摘要 目的:探讨EpCAM、Vimentin和N-Cadherin在三阴型乳腺癌(TNBC)中表达的临床病理及预后意义。方法:采用免疫组化MaxVisionTM法检测161 例TNBC中EpCAM、Vimentin和N-Cadherin表达,分析其与临床病理特征和预后的关系。结果: EpCAM、Vimentin及N-Cadherin在161 例TNBC中的表达率分别为62.1 %、20.5 %、17.4 %。EpCAM表达与Vimentin、N-Cadherin均具有正相关性。EpCAM和Vimentin蛋白阳性率均随着肿瘤体积增大、淋巴结阳性、TNM分期增高而增高(均为P<0.05);N-Cadherin表达率随着TNM分期增高而增高(P=0.000)。Log-rank检验和单因素分析显示,EpCAM、Vimentin和N-Cadherin阳性的患者预后较差(均为P<0.001)。多因素COX分析显示,当仅经临床分期、肿瘤大小和淋巴结转移校正时,EpCAM是独立的预后因子(P=0.026),但纳入Vimentin和N-Cadherin后,EpCAM则不是独立的预后因子(P>0.05)。结论:EpCAM在TNBC中与其临床病理特征和预后相关,并与EMT关系密切,EpCAM与EMT可能参与TNBC的发生发展过程。 |

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of EpCAM,Vimentin and N-Cadherin expression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: The expressions of EpCAM, Vimentin and N-Cadherin in 161 cases of TNBC were detected by immunohistochemical MaxVisionTM method, and the relationship between their expressions and the clinical pathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results: The expression rates of EpCAM, Vimentin and N-Cadherin in 161 cases of TNBC were 62.1%, 20.5% and 17.4%, respectively. The expression of Vimentin was positively correlated with N-Cadherin and EpCAM. The positive rates of EpCAM and Vimentin increased with tumor size, lymph node positive and TNM stage (P < 0.05), and N-Cadherin expression increased with TNM stage (P=0.000). Log-rank test and univariate analysis showed that the expressions of EpCAM, Vimentin and N-Cadherin were associated with a significantly worse overall survival (P<0.001). In multivariate COX analysis, after adjusting for TNM stage, tumor size and lymph node metastasis, EpCAM was an independent prognostic factor (P=0.026), but it had no independent prognostic significance after adjusting for Vimentin and N-Cadherin further. Conclusion: EpCAM is associated with clinical- pathological features and prognosis in TNBC, and is closely related to EMT, EMT and EpCAM may be involved in the development of TNBC. |
