RAR-β2 基因在乳腺肿瘤组织中的表达及意义*

The Expression and Significance of RAR-β2 Gene in Breast Tumor

  • 摘要: 目的:检测视黄酸受体β 2(RAR-β 2)基因在不同乳腺肿瘤组织中的表达,探讨RAR-β 2 基因与乳腺肿瘤的关系,分析其在乳腺癌发生、发展中的作用。方法:免疫组织化学法检测乳腺浸润性癌、导管上皮重度不典型增生、腺纤维瘤各40例及20例正常乳腺组织中RAR-β 2 的表达情况。RT-PCR 法检测乳腺浸润性癌、导管上皮重度不典型增生、腺纤维瘤及正常乳腺组织各20例RAR-β 2 的表达水平。结果:免疫组化结果显示,RAR-β 2 阳性表达主要位于细胞核,RAR-β 2 蛋白在乳腺浸润癌组织中阳性表达率(30.0%)明显低于正常乳腺组织(95.0%),χ2=26.30,P<0.05。RAR-β 2 蛋白在乳腺重度不典型增生组织中阳性表达率(17.5%)低于乳腺癌组织,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。 在乳腺浸润性癌组织中,RAR-β 2 表达与患者年龄、肿瘤大小、临床分期、腋下淋巴结转移状况、组织学分级、病理学类型以及ER、PR表达状况无相关性(P 均>0.05)。 随访结果显示,28例RAR-β 2 阴性乳腺癌患者中3 例发生内脏转移,而12例RAR-β 2 阳性患者仅1 例发生骨转移。RT-PCR 结果显示,RAR-β 2 在乳腺癌、导管上皮重度不典型增生、腺纤维瘤及正常乳腺组织中阳性表达率分别为25.0%(5/20)、35.0%(7/20)、85.0%(17/20)和100%(20/20),乳腺癌组织RAR-β 2 mRNA 明显低于正常乳腺组织(χ2=30.43,P<0.001)。 结论:RAR-β 2 可能在乳腺癌的发生过程中发挥抑制作用,并且可能在乳腺癌发生的早期发挥作用。

     

    Abstract: Objective:To assess the expression of retinoic acid receptor beta 2 (RAR-β2) in breast tumor and to evaluate the relationship between RAR-β 2 expression and tumorigenesis of breast cancer.Methods: Immu -nohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of RAR-β 2 protein in specimens from 40cases of breast cancer,40cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia, 40cases of fibroadenoma and 20cases of normal breast tissues. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of RAR-β 2 gene in 20cases of breast cancer, 20cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia,20cases of fibroadenoma, and 20cases of normal breast tissues. Results:Immunohistochemical staining results revealed that the positive expression of RAR-β 2 protein showed nuclear staining. The positive expression rate of RAR-β 2 was 30% (12/40) in breast cancer, 17.5% (7/40) in atypical ductal hyperplasia, 87.5% (35/40) in fibroadenoma, and 95% (19/20) in normal breast tissues. The expression of RAR-β 2 protein in breast cancer was significantly lower than that in normal breast tissues (χ2=26.30, P<0.001 ). The expression of RAR-β 2 was not significantly different between atypical ductal hyperplasia and breast cancer ( P>0.05). No correlation was found between the expression of RAR-β2 protein and the tumor size, menopausal age, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, histological grade, or protein expression of ER and PR in breast cancer tissues ( P>0.05). Follow-up results showed that 3 out of 28patients with negative RAR-β 2 expression had visceral organ metastasis, but only one of the 12RAR-β 2 positive patients had osseous metastasis. RT-PCR analysis showed that the positive expression rate of RAR-β 2 mRNA in breast cancer, atypical ductal hyperplasia, fibroadenoma and normal breast tissues was 25% (5/20), 35% (7/20), 85% (17/20) and 100 % (20/20), respectively. The RAR-β2 mRNA expression rate in breast cancer was significantly lower than that in normal breast tissues ( χ2=30.43, P<0.001 ). No significant difference in RAR-β2 mRNA expression was found between atypical ductal hyperplasia and breast cancer tissues ( P>0.05). Conclusion: RAR-β2 gene may play a repressive role in the initiation of breast cancer, and the loss of the expression of RAR-β2 gene may be the initial step in breast carcinogenesis.
