目的:研究基质金属蛋白酶-2(Matrix metalloproteinase-2, MMP-2)、基质金属蛋白酶-9(Matrix metalloproteinase-9, MMP-9)和血管内皮生长因子(Vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF)在视网膜母细胞瘤(Retinoblastoma, RB)中的表达及其与 RB 分化程度和视神经浸润的关系,探讨它们在 RB 浸润、转移过程中的作用和临床意义。
方法:采用免疫组化方法检测 40 例 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的表达。
结果:40 例 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的阳性表达率分别为 52.5%、57.5% 和 72.5%。未分化型 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的阳性表达均高于分化型(P < 0.05);有视神经浸润的 RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的阳性水平均高于无视神经浸润的 RB(P < 0.05)。RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的表达呈正相关关系(P < 0.05)。
结论:RB 中 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 高表达与 RB 的浸润和转移相关,且 MMP-2、MMP-9 表达与 VEGF 表达存在相关性。联合检测 MMP-2、MMP-9 和 VEGF 的表达可作为反映 RB 浸润、转移潜能的生物学指标,有助于筛选转移高危病例及评价患者预后。
Purpose: To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinoblastoma (RB) and its relationship with the differentiation and optic nerve infiltration of RB. And to investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and VEGF in the infiltration and metastasis of RB and their clinical significance.
Methods: Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF in 40 RB cases.
Results: The MMP-2, MMP-9 protein and VEGF protein expression were detected as positive in 52.5%, 57.5% and 72.5% of 40 RB cases respectively. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF was significantly higher in the undifferentiated pattern than in the rosetted pattern (p < 0.05); and the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF was significantly higher in tumors with optic nerve invasion than in those without optic nerve invasion (p < 0.05). In RB, the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 had a positive correlation with the expression of VEGF.
Conclusions: In RB, high expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF is related to the invasion and metastasis of RB. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 is positively correlated with the expression of VEGF. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF may act as a biological marker for the invasion and metastasis of RB. The method may help screen and identify the cases with high risk for metastasis and to predict the prognosis of patients.
目的:研究增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变患者玻璃体基质细胞衍生因子(Strmalcell-derivedfactor-1, SDF-1)和血管内皮生长因子(Vascular endothelial growth factor, VECF)的浓度,及其相互作用关系。方法:酶联免疫吸附法(Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA)检测玻璃体内 SDF-1 和 VEGF 的含量,每个标本重复3次。实验组为增性糖尿病视网膜病变(Proliferalive diabeticretinopathy, PDR)的住院患者30例,对照组为同期行玻璃体切除术的特发性黄斑裂孔患者12例。结果: PDR 患者玻璃体 VECF 的平均浓度为(2865.87+387.85) pg/ml,明显高于特发性黄斑裂孔组[(142.42+21.03) pg/ml,P < 0.0001]。增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变患者玻璃体 SDF-1的含量平均为(298.40+24.57) pg/ml,对照组为(86.91+15.89) pg/ml,两组的差异具有统计学意义(P < 0.0001)。在30例PDR患者玻璃体内 VEGF 和 SDF-1 的含量表现为正相关(Peanson相关系数 r=0.62,P < 0.001)。结论:增殖性糖尿病患者玻璃体 SDF-1 和 VECF 的含量均高于非糖尿病患者,提示 SDF-1 和 VEGF 共同参与了增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变患者病理性新生血管的形成过程。
Purpose: To investigate the levels of stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1) andvascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the vitreous of patients with proliferativediabetic retinopathy.
Methods: The levels of $DF-1 and VEGF in the vitreous of 30 eyes of 30 patients withproliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)and 12 eyes of 12 patients with idiopathicmacular hole (MH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Vitreousfluid samples were obtained by vitrectomy.
Resuls: The vitreous concentration of VEGF was signifcantly higher in eyes with PDR(2 865.87+387.85 pg/ml) than in eyes with idiopathic macular hole (142.42+21.03 Pgml, P< 0.000 1). The vitreous level of SDF-1 was also significantly higher in eyes withPDR (298.40+24.57 pg/ml ) than in eyes with idiopathic macular hole (86.91+15.89Pg/ml, P<0.000 1 ). The vitreous concentration of SDF-1 correlated significantly with that of VEGF in eyes with PDR( [correlation coefficient]r=0.62,P<0 .001)
Conclution: Vitreous levels of both SDF-1 and VEGF in patients with PDR aresignificantly higher than those of nondiabetic patients. SDF-1 may be correlated withVEGF in angiogenesis in PDR.
