目的探讨肿瘤转移抑制因子Nm23-H1在小细胞肺癌(small cell lung cancer,SCLC)中的表达及其与预后的关系。方法通过免疫组化S-P法检测71例SCLC组织和22例正常肺组织中Nm23-H1蛋白表达情况,根据染色强度和阳性肿瘤细胞数目所占百分比,将其分为高、低表达两组,使用SPSS19.0软件统计分析Nm23-H1的表达与临床病理及预后的关系。结果正常肺组织中Nm23-H1蛋白表达显著高于SCLC组织(90.9%vs57.7%,P〈0.01);局限期患者Nm23.H1蛋白表达显著高于广泛期患者(66.7%掷39.1%,P〈0.05)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示,Nm23-H1蛋白可作为SCLC是否转移的独立保护因素(OR=0.32,95%C1=0.12—0.90,P〈0.05)。亚细胞定位在正常肺组织与肺癌组织中没有差异,在不同分期之间也没有差异。多因素COX风险回归分析表明只有临床分期为广泛期和年龄I〉60岁是SCLC患者总生存的劣势预后因素(年龄:HR=1.03,95%C1=1.00—1.05,P〈0.05;临床分期:HR:1.85,95%CI=1.03~3.33,P〈0.05)。Nm23.H1蛋白表达及亚细胞定位与SCLC患者生存期都没有显著相关性。结论Nm23-H1在SCLC组织中以细胞质表达为主的低表达,低表达与SCLC的远处转移密切相关,可能是SCLC预后不良的指标之一。
Objective To study the expression of Nm23-H1 and its relationship with prognosis in patients with small cell lung cancer. Methods The expression of Nm23-H1 was detected by immunohisto- chemistry in 71 small cell lung cancer tissue samples and 22 normal lung tissue samples. According to their positive percentage and staining intensity, they were divided into 2 groups:high expression group and low expression group. The correlation of Nm23-H1 expression with clinicopathology and prognosis was performed by SPSS 19.0. Results The positive rate of Nm23-H1 was higher in normal tissue samples than in small cell lung cancer(90.9% vs 57.7% ,P 〈 0.05 ) ;It was higher in limited stage than in extensive stage small cell lung cancer(66.7% vs 39.1% ,P 〈 0.05 )o Multivariate logistic regression showed the Nm23-H1 expression was an independent protect factor for the metastasis of small cell lung cancer ( OR =0.32,95% CI =0.12 -0. 90 ,P 〈 0.05 ). The subcellular location of the Nm23-H1 showed no difference between normal lung tissues and cancer tissues, neither between different stages. In the survival analysis, Nm23-H1 positive expression was found to be related with decreased median overall survival than negative expression patients (P 〈 0.05 ). The stage was also associated with mOS that the patients with limited foei stayed longer than those with metastastic diesease ( HR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.03 -3.63, P 〈 0.05). Conclusion Nm23-H1 is midly expressed in SCLC cancer tissues, and mainly in the cytoplasma. The expression plays an important role in the metastasis of SCLC, and may be a predictive factor for the poor outcome of SCLC.
