摘要:目的
探讨胃癌组织中调宁蛋白1(Calponin 1)、肿瘤泛素异肽酶1(OTUB1)表达与临床病理特征的关系及预后价值。
方法选取98例胃癌患者为研究对象。采用qPCR检测胃癌组织中Calponin 1 mRNA、OTUB1 mRNA的表达; 采用免疫组织化学方法检测Calponin 1、OTUB1的蛋白表达; 绘制Kaplan-Meier曲线比较不同Calponin 1、OTUB1表达的胃癌患者的生存差异; 采用Cox回归模型筛选胃癌预后的影响因素。
结果与癌旁组织比较, 胃癌组织中Calponin 1 mRNA、OTUB1 mRNA表达量较高,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。胃癌组织中Calponin 1、OTUB1蛋白阳性表达率为63.27%、65.31%, 高于癌旁组织的6.12%、8.16%, 差异有统计学意义(P < 0.001)。TNM分期Ⅲ期、有淋巴结转移的胃癌组织中Calponin 1、OTUB1蛋白表达水平升高,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。Calponin 1阳性组3年总生存率为45.16%(28/62), 低于阴性组的83.33%(30/36), 差异有统计学意义(Log-rank χ2=12.990, P < 0.001); OTUB1阳性组3年总生存率为45.31%(29/64), 低于阴性组的85.29%(29/34), 差异有统计学意义(Log-rank χ2=14.880, P < 0.001)。多因素Cox回归结果显示, Calponin 1阳性、OTUB1阳性、TNM分期Ⅲ期、有淋巴结转移是胃癌患者死亡的危险因素(P < 0.001)。
结论胃癌组织中Calponin 1、OTUB1表达上调, 与TNM分期、淋巴结转移有关。
Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the relationships of the expression of Calponin 1 and tumor ubiquitin-specific protease 1 (OTUB1) with clinicopathological features in gastric cancer tissues as well as their prognostic values.
MethodsA total of 98 patients with gastric cancer were enrolled in this study. The qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of Calponin 1 mRNA and OTUB1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues; the immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the protein expression levels of Calponin 1 and OTUB1; the Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to compare the survival differences among gastric cancer patients with different expression levels of Calponin 1 and OTUB1; the Cox regression model was used to screen the influencing factors of prognosis in gastric cancer.
ResultsCompared with adjacent tissues, the expression levels of Calponin 1 mRNA and OTUB1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The positive expression rates of Calponin 1 and OTUB1 protein in gastric cancer tissues were 63.27% and 65.31% respectively, which were significantly higher than 6.12% and 8.16% in adjacent tissues (P < 0.001). The expression levels of Calponin 1 and OTUB1 proteins were increased significantly in gastric cancer tissues of cases with stage Ⅲ of TNM staging and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The 3-year overall survival rate was 45.16% (28/62) in the Calponin 1-positive group, which was significantly lower than 83.33% (30/36) in the Calponin 1-negative group (Log-rank χ2=12.990, P < 0.001). The 3-year overall survival rate was 45.31% (29/64) in the OTUB1-positive group, which was significantly lower than 85.29% (29/34) in the OTUB1-negative group (Log-rank χ2=14.880, P < 0.001). The results of multivariate Cox regression showed that Calponin 1 positivity, OTUB1 positivity, stage Ⅲ of TNM staging, and lymph node metastasis were risk factors for death in gastric cancer patients (P < 0.001).
ConclusionThe expressions of Calponin 1 and OTUB1 are upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and are related to TNM staging and lymph node metastasis.
