文摘目的探讨宫颈癌(cervical cancer,CC)组织中组蛋白赖氨酸特异性去甲基化酶1A[lysine(K)-specific demethylase,KDM1A]、应激诱导磷蛋白1(stress-induced phosphoprotein 1,STIP1)、叉头框蛋白O3A(forkhead box O3A,FOXO3A)表达及其与临床病理特征及预后的关系。方法招募2020年1月~2022年2月于洛阳市妇幼保健院行手术治疗的CC患者147例。采用免疫组化法检测组织KDM1A、STIP1、FOXO3A蛋白表达,采用Kaplan-Meier生存曲线分析生存情况,采用COX回归分析预后影响因素。结果CC组织中KDM1A、STIP1蛋白阳性表达率显著高于癌旁正常组织,FOXO3A蛋白阳性表达率显著低于癌旁正常组织(P<0.05)。三者异常表达与国际妇产科联盟(federation international of gynecology and obstetrics,FIGO)分期、淋巴结转移有关(P<0.05)。预后不良组KDM1A、STIP1蛋白阳性表达显著高于预后良好组,FOXO3A蛋白阳性表达显著低于预后良好组(P<0.05)。KDM1A、STIP1阳性表达者3年无进展生存率(59.79%、54.65%)低于阴性表达者(76.00%、80.33%)(Log-Rankχ^(2)分别为5.664、12.870,P<0.05);FOXO3A阳性表达者3年无进展生存率(89.09%)高于FOXO3A阴性表达者(51.09%)(Log-Rankχ^(2)=23.150,P<0.001)。FIGO分期、淋巴结转移及癌组织KDM1A、STIP1、FOXO3A蛋白表达是CC患者预后的影响因素(P<0.05)。结论KDM1A、STIP1蛋白阳性表达及FOXO3A蛋白阴性表达可能与CC进展相关,是潜在的预后标志物。
