Increasing glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) activity is one of the most important ways to increase the cellular influx of glucose. We previously demonstrated that increased GLUT-1 expression was an independent predictor of survival in patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Thus, GLUT-1 may present a novel therapeutic target in laryngeal carcinoma. In this study, the expression of GLUT-1, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) and glutathione S-transferase-π (GST-π) in laryngeal carcinomas was investigated by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, possible correlations between GLUT-1 and P-gp, MRP1 and GST-π and various clinicopathological parameters were analyzed. In this study, 52.9% (18/34), 58.8% (20/34), 20.6% (7/34) and 58.8% (20/34) of the laryngeal carcinomas were positive for GLUT-1, P-gp, MRP1 and GST-π, respectively. The expression of GLUT-1, P-gp, MRP1 and GST-π was higher in laryngeal carcinoma specimens when compared with laryngeal precancerous lesions (P<0.05). Pearson's correlation analysis showed correlations between GLUT-1 and P-gp (r=0.364; P=0.034), GLUT-1 and MRP1 (r=0.359; P=0.037) and P-gp and GST-π (r=0.426; P=0.012). GLUT-1 expression was found to significantly correlate with tumor-node-metastasis classification (P=0.02) and clinical stage (P=0.037). Furthermore, P-gp was found to significantly correlate with clinical stage (P=0.026). Univariate analysis showed that MRP1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival (c=5.16; P=0.023). Multivariate analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis (P=0.009) and MRP1 overexpression (P=0.023) were significant predictors of poor survival. In the present study, the expression of GLUT-1, P-gp, MRP1 and GST-π in laryngeal carcinomas was investigated, as well as the correlations between these proteins. P-gp was found to significantly correlate with clinical stage, while MRP1 overexpression was significantly associated with poor survival.
提高葡萄糖转运蛋白1(GLUT-1)的活性是增加细胞葡萄糖内流的最重要途径之一。我们之前证明,GLUT-1表达增加是喉癌患者生存的独立预测因素。因此,GLUT-1可能是喉癌的一个新的治疗靶点。在本研究中,采用免疫组织化学方法检测了喉癌中GLUT-1、P-糖蛋白(P-gp)、多药耐药相关蛋白1(MRP1)和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶π(GST-π)的表达。此外,分析了GLUT-1与P-gp、MRP1与GST-π之间可能的相关性以及各种临床病理参数。在本研究中,分别有52.9%(18/34)、58.8%(20/34)、20.6%(7/34)和58.8%(20/34)的喉癌GLUT-1、P-gp、MRP1和GST-π呈阳性。与喉癌前病变相比,喉癌标本中GLUT-1、P-gp、MRP1和GST-π的表达更高(P<0.05)。Pearson相关分析显示GLUT-1与P-gp(r=0.364;P=0.034)、GLUT-1与MRP1(r=0.359;P=0.037)以及P-gp与GST-π(r=0.426;P=0.012)之间存在相关性。发现GLUT-1表达与肿瘤-淋巴结-转移分类(P=0.02)和临床分期(P=0.037)显著相关。此外,发现P-gp与临床分期显著相关(P=0.026)。单因素分析显示MRP1表达与不良生存显著相关(c=5.16;P=0.023)。多因素分析显示淋巴结转移(P=0.009)和MRP1过表达(P=0.023)是不良生存的重要预测因素。在本研究中,检测了喉癌中GLUT-1、P-gp、MRP1和GST-π的表达以及这些蛋白之间的相关性;发现P-gp与临床分期显著相关,而MRP1过表达与不良生存显著相关。
