目的探讨抗肿瘤相关糖蛋白-72(TAG-72)抗原的表达及其与原发性胆囊癌(PGC)病理特征的关系。方法用原核表达获得抗TAG-72单链抗体,并用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS—PAGE)和Western blot得以验证;用免疫组化方法检测TAG-72抗原在PGC的表达。结果通过原核表达获取大小为31kDa的抗TAG-72单链抗体并得以证实。TAG-72抗原在胆囊良、恶性组织阳性率分别为59.6%、6.7%(P〈0.05)。高分化PGC的TAG-72抗原表达显著低于中低分化PGC(P〈0.05);肿瘤直径≤2cm者TAG-72表达显著低于〉2cm者(P〈0.05);在PGC Nevin临床分期Ⅰ~Ⅲ期与Ⅳ~Ⅴ期间则无显著性差异(P〉0.05)。结论获得了抗TAC-72单链抗体的原核表达方法。TAG-72抗原可以作为一个肿瘤标志物在临床中应用,为抗TAG-72单链抗体在PGC诊治中的应用奠定实验基础。
[Objective] To investigate generation of prokaryotic expressions of anti-tumor associated glycoprotein-72 (TAG-72)scFv, and to detect TAG-72 expression in human primary gallbladder carcinomas (PGC). [Methods] Anti-TAG-72 scFv was prokaryotic-expressed and proved to be 31 kDa fuse-protein by SDS- PAGE and Western blot. Exporesstion of TAG-72 antigen was determined in gallbladder tumor by immuriohistochemistry. [Result] The positive rates of TAG-72 in 47 PGCs and 15 gallbladder adenomahyperplastics were 59.6%and6.7%, respectively. It shows that TAG-72 expression in PGC was significantly higher than those ingallbladder adenoma-hyperplastics ( P〈0. 05) ; and that expression in well differentiated PGC (48. 3 %) was significantly lower than those in moderately,poorly differentiated PGC(48. 3%, P 〈 0.05). TAG-72 was more highly expressed in smaller PGC (26.3%)than larger one (82.1%,P 〈 0. 05),but no statistical difference between various PGC clinical stages. [Conclusion] We generated anti-TAG-72 scFv by prokaryotic expression and detected TAG-72 expression in human gallbladder tumors, it suggests that TAG-72 could be used as gallbladder tumor's maker in clinical applications.
