摘要
目的:探讨三阴性乳腺癌( TNBC)中基质金属蛋白酶-9( MMP-9)及E-钙粘蛋白( E-cadherin)表达情况及二者与TNBC临床病理特征的关系,从而分析MMP-9与E-cadherin在TNBC发生发展中的作用。方法应用免疫组化法检测127例TNBC组织中MMP-9和E-cadherin的表达情况。结果 TNBC中MMP-9阳性表达率为53.54%,E-cadherin阳性表达率为32.28%。 MMP-9的表达与肿瘤大小(P=0.007),组织学分级(P=0.006),临床分期(P=0.003),淋巴结转移(P=0.000)和淋巴管浸润(P=0.015)相关。 E-cadherin的表达与淋巴结转移(P=0.016)和淋巴管浸润(P=0.021)相关。同时统计结果显示二者表达与其他因素无相关性( P>0.05)。结论 MMP-9和E-cadherin与TNBC的浸润和转移有关,可能成为TNBC靶向治疗的研究靶点。
Objective To investigate the expression of matrixmetalloprotein -9(MMP-9)and E-cad-herin in triple negative breast cancer ( TNBC) and its relationship with the clinicopathologic features of TNBC .To analyze the function of MMP -9 and E-cadherin in TNBC .Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of MMP -9 and E-cadherin in 127 cases of TNBC.Results The MMP-9 positive rate was 53.54%and E-cadherin positive grade was 32.28%in TNBC.Expression of MMP-9 was correlated with tumor size(P=0.007),histological grade(P=0.006),TNM stage(P=0.003),lymph node metastasis(P=0.000)and lymph duct invasive(P=0.000).Expression of E-cadherin was correlated with lymph node metasta-sis(P=0.016)and lymph duct invasive(P=0.015).However,they were not correlated with other factors .Con-clusion The expression of MMP -9 and E -cadherin was correlated with invasion and metastasis in TNBC , which could be an important research topic in the future studies .
