摘要: 目的  探讨宫颈癌组织中血管内皮生长因子-C(VEGF-C)及血管内皮生长因子受体-2(KDR)表达与宫颈癌形成及淋巴结转移的关系。方法  选取2010年1月至2013年12月于陕西省宝鸡市妇幼保健院妇科手术切除标本的72例宫颈癌组织及其癌旁组织和36例正常宫颈组织,应用半定量PCR和酶联免疫吸附试验检测VEGF-C及KDR表达情况,并分析这两种蛋白表达与宫颈癌生长及淋巴结转移的关系。结果  72例宫颈癌组织与癌旁组织中VEGF-C的mRNA表达水平分别为4.67±1.05和2.02±0.65,明显高于正常组织的0.36±0.06,差异有统计学意义(t=2.247,P=0.025;t=1.379,P=0.027);VEGF-C蛋白表达水平分别为68.30±17.10和48.20±12.70,明显高于正常组织的18.40±10.70,差异有统计学意义(t=4.357,P=0.016;t=6.337,P=0.012)。宫颈癌组织与癌旁组织中的KDR的mRNA表达水平分别为3.52±0.95和1.92±0.87,明显高于正常宫颈组织的0.72±0.36,差异有统计学意义(t=3.127,P=0.023;t=1.214,P=0.028)。KDR的蛋白表达水平分别为47.20±15.60和38.60±11.30,明显高于正常宫颈组织的16.40±9.40,差异有统计学意义(t=3.667,P=0.020;t=0.986,P=0.032)。72例宫颈癌组织中VEGF-C蛋白表达量与年龄(χ2=0.54,P=0.17)、组织类型(χ2=0.34,P=0.25)、浸润深度(χ2=5.39,P=0.08)、病理分级(χ2=0.78,P=0.11)无关;而与肿瘤大小(χ2=22.34,P=0.02)、临床分期(χ2=32.14,P=0.01)及有无淋巴结转移(χ2=15.58,P=0.03)有关。KDR蛋白表达量与肿瘤大小(χ2=13.78,P=0.04)、组织类型(χ2=32.74,P=0.01)、病理分级(χ2=13.72,P=0.04)、浸润深度(χ2=10.27,P=0.04)、临床分期(χ2=20.25,P=0.02)以及有无淋巴结转移(χ2=19.52,P=0.02)有关,而与年龄(χ2=4.17,P=0.09)无关。结论  VEGFC及KDR表达与宫颈癌的生长、浸润和转移相关,是反映患者淋巴转移的良好指标。

Abstract: Objective  To study the relationship between the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (KDR) in cervical carcinoma and the formation of cervical cancer and lymph node metastasis. Methods  We selected 72 cervical carcinoma tissues, their corresponding adjacent tissues and 36 normal cervical tissues which have been resected in the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Baoji of Shaanxi Province from January 2010 to December 2013. The mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF-C and KDR were examined by semi-quantitative PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in these tissues. The relationships between the expressions of VEGF-C and KDR and the formation of cervical cancer and lymph node metastasis were analyzed. Results  The mRNA levels of VEGF-C in 72 cases of cervical cancer tissues and its corresponding adjacent tissues were 4.67±1.05 and 2.02±0.65, which were significantly higher than those in normal cervical tissues (0.36±0.06), with significant differences (t=2.247, P=0.025; t=1.379, P=0.027). The protein levels of VEGF-C in 72 cases of cervical cancer tissues and their corresponding adjacent tissues were 68.30±17.10 and 48.20±12.70, which were significantly higher than those in normal cervical tissues (18.40±10.70), with significant differences (t=4.357, P=0.016; t=6.337, P=0.012). The mRNA levels of KDR in 72 cases of cervical cancer tissues and their corresponding adjacent tissues were 3.52±0.95 and 1.92±0.87, which were significantly higher than those in normal cervical tissues (0.72±0.36), with significant differences (t=3.127, P=0.023; t=1.214, P=0.028). The protein levels of KDR in 72 cases of cervical cancer tissues and their corresponding adjacent tissues were 47.20±15.60 and 38.60±11.30, which were significantly higher than those in normal cervical tissues (16.40±9.40), with significant differences (t=3.667, P=0.020; t=0.986, P=0.032). The expression level of VEGFC protein in 72 cases of cervical cancer tissues was not correlated with age (χ2=0.54, P=0.17), tissue type (χ2=0.34, P=0.25), depth of invasion (χ2=5.39, P=0.08), pathological grade (χ2=0.78, P=0.11), but was correlated with tumor size (χ2=22.34, P=0.02), clinical stage (χ2=32.14, P=0.01) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=15.58, P=0.03). The expression level of its receptor KDR was correlated with tumor size (χ2=13.78, P=0.04), tissue type (χ2=32.74, P=0.01), pathological grade (χ2=13.72, P=0.04), depth of invasion (χ2=10.27, P=0.04), clinical staging (χ2=20.25, P=0.02) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=19.52, P=0.02), but was not correlated with age (χ2=4.17, P=0.09). Conclusion  The expression levels of VEGFC and KDR are correlated with the growth, invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer, which are good indicators of the lymph node metastasis.
