IQGAP1在乳腺癌中的表达及意义

Expression and Significance of IQGAP1 in Breast Cancer

  • 摘要:
      目的  探讨IQGAP1(IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 1)在乳腺癌组织中的表达及意义。
      方法  采用免疫组织化学链霉菌抗生物素蛋白-过氧化物酶(S-P法)染色法检测IQGAP1在乳腺癌组织及癌旁组织各110例中的蛋白表达水平。在正常乳腺上皮细胞系MCF-10A和乳腺癌细胞系MCF-7中开展IQGAP1表达调控实验。
      结果  IQGAP1在乳腺癌组织中的表达高于癌旁正常乳腺组织(P=4.23×10-6)。IQGAP1的表达与浸润性导管癌的肿瘤大小(P=0.006)相关,在肿瘤>2 cm组明显高于肿瘤≤2 cm组。未发现与淋巴结转移(P=0.870),临床分期(P=0.278),ER状态(P=0.412)和PR状态(P=0.248)相关。IQGAP1高表达与乳腺癌术后无病生存时间(P=0.008)和总生存时间(P=0.029)相关。在乳腺癌细胞系MCF-7中,IQGAP1降低导致细胞增殖活性显著下降。
      结论  IQGAP1可能在乳腺癌的发生发展过程中发挥重要作用。

     

    Abstract:
      Objective  To investigate the expression of IQGAP1 in breast cancer tissues and their tumor-adjacent normal tissues and the effect of IQGAP1 on the proliferation of breast cancer cells.
      Methods  A total of 110 breast invasive ductal cancer (IDC) and its adjacent normal tissues specimens were screened for the expression of IQGAP1 with streptavidin-perosidase (S-P) immunohistochemistry. IQGAP1 gene expression was regulated in MCF-7 and MCF-10A cell line.
      Results  The expression of IQGAP1 was higher in breast cancer tissues than in tumor-adjacent normal tissues (P = 4.23×10-6). The expression of IQGAP1 was correlated with tumor size, and was significantly higher in tumor > 2 cm than in tumor ≤ 2 cm (P = 0.006), but was not correlated with lymphnode metastasis (P = 0.870), clinical staging (P = 0.278), expression of estrogen receptor (ER) (P = 0.412) or progestogen receptor (PR) (P = 0.248) in IDC. IQGAP1 high expression was associated with poor progression free time (P = 0.008) and overall survival time (P = 0.029) among breast cancer patients. The proliferation rate of MCF-7 cells was significantly decreased after knocking down IQGAP1 expression.
      Conclusion  IQGAP1 may play important roles in the development of breast cancer.
