目的:探讨聚腺苷酸二磷酸核糖转移酶(poly ADP-ribose polymerase,PARP)1及其活性产物聚腺苷酸二磷酸核糖(poly ADP-ribose,PAR)在三阴性乳腺癌(triple negative breast cancer,TNBC)及非TNBC中的表达及其意义。方法:应用免疫组织化学染色方法检测PARP1及PAR在107例TNBC及116例非TNBC中表达差异,将患者分为TNBC组和非TNBC组。结果:PARP1与PAR均在细胞质或(和)细胞核呈现着色表达,TNBC组细胞核PARP1表达(χ2=9.258,P=0.002)及细胞质PARP1表达(χ2=3.879, P=0.049)均高于非 TNBC 组;TNBC 组细胞核 PAR 表达低于非 TNBC 组(χ2=6.163,P=0.013),而细胞质 PAR 阳性表达明显高于非TNBC组(χ2=7.454,P=0.006)。比较细胞核/细胞质PARP1及PAR表达,均未发现PARP1与PAR表达存在明显的相关性。结论:在TNBC组细胞核/细胞质中PARP1均高表达,并较易表现为细胞质PAR阳性表达及细胞核PAR低表达,且PARP1与PAR表达无明显相关性。
Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP1) and its active product poly ADP-ribose (PAR) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-TNBC. Methods: Immunohis-tochemical staining was used to detect different expression patterns of PARP1 and PAR in 107 TNBC and 116 non-TNBC cases. Re-sults: Immunohistochemical staining revealed different cytoplasmic and nuclear PARP1 and PAR expression patterns. Nuclear PARP1 (χ 2=9.258; P=0.002) and cytoplasmic PARP1 (χ 2= 3.879; P=0.049) expression was higher in the TNBC group than in the non-TNBC group. The nuclear PAR expression was lower in the TNBC group than in the non-TNBC group (χ2=6.163; P=0.013). By contrast, the PAR cytoplasmic expression was significantly higher in the TNBC group than in the non-TNBC group (χ2=7.454; P=0.006). No signifi-cant correlation existed between the PAR and PARP1 expression patterns either in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus. Conclusion: Nuclear or cytoplasmic PARP1 was highly expressed in TNBC. High cytoplasmic and low nuclear PAR expression patterns were commonly ob-served in TNBC. No significant correlation existed between PARP1 and PAR expression.
