摘要
背景与目的:
     Ezrin属于ERM(Ezrin-Radixin-Moesin)家族成员之一,其编码基因为villin2,定位于染色体6q25-q26,ERM蛋白的C末端与细胞骨架的actin相连,N末端通过与细胞表面的粘附分子Cadherin、CD44等相连接,调节细胞-细胞,细胞-间质粘附性而影响恶性肿瘤细胞侵袭性等生物学行为。Ezrin首先于1981年被发现于鸡的肠上皮细胞的微绒毛,它主要集中于富含肌动蛋白的细胞微绒毛和细胞膜的皱襞中,并参与上皮细胞的膜动力学。Ezrin几乎存在于任何细胞,但在小肠、胃、肺、胰腺和肾组织中有较高的表达水平,在脾脏、胸腺淋巴结和骨髓中的表达水平中等,而在心脏、睾丸和肌肉中的水平较低。在生理状态下,Ezrin参与细胞表面结构如伪足、微绒毛等的形成,并参与细胞间及细胞与基质之间的粘附,信号传导和细胞运动。近年来的研究发现Ezrin在肿瘤发生、浸润和转移中也起到重要作用,Ezrin参与细胞的移动、信号传导以及细胞粘附等与肿瘤进展相关的环节。
     CD44分子基因定位于染色体11p13,有至少19-20个高度保守的外显子构成。CD44v6是主要的变体之一。CD44v6是一种细胞表面跨膜糖蛋白,分布极广,在许多上皮细胞和间质细胞长均有分布。作为细胞基质透明质酸受体,参与癌细胞与基质的粘附作用及淋巴细胞归巢,它们可以改变肿瘤细胞表面粘附分子的构成和功能,有利于癌细胞的扩散和转移。近来研究表明,CD44v6过量表达与多种人体恶性肿瘤的发生、发展、侵袭和转移密切相关,肺癌、乳腺癌和大肠癌等肿瘤中均出现CD44v6的高表达。
     细胞骨架蛋白Ezrin及细胞粘附分子CD44v6在肿瘤的发生及转移中的作用已为许多研究者探索,但两者在胃癌中的表达及临床分析结果并不统一,两者在胃癌中表达的相关性研究未见报道。而本研究旨在通过检测Ezrin、CD44v6在胃癌中的表达情况,比较分析它们与胃癌转移之间的相关性,以及两者联合检测的可能性,为胃癌转移、预后判断及临床治疗提供新的依据。
     方法:
     1标本来源
     本研究病例资料取自南京军区南京总医院2005年-2006年病理科存档的胃癌手术石蜡包埋标本,共53例,另取正常胃组织20例。
     2试剂与方法
     采用免疫组化方法进行检测。所有标本均经10%福尔马林固定,常规石蜡包埋,4μm厚连续切片,免疫组化Envision染色。将制好的组织切片,经二甲苯脱蜡,梯度乙醇脱水后性免疫组化染色。采用高压锅高温抗原修复后,余步骤按试剂盒说明书进行操作。DAB显色,苏木精复染,中性树胶封固。Ezrin鼠抗人单克隆抗体(稀释度为1:200)(克隆号3c12)购自NeoMarkers公司,CD44v6鼠抗人单克隆抗体(稀释度为1:200)购于福州迈新生物技术开发公司。
     3结果判断
     Ezrin在胞质内表达呈棕黄色颗粒,按染色强度和阳性细胞表达细胞数,参考Mathew等分级标准:(-):无表达;(+):<50%细胞阳性表达或染色较浅;(++):≥50%阳性表达或染色较深。
     CD44v6以细胞膜有明确棕黄色为阳性细胞,采用半定量积分法,即根据每张切片的阳性细胞比例及着色深浅计分,着色细胞比例在1/3以下为1分,2/3以上为3分,两者之间为2分;着色程度,无着色0分,浅黄色1分,橘黄色2分,棕褐色3分。根据两者乘积判断等级,0分为(-),1~4分为(+),大于4分为(++)。
     4统计学方法
     采用SPSS11.0统计软件进行统计分析,采用x~2检验及Spearsman相关分析,P<0.05认为有显著性统计学意义。
     结果:
     1.Ezrin在胞质中呈棕色颗粒,在肿瘤组织中呈局部或灶性至弥漫性分布,在正常胃粘膜中也有染色,呈弥漫分布。53例胃癌标本中Ezrin阳性30例,阳性表达率为56.6%,20例正常胃粘膜中Ezrin阳性6例,阳性率30%,经x~2检验两组之间差异有显著性,(P<0.01)。
     CD44v6染色阳性细胞的胞膜和胞质可见深浅不一,染色强度不等的棕黄色颗粒,弥漫或散在分布,在正常胃粘膜中不染色。53例胃癌标本中CD44v6阳性31例,阳性率为58.5%。
     2.Ezrin的表达程度与胃癌的分化程度有关(P<0.05),与临床分期、淋巴结转移及远处转移显著相关(P<0.01)。CD44v6的表达程度与胃癌的分化程度无关(P>0.05),与临床分期、淋巴结转移及远处转移显著相关(P<0.01)。
     3.胃癌组织中Ezrin及CD44v6的表达之间呈显著正相关(r_s=0.740,P<0.01)。
     结论:
     胃癌组织中Ezrin及CD44v6的高表达与胃癌的临床分期、淋巴结转移及远处转移有关,提示Ezrin和CD44v6与胃癌的进展有关,尤其是在胃癌的转移过程中发挥着重要作用,因此Ezrin和CD44v6的联合检测有望成为胃癌诊断及预后判断的有效指标。
Objective:
     The Ezrin protein is a member of the Ezrin,Radixin,Moesin(ERM) proteins family that are proposed to act as linkers between the cytoskeleton and plasma membrane.Ezrin is a cytoplasmic protein enriched in microvilli and other cell surface structures.It resides on chromosome 6q25-q26.Its NH2-terminal domain is associated with the plasma membrane and the COOH-terminal domain with the cytoskeleton.Ezrin regulates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions playing a role in the regulation of cellular adhesion,movement and morphology in epithelia.Ezrin serves as a tyrosine kinase substrate,and is phosphorylated in epidermal growth factor-stimulated cells.Ezrin is highly expressed in several types of human cancers.
     The CD44 gene resides on chromosome 11p13,and is known to be composed of at least 19-20 exons.As the main variant of CD44,CD44v6 is a kind of cell-surface adhesion molecule,which is important in cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion.It could increase the metastatic potential of a tumor by facilitating the expansion of malignant cells into the draining lymph nodes.Recent studies have discovered that over expression of CD44v6 plays an important role in the growth,invasion,and metastasis of several kind of tumors such as colon cancer,breast cancer,and lung cancer..
