胰岛素样生长因子-1 受体(IGF-IR)在乳腺癌组织中的表达及其 临床意义初探

目的:检测分析胰岛素样生长因子-1受体(IGF-IR)在乳腺癌组织中的表达状况及其临床意义。方法:应用半运用半定量RT-PCR方法分析84例乳腺癌和癌旁正常乳腺组织中IGF-1R基因mRNA的表达水平,并分析其表达与患者临床病理特征及预后之间的关系。结果:乳腺癌组织中IGF-1R基因mRNA表达水平显著高于癌旁乳腺组织,二者具有统计学差别(P<0.001)。乳腺癌组织中IGF-1R基因mRNA表达水平与肿瘤组织分化程度及乳腺癌患者的TNM分期和淋巴结转移情况显著相关(P值分别是0.005,0.025和0.041)。另外,高表达IGF-1R的乳腺癌患者的五年总体生存率(38.3%)显著高于低表达IGF-1R的患者(49.7%;P=0.009)。多因素COX模型分析结果表明:IGF-1R基因mRNA表达水平是乳腺癌患者的一个独立预后分子(HR=2.78,95%CI:1.94-3.94,P=0.041)。结论:IGF-1R基因表达水平上调在乳腺癌发展过程中起着重要的作用。IGF-1R基因mRNA表达水平有望成为临床乳腺癌患者预后判断的一个重要分子标志物。

Expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Receptor mRNA in Human Breast Cancer Tissues and Its Clinical Significance

Objective: To investigate the expression of IGF-1R mRNA in human breast cancer tissues and its prognostic roles.Methods: Semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay was employed to detect the expression of IGF-1R mRNA in 82 breast cancer and correspond-ing normal breast epithelial tissues.Additionally,the correlation of IGF-1R mRNA expression with clinicopathological factors of breast cancer patients was investigated and its correlation with prognosis of breast cancer patients was also investigated.Results: The level of...
