摘要
目的探讨甲状腺乳头状癌（PTC）组织中x染色体连锁凋亡抑制因子相关因子1（XAFl）基因启动子甲基化及其与蛋白表达的相关性。方法采用甲基化特异性聚合酶链反应（PCR，MSP）及免疫组化（sP法）检测70例PTC及其对应的癌旁非癌组织（NCE）中XAFl基因启动子甲基化及其蛋白的表达。结果在NCE中，无一例出现XAFl基因启动子甲基化，而在PTC组织中有35．7％（25／70）出现甲基化（x^2=27．206，P〈0．01），且甲基化状态与PTC的TNM分期、病理分级及淋巴结转移有关（P〈0．05）；NCE和PTC中，XAFl蛋白表达的阳性率分别为100％（70／70）和55．7％（39／70）（）（。：36．458，P〈0．01）。在PTC中，病理分级I级和Ⅱ级组，XAFl蛋白阳性率分别为67．5％（27／40）和40．0％（12／30），在淋巴结转移阳性和阴性组中分别为35．7％（10／28）和69．0％（29／42），以上两组比较差异有统计学意义（x^2值分别为5．254和7．565，P〈0．05）；XAFl基因启动子甲基化与其蛋白表达有明显的相关性（x^2=8．864，P〈0．01）。结论XAFl基因启动子甲基化是基因失活的重要机制之一，在PTC的发生、发展中起着重要的作用。
Objective To explore the relationship between methylation status of XAF1 （X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein associated factor-1 ） gene promoter and its protein expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma （PTC） . Methods Methylation-speeific polymerase chain reaction （MSP） and immunohistochemical substance P （SP） technique were used to detect the methylation status of XAF1 gene promoter and its protein expression in 70 PTC cases and their matched adjacent non-cancerous epithelium （NCE）. Results In NCE, there was no promoter methylation of XAF1 gene while the rate was 35.7% （25/70） in PTC （ x^2= 27. 206, P 〈 0. 01 ）. And it was correlated with tumor TNM stage, pathological grade and lymph node metastasis （P 〈 0.05）. The positive rates of XAF1 protein expression in NCE and PTC were 100% （70/70） and 55.7% （39/70） respectively. And there was significant difference（x^2= 36. 458, P 〈0.01 ）. In PTC, the positive rates of XAF1 protein expression in Grades I and Ⅱwere 67.5% （27/40） and 40.0% （12/30） respectively. And they were 35.7% （10/28） and 69. 0% （29/42） in the lymph node metastasis and non-metastasis groups respectively. And there were significant differences between two groups （P 〈 0. 05 ）. Futhermore, there was distinct correlation between methylation of XAF1 gene promoter and its protein expression （x^2= 8. 864, P 〈 O. 01 ）. Conclusion Methylation of promoter may be one of the important inactivating factors of XAF1 gene. And it plays an important role in the carcinogenesis and progression of PTC.
