环氧化酶2基因异常表达与大肠癌转移的关系

目的 研究环氧化酶2在人大肠癌细胞系及大肠癌组织中的异常表达与意义。方法 培养不同转移能力的人大肠癌细胞系SW480和SW620细胞，收集50例大肠癌石蜡组织，50例淋巴结转移性大肠癌石蜡组织：分别用免疫组织化学、Real-time PCR的方法研究环氧化酶2在不同转移能力人大肠癌细胞系及原发人大肠癌组织和大肠淋巴结转移组织中的表达。结果 环氧化酶2蛋白在SW480和SW620细胞株中均阳性表达；环氧化酶2mRNA在SW620比SW480细胞中表达增高，表达量的平均倍比关系为2．268。环氧化酶2蛋白在淋巴结转移癌组的异常表达高于原发大肠癌石蜡组织，相关性具有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。结论 环氧化酶2异常表达可能与大肠癌淋巴结转移相关。

Association of abnormal cyclooxygenase-2 gene expression with colorectal carcinoma metastasis

Objective To investigate cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression of in colorectal carcinoma cell lines and tissues and its clinical implications. Methods SP immunohistochemistry was used to detect COX-2 protein in SW480 and SW620 cell lines and 50 primary colorectal carcinoma and 50 lymphoma metastasis carcinoma specimens. Real-time PCR was used to detect COX-2 mRNA expression in SW480 and SW620 cell lines. Results SW480 and SW620 cell lines both highly expressed COX-2. The positive expression levels of COX-2 increased significantly in lymph node metastatic carcinoma in comparison with primary colorectal carcinoma (P<0.05). The expression COX-2 mRNA in SW620 cell line was higher than that of SW480 cell line, showing a mean expression increment of 2.268 folds in SW620 cell line relative to SW480. Conclusion Elevated COX-2 expression may be associated with lymph node metastases of colorectal carcinoma.
