目的:探讨趋化因子CXCL12在甲状腺乳头状癌组织中的表达及与临床病理特征的关系。方法:采用SP免疫组织化学法检测79例甲状腺乳头状癌、癌旁组织及33例良性甲状腺疾病组织标本中CXCL12的表达。结果:在癌旁甲状腺组织中,CXCL12表达阴性。在癌组织中,CXCL12高水平阳性表达于癌细胞胞浆,阳性表达率为69.6%。在良性甲状腺疾病中CXCL12阳性表达率为12.1%。癌组织与癌旁组织、良性甲状腺疾病组织中表达差异显著(P〈0.05)。CXCL12表达与甲状腺乳头状癌淋巴结转移呈正相关(P〈0.05)。结论:CXCL12可能在甲状腺乳头状癌淋巴结转移中起到一定作用。
Objective:To investigate expressions of chemokine CXCLI 2 and relationship between its expression and clinieopathological characteristics in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods:The expression of CXCL12 in 79 ca-ses of papillary thyroid carcinoma,paracancerous tissue, and 33 cases of thyroid benign lesions tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: Expressions of CXCL12 were negative in paracancerous tissues. In papillary thyroid carcinoma,positive expression rate of CXCL12 was 69.6% . Positive expression rate of CXCL12 in thyroid benign le-sions was 12.1% . The expression of CXCL12 positively correlated with lymph node metastasis(P 〈 0.05 ). Conclu-sion: CXCL12 takes part in lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
