摘要
目的:研究舌鳞状细胞癌(TSCC)有丝分裂活化蛋白激酶(ERK)基因的表达及其与肿瘤病理分型、临床分期、颈淋巴结转移的关系。方法:采用RT-PCR技术检测45例舌癌组织中ERK1、ERK2mRNA的表达,运用SPSS12.0软件包对数据进行处理,均数比较采用t检验。结果:ERK基因表达强度与TSCC病理分型无关;T3-4期患者ERK基因表达强度显著高于T1-2期患者;TSCC颈淋巴结转移患者,ERK基因表达强度显著高于无转移者。结论:ERK1、ERK2mRNA表达与舌鳞癌的发生、进展和淋巴结转移相关,可作为患者预后的参考指标之一。
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ERK1, ERK2 gene expression and tumor behavior such as invasion, metastasis in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). METHODS: The expressions of ERK1, ERK2 at gene level were examined in 45 cases of TSCC by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR). Student's t test was used for data analysis using SPSS 12.0 software package. RESULTS: No correlation between the expression intensity of ERK gene and tumor pathological degree of TSCC.A significant relationship was observed between the expression intensity of ERK gene and T stage of TSCC. A significant relationship was observed between the expression intensity of ERK gene and lymphnode metastasis of TSCC. CONCLUSIONS: Activation of ERK gene may play a strong role in cervical lymph node metastasis of TSCC. Intensive expression of ERK may be an important presage marker in TSCC patient.
