【摘要】 目的  探讨凋亡抑制蛋白Livin与凋亡蛋白Caspase-3在结直肠腺瘤-癌序列中的表达变化及其相关性。 方法  2006年7月—2009年12月,采用免疫组织化学染色链霉菌抗生物素蛋白-过氧化物酶链接法streptavidin-peroxidese,SP)法检测18例正常黏膜、84例结直肠腺瘤、72例结直肠癌中Livin及Caspase-3的表达情况。 结果  结直肠腺瘤组织中Livin蛋白的阳性表达率明显高于正常黏膜组织(P lt;0.05),而低于腺癌组(P lt;0.05);腺瘤组内绒毛状腺瘤与管状腺瘤相比较,Livin蛋白表达率差异有统计学意义(P lt;0.05)。结直肠腺瘤组织中Caspase-3的阳性表达率明显高于正常黏膜组织(P lt;0.05);而腺瘤组织与癌组织之间Caspase-3阳性表达率差异(P lt;0.05);腺瘤组内绒毛状腺瘤与管状腺瘤相比较,Caspase-3蛋白阳性表达率差异无统计学意义(P gt;0.05)。Livin表达与Caspase-3表达呈负相关(P lt;0.05)。 结论  凋亡抑制蛋白Livin参与了大肠肿瘤的发生,且在大肠腺瘤-腺癌阶段起到了重要作用;凋亡抑制蛋白Livin与Caspase-3表达呈负相关,抑制Caspase-3蛋白的活性可能是Livin促进结肠癌发生的途径之一。
【Abstract】 Objective  To investigate the expression of Livin and Caspase-3 among colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence, and to identify the relationship between Livin and Caspase-3 expression in colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Methods  Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded colorectal tissues from 174 patients, including 84 adenomas, 72 carcinomas, and 18 normal mucosa, were examined for expression of Livin and Caspase-3 by streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemistry between July 2006 and December 2009. Results  The positive rates of Livin protein expression in colorectal adenoma was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa (P lt;0.05), but lower than that in adenocarcinoma (P lt;0.05); the expression of Livin in tubular adenoma was significantly higher than that in villous adenoma (P lt;0.05). The positive rates of Caspase-3 protein expression in colorectal adenoma were significantly higher than that in normal mucosa and carcinoma (P lt;0.05), and the difference in positive rate of Caspase-3 expression was not significant between the villous adenoma and tubular adenoma (P gt;0.05). Livin expression had negative correlation with the Caspase-3 expression (P gt;0.05). Conclusion  The difference in expression of Livin between adenoma and adenocarcinoma indicates the potential value of it in carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer, which suggestes that suppressing Caspase-3 protein activity is one of the channels by which livin promotes colorectal carcinogenesis.
