To investigate the expression and significance of transforming growth factor-β(1) (TGF-β(1)) and Ki-67 nuclear antigen in salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
The expression of TGF-β(1) and Ki-67 nuclear antigen in 20 cases of salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma and 45 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma were detected by the streptavidin-peroxidase immunohistochemical method.
Expression of TGF-β(1) (39/45) and Ki-67 nuclear antigen (43/45) in mucoepidermoid carcinoma was significantly higher than in pleomorphic adenoma (P < 0.05). TGF-β(1) expression was significantly higher in moderately/poorly differentiated mucoepidermoid carcinoma (16/16) than that in well differentiated mucoepidermoid carcinoma (23/29) and pleomorphic adenoma (12/20) (P < 0.05), but not different between well differentiated mucoepidermoid carcinoma (6/23) and pleomorphic adenoma (8/12) (P > 0.05). The expression of Ki-67 was increased with the increment of TGF-β(1) expression in mucoepidermoid carcinoma (P < 0.05).
The high expression of TGF-β(1) may play an important role in cell differentiation and malignant proliferation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
探讨转化生长因子-β(1)(TGF-β(1))及Ki-67核抗原在涎腺黏液表皮样癌中的表达及意义。
采用链霉亲和素-过氧化物酶免疫组化法检测20例涎腺多形性腺瘤和45例黏液表皮样癌中TGF-β(1)及Ki-67核抗原的表达。
黏液表皮样癌中TGF-β(1)(39/45)及Ki-67核抗原(43/45)的表达显著高于多形性腺瘤(P < 0.05)。中/低分化黏液表皮样癌(16/16)中TGF-β(1)的表达显著高于高分化黏液表皮样癌(23/29)及多形性腺瘤(12/20)(P < 0.05),但高分化黏液表皮样癌(6/23)与多形性腺瘤(8/12)之间差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。黏液表皮样癌中Ki-67的表达随TGF-β(1)表达的增加而升高(P < 0.05)。
TGF-β(1)的高表达可能在黏液表皮样癌的细胞分化及恶性增殖中起重要作用。
