摘要目的 检测胰腺癌组织中甲基转移酶3B(DNMT3B)基因表达,分析其与胰腺癌临床病理参数的关系.方法 应用实时定量PCR和免疫组织化学方法检测42例胰腺癌组织及相应癌旁组织、10例正常胰腺组织中DNMT3B mRNA和蛋白表达.结果 胰腺癌组织、癌旁组织和正常胰腺组织DNM33B mRNA表达量分别为9.4±5.9、1.02±0.71和0,相差非常显著(P<0.05);DNMT3B蛋白表达阳性率分别为83.3%、14.3%和10.0%,相差也非常显著(P<0.01).DNMT3B mRNA表达与I临床分期、肿瘤分化程度和淋巴结转移密切相关(P<0.05或P<0.01);DNMT3B蛋白表达与肿瘤的部位、淋巴结转移有关(P<0.01或P<0.05);DNMT3B mRNA和蛋白表达均与年龄、性别、神经浸润、肿瘤大小、血CEA和CA19-9浓度无关.结论 胰腺癌DNMT3B mRNA和蛋白高表达提示胰腺癌已发生淋巴结转移,预后较差.

abstractsObjective To investigate the expression of DNA-methyltransferases 3B(DNMT3B)gene in human pancreatic carcinoma and to evaluate its relationship with elinicopathologic parameters.Methods 42 samples of pancreatic carcinoma tissues and 42 para-carcinoma tissues and 10 normal pancreatic tissues were collected and the expression of DNMT3B mRNA and protein Was detected by real.time PCR and immunohistochemistry techniques.Results The expression of DNMT3B mRNA(RQ level)in human pancreatic carcinoma tissues and para-carcinoma tissues,normal pancreatic tissues was 9.4±5.9,1.02±0.71 and 0,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The rate of expression of DNMT3B protein in human pancreatic carcinoma tissues,para-carcinoma tissues and normal pancreatic tissues were 83.3%,14.3%and 10%,respectively,and the difference wag also statistically significant(P<0.01).The expression of DNMT3B mRNA correlated significantly with clinical staging,differentiation degree of the tumor and lymph node metastasis(P<0.01 or P<0.05).The expression of DNMT3B protein correlated significantly with the location ofthe tumor and lymph node metastasis(P<0.01 or P<0.05).The expression of DNMT3B mRNA and protein Was not assecimed with age,sex,neural invasion,tumor size,sernm CEA and CA19-9.Conclusions Highly expressed DNMT3B mRNA and protein may indicate the lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis in human pancreatic carcinoma.
