The inhibitor of DNA binding (ID)-1 protein, an inhibitor of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, has been found to be involved in multiple cellular functions. In the present study, ID-1 histoscores and mRNA levels were both significantly (p<0.05) increased in uterine endometrial cancers according to clinical stage, histological grade and depth of myometrial invasion. Furthermore, the 60-month survival rate of the 25 patients with high ID-1 was poor (52%), while that of the other 25 patients with low ID-1 was significantly higher (80%) (p<0.05). ID-1 histoscores and mRNA levels significantly (p<0.0001) correlated with microvessel counts in uterine endometrial cancers. Therefore, ID-1 acts on tumor advancement via angiogenic activity and can be considered a candidate prognostic indicator in uterine endometrial cancers.
DNA结合抑制因子(ID)-1蛋白是一种碱性螺旋-环-螺旋转录因子的抑制因子,已被发现参与多种细胞功能。在本研究中,根据临床分期、组织学分级和肌层浸润深度,子宫内膜癌中ID-1组织学评分和mRNA水平均显著升高(p<0.05)。此外,25例ID-1高表达患者的60个月生存率较低(52%),而另外25例ID-1低表达患者的生存率则显著较高(80%)(p<0.05)。ID-1组织学评分和mRNA水平与子宫内膜癌中的微血管计数显著相关(p<0.0001)。因此,ID-1通过血管生成活性作用于肿瘤进展,可被视为子宫内膜癌的候选预后指标。
