To study the expression of MK-1 and RegIV and to detect their pathological significances in benign and malignant lesions of gallbladder.
The expression of MK-1 and RegIV was detected by immunohistochemical method in paraffin-embedded sections of surgical resected specimens from gallbladder adenocarcinoma (n = 108), peritumoral tissues (n = 46), adenomatous polyp (n = 15), and chronic cholecystitis (n = 35).
The positive rate of MK-1 or RegIV expression was significantly higher in gallbladder adenocarcinoma than that in peritumoral tissues (χ(2)(MK-1) = 18.76, P < 0.01; χ(2)(RegIV) = 9.92, P < 0.01), denomatous polyp (χ(2)(MK-1) = 9.49, P < 0.01; χ(2)(RegIV) = 8.59, P < 0.01) and chronic cholecystitis (χ(2)MK-1 = 24.11, P < 0.01; χ(2)(RegIV) = 19.24, P < 0.01). The positive cases of MK-1 and/or RegIV in the benign lesions showed moderately- or severe-atypical hyperplasia of gallbladder epitheli. The positive rates of MK-1 were significantly higher in the cases of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, no-metastasis of lymph node, and no-invasiveness of regional tissues than those in the ones of differentiated adenocarcinoma, metastasis of lymph node, and invasiveness of regional tissues in gallbladder adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). On the contrary, the positive rates of RegIV were significantly lower in the cases of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, no-metastasis of lymph node, and no-invasiveness of regional tissues than those in the ones of differentiated adenocarcinoma, metastasis of lymph node, and invasiveness of regional tissues in gallbladder adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that decreased expression of MK-1 (P = 0.09) or increased expression of RegIV (P = 0.003) was associated with decreased overall survival. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that decreased expression of MK-1 (P = 0.033) and increased expression of RegIV (P = 0.008) was an independent prognostic predictor in gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
The expression of MK-1 and/or RegIV might be closely related to the carcinogenesis, clinical biological behaviors, and prognosis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
研究 MK-1 和 RegIV 的表达,并检测其在胆囊良恶性病变中的病理意义。
采用免疫组织化学方法检测 108 例胆囊腺癌、46 例癌旁组织、15 例腺瘤性息肉和 35 例慢性胆囊炎手术切除标本石蜡切片中 MK-1 和 RegIV 的表达。
MK-1 或 RegIV 的阳性率在胆囊腺癌中明显高于癌旁组织(χ(2)(MK-1) = 18.76,P < 0.01;χ(2)(RegIV) = 9.92,P < 0.01)、腺瘤性息肉(χ(2)(MK-1) = 9.49,P < 0.01;χ(2)(RegIV) = 8.59,P < 0.01)和慢性胆囊炎(χ(2)MK-1 = 24.11,P < 0.01;χ(2)(RegIV) = 19.24,P < 0.01)。良性病变中 MK-1 和/或 RegIV 阳性病例表现为胆囊上皮中度或重度不典型增生。MK-1 在分化良好的腺癌、无淋巴结转移、无区域性组织浸润病例中的阳性率明显高于分化差的腺癌、淋巴结转移和区域性组织浸润病例(P < 0.05 或 P < 0.01)。相反,RegIV 在分化良好的腺癌、无淋巴结转移、无区域性组织浸润病例中的阳性率明显低于分化差的腺癌、淋巴结转移和区域性组织浸润病例(P < 0.05 或 P < 0.01)。单因素 Kaplan-Meier 分析表明,MK-1 表达降低(P = 0.09)或 RegIV 表达升高(P = 0.003)与总生存时间降低相关。多因素 Cox 回归分析表明,MK-1 表达降低(P = 0.033)和 RegIV 表达升高(P = 0.008)是胆囊腺癌的独立预后预测因子。
MK-1 和/或 RegIV 的表达可能与胆囊腺癌的发生、临床生物学行为和预后密切相关。
