摘要
目的:探讨乳腺癌组织中SOX4的表达变化,并探讨其临床意义。方法 :采用免疫组化方法对正常乳腺组织及原发乳腺癌组织中的SOX4蛋白进行检测,分析其表达水平与乳腺癌患者临床病理特征间的关系。结果:SOX4在乳腺癌组织中的表达水平显著高于正常乳腺组织(P<0.01),与乳腺癌组织ER、PR表达、淋巴结转移有相关性(P<0.01、P<0.05、P<0.01);SOX4的表达与Her-2、EGFR表达、肿瘤组织学分级、患者年龄、肿瘤大小无关(P>0.05)。结论:SOX4在乳腺癌组织中高表达,与淋巴结的转移有关,可能成为乳腺癌发生发展的预测指标之一。
Objective:To oberserve the changes of SOX4 protein in breast cancer and investigate the clinical significance.Methods:The expression level of SOX4 in breast cancer cases were detected by means of immunohistochemistry and the relationship between SOX4 and other clinicopathologic factors were analyzed.Results:The expression levels of SOX4 in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in normalbreast tissues (P<0.01).High expression of SOX4 in breast cancer tissues was associated with ER、PR、lymph node involvement (P<0.05),but not with age,tumor size and histological tumor grade (P>0.05).Conclusion:SOX4 protein,highly expressed in breast cancer,is related to the metastasis of the breast cancer and might be a valuable marker for the carcinogenesis and progression of the breast cancer.