     Even though it was shown that Ezrin and CD44v6 are essential for the carcinogenesis,progression and metastasis of several types of cancers,their expressions in gastric carcinoma were not analyzed so far,especially their correlations.This study was initiated to define the relationship between the expression of Ezrin and CD44v6 in gastric carcinoma and clinicopathological parameters.
     Methods:
     The study population consisted of 53 patients(31 men and 22 women,average 55.4,ranged from 28 to 82 years),diagnosed with gastric carcinoma and 20 with normal gastric mucosa in the Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command,between 2005 and 2006.Tissue specimens were taken from operation,and all these specimens were fixed with 10%formalin and embedded in paraffin,and cut into 4μm serial sections.Standard Envision immunohistochemistry was performed using a mouse monoclonal antibody against Ezrin and CD44v6(Maxim IHC World,Fuzhou) at a dilution of 1:200.
     The intensity of Ezrin staining was scored as the percentage of positive tumor cells in relation to the total number cells according to Mathew's scale.(-):no staining; (+):<50%cells staining;(++):≥50%cells staining.
     Membrane staining for CD44v6 was calculated as the percentage of positive tumor cells in relation to the total number cells using semiquantitative scale as follows:0=no staining;1=staining of 1-20%of cells;2=staining of 21-50%of cells; and 3=staining of 51-100%of cells.Staining intensity was scored as absent(-);weak/moderate(+);and intense(++).
     All statistical analyses were carried out using SPSSv.11.Categorical variables were expressed in percentages and compared using x~2 test.The correlation between Ezrin and CD44v6 was compared using Spearsman's correlation analyse.Statistical significance was accepted at P<0.05.
     Results.
     1、The positive expression rates of Ezrin in gastric carcinoma and normal gastric mucosa were 56.6%and 30%.While the positive expression rates of CD44v6 in gastric carcinoma was 58.5%and no expression in normal gastric mucosa.
     2、The expression of Ezrin was correlated to differentiation(P<0.05),and clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and metastasis in the distance(P<0.01).The expression of CD44v6 was correlated to clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and metastasis in the distance(P<0.01),but not to differentiation(P>0.05).
     3、The expression of Ezrin was positively correlated with that of CD44v6 in gastric carcinoma(r_s=0.740,P<0.01).
     Conclusion:
     The high expression of Ezrin and CD44v6 were correlated to the clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and metastasis in the distance.They might be served as an important parameter for determining tumor biological behavior.It is useful to forecast metastasis and prognosis of gastric carcinoma by combined examine.
