目的:探讨食管癌变过程中肿瘤抑制基因p53和癌基因c-myc、bcl-2的变化及其与细胞凋亡的关系。方法:采用免疫组化法(ABC)检测279例食管粘膜活检组织中p53、c-myc、bcl-2的表达以及细胞凋亡的变化。结果:从食管正常上皮到基底细胞增生、间变和癌,p53、c-myc、bcl-2免疫阳性表达率及细胞凋亡发生率和细胞凋亡指数(AI)均呈升高趋势,而且在同一阶段病变,p53和c-myc阳性表达时凋亡指数高于其阴性表达,而bcl-2阳性表达时凋亡指数低于其阴性表达。结论:在食管癌变过程中可能有多种肿瘤抑制基因和癌基因参与,细胞凋亡在食管癌变过程中可能有重要的生物学意义。
Objective: To investigate the relationship between tumor suppressor gene p53, oncogene c-myc, bcl-2 and apoptosis in esophageal carcinogenesis. Methods: Immunohistochemical method (ABC) was used to detect the expression of p53, c-myc, bcl-2 and apoptosis in 279 cases of esophageal mucosa biopsy. RESULTS: From esophageal normal epithelium to basal cell hyperplasia, metastasis, and carcinoma, the positive rates of p53, c-myc, bcl-2 immunoreactivity, apoptosis, and apoptosis index (AI) both increased. At the same stage of lesions, the apoptotic index was higher than that of negative expression when p53 and c-myc were positively expressed, while the apoptosis index was lower than that of negative expression when bcl-2 was positively expressed. Conclusion: There may be many tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes involved in the process of esophageal carcinogenesis. Apoptosis may have important biological significance in the process of esophageal carcinogenesis.
