摘要: 目的探讨LONP1基因在肝细胞癌(HCC)组织中的表达情况及临床意义。方法选取由上海芯超生物有限公司提供的在2010年1月-2011年9月病理确诊为HCC的患者90例,根据LONP1蛋白在HCC癌组织中阳性表达程度,分为弱阳性组(n=33)、阳性组(n=24)、强阳性组(n=33)。用免疫组化的方法检测LONP1在癌及癌旁组织中的表达情况,并分析与HCC临床病理特征的关系。计数资料组间比较采用χ2检验或Fisher确切概率法。生存分析采用Kaplan-Meier方法及log-rank检验,影响因素分析采用Cox比例风险回归模型。结果 LONP1蛋白在HCC癌组织中的阳性表达率显著高于癌旁组织(100%vs 8. 9%,χ2=152. 308,P <0. 001)。LONP1蛋白的表达与肿瘤有无包膜、有无合并肝硬化、临床分期和病理分级有关(P值均<0. 05)。弱阳性组中位生存期40. 545个月,阳性组28. 545个月,强阳性组19. 428个月,差异有统计学意义(χ2=32. 058,P <0. 0...Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of the LONP1 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma( HCC).Methods A total of 90 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC from January 2010 to September 2011 were enrolled,and the microarrays for their HCC tissue and adjacent tissue samples were provided by Shanghai Xinchao Biological Co.,Ltd. According to the level of positive expression of LONP1 in HCC tissue,the patients were divided into weak positive group with 33 patients,positive group with 24 patients,and strong positive group with 33 patients. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of LONP1 in HCC and adjacent tissue samples,and its association with the clinicopathological features of HCC was analyzed. The chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used for survival analysis,and the Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to investigate risk factors. Results The positive expression rate of LONP1 protein in HCC tissue was significantly higher than that in the adjacent tissue( 100% vs 8. 9%,χ2= 152. 308,P < 0. 001). The expression of LONP1 protein was associated with presence or absence of tumor capsule,presence or absence of liver cirrhosis,clinical stage,and pathological grade( all P < 0. 05). There was a significant difference in median survival time between the weak positive group,the positive group,and the strong positive group( 40. 545 months vs 28. 545 months vs 19. 428 months,χ2= 32. 058,P < 0. 001). In HCC patients,median survival time was correlated with the expression of LONP1 protein,pathological grade,and clinical stage( all P < 0. 05). The multivariate Cox analysis showed that with the weak positive expression of LONP1 protein as a reference,positive expression of LONP1 protein( hazard ratio [HR]= 0. 109,95% confidence interval [CI]: 0. 034-0. 349,P < 0. 001) and strong positive expression of LONP1 protein( HR =0. 448,95% CI: 0. 219-0. 918,P = 0. 028) were independent influencing factors for the survival of HCC patients. Conclusion The expression level of LONP1 in HCC tissue is significantly higher than that in adjacent tissue,and the patients with high expression of LONP1 have a significantly shorter survival time than those with low expression.
