[摘要]目的 探讨E-cadherin和Vimentin在肝内胆管癌的表达与临床病理特征和预后关系.方法 采用免疫组化检测E-cadherin和Vimentin在50例肝内胆管癌及其癌旁肝内胆管组织中的表达,并分析与其临床病理特征和预后的关系.结果 在肝内胆管癌中E-cadherin的高表达率(42%)明显低于癌旁肝内胆管(68%),肝内胆管癌中Vimentin高表达率(50%)明显高于与癌旁肝内胆管(30%),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).肝内胆管癌中E-cadherin的表达下降和Vimentin的表达上升均与TNM分期、肿瘤的分化、淋巴结转移及不良预后相关(P<0.05).结论 肝内胆管癌E-cadherin降低和Vimentin增加,与侵袭、转移以及不良预后密切相关,对判断病人预后有指导意义. |

[Abstract]Objective To discuss the relationship between the expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin and pathological characteristics in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC). Methods The expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin was detected by immunohistochemistry in ICC and para-carcinoma intrahepatic bile duct(n=50).The correlation between the expression of tumor tissues and the clinicopathological characteristics of ICC was analyzed, and their prognostic implication was evaluated. Results The expression of E-cadherin was significantly lower in ICC than in matched as the upper mentioned tissues (42%vs68%,P<0.05).The expression of Vimentin was significantly higher in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) than matched as the upper mentioned tissues(50%vs30%,P<0.05). Down-regulation of E-cadherin and up-regulation of Vimentin were significantly associated with TNM stage,differentiation,lymph node metastasis of ICC (P< 0.05).For the survival analyses,low E-cadherin expression and positive Vimentin expression were significantly associated with shorter survival(P<0.05).Conclusion Low expression of E-cadherin and high expression of Vimentin in the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)are correlated with the invasion, migration and poor prognosis, and have clinical significance in judging the prognosis of patients. |
