To investigate the possible role of GST-pi in esophageal carcinogenesis.
GST-pi expression at mRNA level was studied by in situ hybridization (ISH) and at protein level by immunohistochemistry (IHC). GST-pi expression of the esophagus in normal epithelial cells (NC), hyperplastic cells (HC), dysplastic cells (DC) from grade I to III, carcinoma in-situ (CIS) and invasive carcinoma (IC) was examined in the same esophageal cancer specimens (n = 48) which provided a model reflecting the process of esophageal carcinogenesis.
The positive rate of IHC staining was 87.5% for NC, 95.3% for HC, 55.9% for DC (grade I: 73.9%, grade II: 47.4%, grade III: 41.2%), 36.4% for CIS and 45.8% for IC. The positive rate of GST-pi mRNA expression was 81.2% for NC, 94.4% for HC, 61.9% for DC (grade I: 76.5%, grade II: 61.5%, grade III: 41.7%), 44.4% for CIS and 83.3% for grade I IC, 30.0% for grade II IC and 0% for grade III IC. There was no statistically significant difference in GST-pi expression at the mRNA and the protein level.
There is a decreasing tendency of GST-pi expression from dysplasia to CIS and IC. The decrease in GST-pi expression is an early event in esophageal carcinogenesis.
探讨谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶π(GST-pi)在食管癌发生中的可能作用。
采用原位杂交(ISH)技术研究 GST-pi 在 mRNA 水平的表达,采用免疫组织化学(IHC)技术研究其在蛋白质水平的表达。在同一组食管癌标本(n = 48)中检测正常上皮细胞(NC)、增生细胞(HC)、Ⅰ至Ⅲ级发育异常细胞(DC)、原位癌(CIS)和浸润癌(IC)中食管的 GST-pi 表达,该组标本提供了一个反映食管癌发生过程的模型。
免疫组织化学染色阳性率在 NC 中为 87.5%,HC 中为 95.3%,DC 中为 55.9%(Ⅰ级:73.9%,Ⅱ级:47.4%,Ⅲ级:41.2%),CIS 中为 36.4%,IC 中为 45.8%。GST-pi mRNA 表达阳性率在 NC 中为 81.2%,HC 中为 94.4%,DC 中为 61.9%(Ⅰ级:76.5%,Ⅱ级:61.5%,Ⅲ级:41.7%),CIS 中为 44.4%,Ⅰ级 IC 中为 83.3%,Ⅱ级 IC 中为 30.0%,Ⅲ级 IC 中为 0%。GST-pi 在 mRNA 和蛋白质水平的表达无统计学显著差异。
从发育异常到原位癌和浸润癌,GST-pi 表达呈下降趋势。GST-pi 表达下降是食管癌发生中的早期事件。
