摘要
目的:研究视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)和正常视网膜组织中EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9和TIMP2表达水平及其临床病理意义和相互联系。方法:收集30例RB眼球摘除手术标本和15例正常视网膜组织标本。常规制作石蜡包埋切片,EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9和TIMP2染色方法均为Envision免疫组织化学法。结果:RB组织中EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9表达阳性率均高于正常视网膜组织(P<0.01),TIMP2则低于正常视网膜组织(P<0.01)。临床分期I期、分化型、未侵犯视神经及生存期≥2aRB病例EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9表达阳性率低于临床分期III期、未分化型、侵犯视神经和生存<2a病例(P<0.05或P<0.01);分化型、未侵犯视神经及生存期≥2aRB病例TIMP2表达阳性率明显高于未分化型、侵犯视神经和生存<2a病例(P<0.05或P<0.01);RB中,EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9表达呈高度一致性(P<0.05),TIMP2与EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9表达水平呈高度不一致性(P<0.05)。结论:EMMPRIN、MMP1、MMP9和TIMP2的表达水平可能是反映RB进展、侵袭能力及预后的重要标记物,它们之间存在着内在的相互调控关系。
AIM: To investigate the expression of EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 and TIMP2 in retinoblastoma (RB) and normal retinal tissues and their clinicopathological significance and interrelationship.
METHODS: Envision immunohistochemistry stainings of EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 and TIMP2 were performed in 30 enucleated eyeballs with retinoblastoma and 15 specimens of normal retina tissue, which had been routinely imbedded with paraffin.
RESULTS: Positive rate of EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 expression was higher in RB tissue than in normal control ( P〈 0.01 ), while TIMP2 expression was lower in RB than in normal retinal tissue (P 〈 0.01). Samples from RB cases of clinical stage I, differentiated type, and life span ≥2 years had lower positive rate in expression of EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 than those from RB cases of clinical stage Ⅲ, undifferentiated type, and life span 〈 2 years (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), while samples from RB cases of differentiated type, optic nerve unaffected, and life span ≥2 years had markedly higher positive rate in expression of TIMP2 than those from RB cases of undifferentiated type, optic nerve involved and life span 〈 2years (P〈0.05 or P〈0.01). In RBtissues, EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 expressions were highly consistent( P〈 0.05), whereas TIMP2 expression is highly inconsistent with EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 expression levels( P 〈 0.05).
CONCLUSION The expression level of EMMPRIN, MMP1, MMP9 and TIMP2 may be an important marker of RB progression, invasion and prognosis. There exist internally mutual regulation relations among them.
