摘要
为探讨抑凋亡基因Bcl-2与子宫内膜癌发生发展及预后的关系,用ABC免疫组化法对40例正常子宫内膜和60例子宫内膜癌Bcl-2蛋白表达状况进行检测。结果发现Bcl-2表达在正常子宫内膜中呈周期性变化,其表达由增生早期开始逐渐增强,到增生晚期表达最强,进入分泌期则减弱乃至消失。子宫内膜癌中Bcl-2表达水平远远低于增生期内膜Bcl-2表达水平,且表达于预后较好的腺棘癌、乳头状腺癌、单纯腺癌组织,而浆液性腺癌和鳞癌组织中则无表达;分化程度低、期别晚者,Bcl-2表达弱(P<0.01);在5例伴有内膜增生过长的内膜癌中,增生过长内膜的表达明显强于癌组织和增生期内膜的表达。由此推测Bcl-2高表达可能在子宫内膜增生过长的发生中起着重要作用,而内膜癌中Bcl-2表达明显减弱,其作用仍待深入研究。Bcl-2的高表达可提示预后较好。
To make an initial inquiry into the correlation of development and prognosis with the expression of Bcl 2 protein in endometrial carcinoma, we detected the Bcl 2 protein expression in 40 normal and 60 malignant samples of the endometrium by means of an immunohistochemical technique. We observed that Bcl 2 expression varied with menstrual cycle, becoming stronger in proliferative phase and then declining in secretory phase. Bcl 2 expression in endometrial carcinoma was much weaker than that in normal endometrium, and Bcl 2 was particulary expressed in adenoacanthoma, papillary adenocarcinoma and simple adenocarcinoma. The higher grade and stage were, the stronger Bcl 2 expression was ( P<0.01 ). In 5 cases of endometrial carcinoma with hyperplastic endometrium, Bcl 2 expression of carcinoma was obviously weaker than that of hyperplastic endometrium. So we conclude that Bcl 2 overexpression may contribute to the formation of hyperplastic endometrium, that obvious reduction of Bcl 2 expression in endometrial carcinoma may promote apoptosis of cells, and that Bcl 2 over expression may be associated with good prognosis.
