To investigate the expression of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and osteopontin (OPN) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and analyze the correlation between FGF-2 and OPN.
Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of FGF-2 and OPN in 76 patients with NSCLC and 15 normal lung tissues. The effect of FGF-2 on OPN expression at mRNA and protein level in A549 cell was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot.
The positive expression of FGF-2 (65.8%) and OPN (60.5%) in the NSCLC tissues was significantly higher than that in the normal lung tissues (13.3% and 0, respectively ) (P<0.01). The expression of FGF-2 and OPN was closely related to TNM stages and the lymph node metastasis (all Ps<0.01), but not to histological types, sex, and age of NSCLC patients (all Ps>0.05).A positive correlation was found between the expression of FGF-2 and OPN in NSCLC (r=0.552,P<0.01). The expression of OPN protein and mRNA was up-regulated by FGF-2 in A549 cells.
The overexpression of FGF-2 and OPN is related to the metastasis and invasion of NSCLC.FGF-2 may promote the metastasis and invasion of NSCLC depending on the upregulation of OPN expression.
探讨成纤维细胞生长因子-2(FGF-2)和骨桥蛋白(OPN)在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)组织中的表达情况,并分析FGF-2与OPN之间的相关性。
采用免疫组织化学SP法检测76例NSCLC患者及15例正常肺组织中FGF-2和OPN的表达。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹法(Western blot)检测FGF-2对A549细胞中OPN在mRNA和蛋白质水平表达的影响。
NSCLC组织中FGF-2的阳性表达率(65.8%)和OPN的阳性表达率(60.5%)显著高于正常肺组织(分别为13.3%和0)(P<0.01)。FGF-2和OPN的表达与TNM分期及淋巴结转移密切相关(所有P值<0.01),但与NSCLC患者的组织学类型、性别及年龄无关(所有P值>0.05)。NSCLC中FGF-2与OPN的表达呈正相关(r=0.552,P<0.01)。FGF-2可上调A549细胞中OPN蛋白和mRNA的表达。
FGF-2和OPN的过表达与NSCLC的转移和侵袭有关。FGF-2可能通过上调OPN的表达促进NSCLC的转移和侵袭。
