中文摘要:
      目的:探讨claudin-4 在肾透明细胞癌中的表达及与临床病理特征及预后的相关性。方法:应用免疫组织化学技术检测50 例 肾透明细胞癌组织及10 例正常肾组织标本中claudin-4 的表达情况,并分析与临床病理参数的相关性;随机选取其中4 例肾透明 细胞癌患者癌组织及4 例正常肾新鲜组织,Western blot 检测claudin-4 的表达情况,并与免疫组化检测结果进行相关性分析;结 合随访结果分析claudin-4 的表达水平与患者无疾病生存期的关系。结果:Claudin-4在肾透明细胞癌组织中的表达显著高于肾正 常组织(P<0.05) ,表达水平与肿瘤的直径、TNM分期、临床分期及淋巴结转移相关;Western blot 结果也表明claudin-4 在肾透明细 胞癌组织中的表达显著高于肾正常组织(P<0.01),与免疫组化结果呈显著正相关(r2=0.748,P<0.01);Kaplan-Meier 分析显示 claudin-4 高表达组患者的患者无疾病生存期为20.7 个月,显著低于低表达组的30.8 个月。COX多因素比例风险模型分析显示, claudin-4 的表达不是肾透明细胞癌的独立预后因素(RR值=1.686,95%CI 0.174~16.311,P=0.652)。结论:claudin-4 蛋白表达上 调可能促进肾透明细胞癌的发生和发展,有可能作为肾透明细胞癌潜在的治疗靶点及影响不良预后的指标。
英文摘要:
      Objective:To investigate the expressions of claudin-4 in human clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and its relationship with clinical pathology and prognosis.Methods:The expression of claudin-4 in 50 cases of ccRCC and 10 normal kidney tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining (IHC), analyzing the relationship between the expression level of claudin-4 and clinicopathological variables. Western blot was employed to confirm the expression of claudin-4 in 4 cases of ccRCC and 4 normal kidney tissues. The relationship of claudin-4 expression level and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed to predict the prognosis of ccRCC.Results:The expression level of claudin-4 in ccRCC was significantly higher than that in normal kidney tissues (P<0.05) and was markedly associated with tumor diameters, T stages, clinical stages and lymph node metastasis. The result of Western blot also confirmed that the expression of claudin-4 was much higher in ccRCC than normal kidney tissues (P<0.01), which were positively correlated with the results of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining (r2=0.748, P<0.01). Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that elevated expression of claudin-4 was associated with worse prognosis in ccRCC. Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis indicated that claudin-4 was not an independent prognostic factor for ccRCC patients after surgery(relative risk=1.686, 95%CI:0.174-16.311, P=0. 652).Conclusion:Claudin-4 might play a positive role in carcinogenesis and development of ccRCC, which might become a potential therapeutic target and adverse prognostic factor.
