METHODS: One hundred ESCC specimens from January 2000 to December 2004 in our hospital were selected. For each specimen, the cancerous tissue and its remote normal mucosa were analyzed and compared. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of TGF-β1, E-cadherin and Vimentin proteins. RESULTS: The expression rate of TGF-β1 protein was significantly higher in ESCC tissues than in normal tissues (85% vs 27%, P < 0.01), and the expression rate of TGF-β1 protein in deeply infiltrating group was significantly higher than that in superficially infiltrating group(91% vs 75%, P < 0.05); the expression rate of E-cadherin protein was significantly lower in ESCC tissues than in normal tissues (43% vs 85%, P < 0.01); the expression rate of Vimentin protein was higher in ESCC tissues than in normal tissues (23% vs 0%, P < 0.05). In esophageal carcinoma, the expression of TGF-β1 was negatively correlated to that of E-cadherin (Tb = -0.257, P = 0.013), but positively correlated to that of Vimentin protein (Tb = 0.163, P = 0.030); in addition, the expression of E-cadherin was negatively correlated to that of Vimentin protein (Tb = -0.379, P = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-β1 may be present in ESCC, and is possibly related to ESCC infiltration and metastasis.

背景资料 食管癌是死亡率很高的恶性肿瘤之一, 尤其在我国河南省更常见. 目前已知肿瘤的浸润转移是导致恶性肿瘤患者死亡的主要原因, 因此研究肿瘤的浸润转移机制, 对于降低肿瘤患者的死亡率至关重要. 同行评议者 王健生, 副教授, 西安交通大学医学院第一附属医院肿瘤外科 研发前沿 肿瘤的浸润转移是一复杂过程, 目前EMT在肿瘤浸润转移中的作用逐渐引起人们的关注. 已有研究发现TGF-β1在诱发EMT中起关键作用. TGF-β1引发的EMT及其促肿瘤浸润转移的机制是目前研究的热点. 相关报道 Zavadil et al的实验证明TGF-β能够诱导培养基中正常细胞和转化细胞形态的改变以及EMT特征的出现; Han et al报道TGF-β1诱导皮肤鳞癌细胞发生EMT, 形成梭形细胞癌, 提示TGF-β1表达上调会开启EMT, 并导致肿瘤的浸润及转移. 创新盘点 截至目前, 有关EMT在食管鳞癌浸润转移中的研究鲜见报道, 探讨食管鳞癌的EMT, 有助于阐明食管鳞癌的浸润转移机制, 并为食管鳞癌的治疗打开一个新的思路. 应用要点 本文研究结果表明食管鳞癌组织中TGF-β1的过表达与EMT有关, 发生了EMT的食管鳞癌细胞运动能力及侵袭转移能力增强. TGF-β1可能通过对上皮性标志物E-cadherin和间质性标志物Vimentin的调控在食管鳞癌EMT及浸润转移中起关键作用, 这对食管鳞癌发病机制的阐明和治疗具有一定的价值. 名词解释 上皮间质转化: 上皮细胞在与周围间质的相互作用过程中逐渐获得了某些间质细胞所特有的性状的现象. 最早被发育生物学家用来描述在胚胎发育过程中某些特定部位的上皮细胞所发生的形态学改变.
