The purpose of this study was to evaluate baseline RRM2 protein and gene expression in tumors of patients receiving 3-AP.
Tumor blocks from patients enrolled in phase I and II clinical studies using 3-AP, were evaluated for RRM2 gene and protein expression by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (Q-RTPCR) and automated quantitative analysis (AQUA).
Esophageal and gastric cancers overexpressed RRM2 protein when compared to prostate cancer (Z-score, 0.68 +/- 0.94 SD, vs 0.41 +/- 0.84 SD, respectively; p = 0.04). Esophageal and gastric cancers also overexpressed RRM2 mRNA when compared to prostate cancer (relative gene expression 2.56 +/- 1.49 SD, vs 0.29 +/- 0.20 SD, respectively; p = 0.02). Protein and gene expression were moderately associated (Spearman's rank correlation = 0.30; p = 0.12).
RRM2 gene and protein expression varies by tumor type.
本研究旨在评估接受3 - 氨基苯甲酰胺(3 - AP)治疗的患者肿瘤中的RRM2蛋白和基因基线表达。
对参与使用3 - AP的I期和II期临床研究的患者的肿瘤组织块,通过定量实时聚合酶链反应(Q - RTPCR)和自动定量分析(AQUA)评估RRM2基因和蛋白表达。
与前列腺癌相比,食管癌和胃癌中RRM2蛋白过表达(Z值分别为0.68±0.94标准差和0.41±0.84标准差;p = 0.04)。与前列腺癌相比,食管癌和胃癌中RRM2 mRNA也过表达(相对基因表达分别为2.56±1.49标准差和0.29±0.20标准差;p = 0.02)。蛋白和基因表达呈中度相关(Spearman等级相关性 = 0.30;p = 0.12)。
RRM2基因和蛋白表达因肿瘤类型而异。
