摘要
目的:探讨肝癌患者外周血中白蛋白mRNA在血行播散中的意义。方法:抽取30例肝癌患者外周静脉血5ml,应用RT-PCR技术对血中白蛋白mRNA进行扩增检测。结果:敏感性实验中,健康人血中存在102以上个肝癌细胞时可测出。30例HCC患者中,白蛋白mRNA的阳性率为60%(18/30);白蛋白mRNA的检出率与肝癌的TNM分期、肿瘤大小、有无门脉癌栓及有无肝外转移有显著的相关性(P<0.05),而与血清AFP值无关(P>0.75)。结论:白蛋白mRNA是反映原发性肝癌患者血中是否存在肝癌细胞的灵敏指标。
Objective:To determine whether albumin messenger RNA(mRNA),a specifically hepatocyte-expressed gene,could be a marker of metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:Pe-ripheral blood samples were obtained from30patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)and RT-PCR technique was used to detect the human albumin mRNA in the blood.Results:In the sensitivity test,10 2 hepatocytes mixed into health controls' blood can be detected.Of the30HCC patients,18(60%)patients had positive albumin mRNA.The presence of albumin mRNA correlated with the TNM clinical stages,the size of tumor,extrahepatic metastasis or with portal vein carcinothrombosis(P<0.05).There was no significant correlation between the positive rate of albumin mRNA and the serumα-feto-protein(AFP)(P>0.05).Conclu sion:The positive detection of albumin mRNA in the peripheral blood can indicate the presence of hematogenous spreading metastasis in patients with HCC.
