The aim of this study was to explore the expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) in gastric stromal tissue and its clinical significance. TFPI-2 expression was detected by immunohistochemical analysis, RT-PCR and western blotting in tumor, peritumoral and gastric normal tissues from 72 patients with gastric stromal tumors. The level of TFPI-2 expression was observed to be significantly higher in gastric normal tissue than in peritumoral tissue, and was significantly higher in peritumoral tissue than in tumor tissue (P<0.01). As the NIH grade increased, the level of TFPI-2 expression decreased (P<0.01). A low expression level of TFPI-2 was closely associated with invasion and metastasis of gastric stromal tumors. In conclusion, the level of TFPI-2 expression was higher in gastric normal tissue than in gastric stromal tumors. Low expression levels of TFPI-2 may be associated with invasion and metastasis of gastric stromal tumors.
本研究旨在探讨组织因子途径抑制物-2(TFPI-2)在胃间质组织中的表达及其临床意义。采用免疫组织化学分析、逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质印迹法检测72例胃间质瘤患者肿瘤组织、瘤周组织及胃正常组织中TFPI-2的表达。结果显示,胃正常组织中TFPI-2表达水平显著高于瘤周组织,瘤周组织中TFPI-2表达水平显著高于肿瘤组织(P<0.01)。随着美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)分级增加,TFPI-2表达水平降低(P<0.01)。TFPI-2低表达水平与胃间质瘤的侵袭和转移密切相关。总之,胃正常组织中TFPI-2表达水平高于胃间质瘤。TFPI-2低表达水平可能与胃间质瘤的侵袭和转移有关。
