目的:探讨NEDD9在非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)中的表达及意义。方法:应用免疫组化方法检测NEDD9在145例非小细胞肺癌及癌旁正常肺组织中的表达,并分析其表达与肿瘤临床病理因素及预后的相关性。结果:NEDD9在非小细胞肺癌中高表达,在正常肺组织中低表达(P〈0.001);在非小细胞肺癌中,NEDD9的高表达与患者的阳性淋巴结转移及高TNM分期正相关(P=0.001和P=0.039);在预后分析中,NEDD9高表达的患者在单因素和多因素分析中均表现出更差的5年累计生存率(P〈0.001)。结论:NEDD9促进非小细胞肺癌的侵袭转移,并与较差的预后相关。
Objective:To investigate the expression of NEDD9 protein in non - small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and paired adjacent normal lung tissue, and assess their correlations with clinicopathological parameters and progno- sis. Methods: The expression level of NEDD9 in NSCLC and normal lung tissue samples was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results :The expression of NEDD9 in NSCLC was higher than that in normal lung tissue( P 〈 0. 001 ). In NSCLC, increased NEDD9 expression was significantly correlated with lymph - node metastasis and TNM Ⅲ a - Ⅲb stage ( P = 0. 0131 and P = 0.039). In addition, patients with NEDD9 positive expression had poor survival( P 〈 0. 001 in univariate and multivariate analysis). Conclusion: NEDD9 may positively regulate invasiveness and metastasis of lung cancer cell, and correlate with progression and poor prognosis in NSCLC.
