The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) has yet to be established as a biomarker in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but could prove useful in customized chemotherapy. We explored its prognostic value using both quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Analyses of IGF1R were performed on patients with advanced NSCLC, included in a randomized chemotherapy trial, having large, representative tissue samples. IGF1R mRNA and protein expression were correlated to clinical end-points.
Surgical tissue samples were available from 33 patients deemed inoperable. IGF1R status varied according to histopathology. Patients with tumors positive for IGF1R mRNA expression had a shorter progression-free and overall survival when compared to the negative sub-group (6.1 vs. 7.4 months, p=0.039 and 10.9 vs. 14.3 months, p=0.038, respectively). IGF1R protein expression showed a similar, although non-significant tendency.
IGF1R mRNA expression may be a prognostic biomarker in advanced NSCLC and should be investigated in a larger population.
胰岛素样生长因子 1 受体(IGF1R)尚未被确立为非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的生物标志物,但在定制化疗中可能有用。我们使用定量实时逆转录聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)和免疫组织化学(IHC)来探索其预后价值。
对纳入随机化疗试验的晚期 NSCLC 患者进行 IGF1R 分析,这些患者具有大的、有代表性的组织样本。IGF1R mRNA 和蛋白表达与临床终点相关联。
从被认为不可手术的 33 名患者中获得了手术组织样本。根据组织病理学,IGF1R 状态存在差异。与阴性亚组相比,IGF1R mRNA 表达阳性的肿瘤患者的无进展生存期和总生存期更短(6.1 与 7.4 个月,p=0.039 和 10.9 与 14.3 个月,p=0.038)。IGF1R 蛋白表达也显示出类似的趋势,但无统计学意义。
IGF1R mRNA 表达可能是晚期 NSCLC 的预后生物标志物,应在更大的人群中进行研究。
