摘要
目的观察肝癌发生过程中TGFβ1及基因动态表达的临床价值。方法以2-乙酰氨基芴(2-FFA)喂饲雄性SD鼠诱发肝细胞癌变,以病理学方法、巢式RT-PCR、免疫组织化学法和ELISA,观察肝细胞形态学、TGFβ1 mRNA、TGFβ1胞内定位、肝组织及外周血TGFβ1的动态变化与临床价值。结果SD鼠在喂饲2-FAA后,肝细胞出现颗粒样变性、不典型增生到肝癌形成。肝和血TGFβ1:正常组分别为(1.97±0.28)ng/mg和(5.98±1.76)ng/ml,变性组分别为(2.56±0、31)ng/mg和(9、41±0.37)ng/ml,癌前组分别为(3.88±0.11)ng/mg和(12.89±0、69)ng/ml,癌变组分别为(6、74±1.41)ng/mg和(16.74±2.19)ng/ml。癌变组明显高于对照组、肝细胞变性组和癌前病变组。癌变过程中TGFβ1阳性表达呈胞内分布,肝和外周血中TGFβ1呈显著正相关。肝癌患者血浆TGFβ1诊断肝癌的阳性率为89、5%,在血AFP〈400μg/L肝癌患者中,TGFβ1阳性率为93.3%,与AFP联合检查诊断肝癌阳性率达94.7%。肝癌组织TGFβ1 mRNA呈强阳性表达,伴有肝外转移患者外周血TGFβ1 mRNA检出率为100.0%。结论TGFβ1参与肝细胞癌变过程,TGFβ1及TGFβ1 mRNA过表达有助于肝癌早期诊断及预后判断。
Objective Objective To investigate the dynamic expressions ofTGF-beta 1 and TGF- beta 1 rnRNA at different stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and their use in clinical diagnosis. Methods Hepatoma models were developed with 2-FAA using male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Morphological changes of the rat liver histological preparations (H&E stained) were studied. The fragment of TGF-beta 1 gene obtained was amplified by nested RT-PCR. Dynamic change of TGF-beta 1 level was quan- titatively analyzed by ELISA. The distribution of TGF-beta 1 in the cells and its gene expression were detected in human HCC tissues, Results The progressive increases of hepatic TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 1 mRNA were observed in rat hepatocytes which progressed from granular degeneration, atypical hyperplasia and finally to HCC development induced by 2-FAA, The expression levels in HCC tissues were significantly higher than those in the normal and degenerative ones. TGF-beta 1 was shown in rat hepatocytes by immunohistochemistry. Plasma TGF-beta 1 was detected in 89.5% of all the patients with HCC, but it was detected in 93.3% of them who had an AFP 〈 400 μg/L. TGF-beta 1 mRNA showed a stronger expression in HCC tissues. TGF-beta 1 mRNA was found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from all HCC patients with extrahepatic metastasis. Conclusion TGF-beta 1 may participate in hepatocyte canceration. The overexpression of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 1 mRNA could be useful markers for early diagnosis and predicting prognosis of HCC.
