摘要: [摘要]目的探讨Wnt/βcatenin通路中Wnt通路抑制因子(Wnt inhibitory factor1,WIF1)、β连环蛋白(βcatenin)和细胞周期蛋白(cyclin D1)在甲状腺乳头状癌(papillary thyroid cancer,PTC)中的表达及意义。方法选取PTC患者60例,留取癌灶组织和癌旁组织标本。检测WIF1、βcatenin和cyclin D1 mRNA和蛋白表达,并分析WIF1 mRNA与βcatenin和cyclin D1 mRNA的相关性。结果PTC组织WIF1 mRNA表达水平和蛋白表达阳性率均显著低于癌旁组织,βcatenin、cyclin D1 mRNA表达水平和蛋白表达阳性率均显著高于癌旁组织(P<005)。PTC淋巴结转移组WIF1 mRNA表达水平和蛋白表达阳性率低于无淋巴结转移组,βcatenin、cyclin D1 mRNA表达水平和蛋白表达阳性率高于无淋巴结转移组(P<005)。不同性别、年龄、肿瘤直径、病灶数目和是否包膜侵犯PTC中WIF1、βcatenin、cyclin D1 mRNA表达水平和蛋白表达阳性率差异无统计学意义(P>005)。WIF1 mRNA与βcatenin和cyclin D1 mRNA表达呈负相关。结论WIF1基因在PTC中表达下调促进了βcatenin蛋白在细胞质中累积,导致靶基因cyclin D1过度激活。WIF1下调和(或)βcatenin、cyclin D1上调在PTC的发生和转移中发挥促进作用。

Abstract: Abstract]  Objective To study expression and significance of Wnt inhibitory factor1(WIF1), βcatenin and chclin D1 in Wnt/βcatenin signal transduction pathway in papillary thyroid cancer(PTC). Methods Sixty cases of PTC were selected and the specimens of cancerous foci and adjacent tissues were taken. The expression of WIF1, βcatenin and cyclin D1 mRNA and protein were detected, and the correlation between WIF1 mRNA and βcatenin, cyclin D1 mRNA was analyzed. ResultsThe expression levels of WIF1 mRNA and positive rates of WIF1 protein expression in PTC tissues were significantly lower than those in paracancerous tissues(P<005), while expression levels of βcatenin, cyclin D1 mRNA and protein in PTC tissues were on the contrary(P<005). And the expression levels of WIF1 mRNA and protein in PTC lymph node metastasis group was lower than those without lymph node metastasis, but the expression levels of βcatenin, cyclin D1 mRNA and protein in PTC lymph node metastasis group were on the contrary(P<005). There were no statistically significant differences in the expression levels of WIF1, βcatenin, cyclin D1 mRNA and positive rates of protein in PTC tissues in different sex, age, tumor diameter, number of lesions and whether or not the capsule was invaded(P>005). Expression levels of βcatenin, cyclin D1 mRNA were negatively correlated with those of WIF1 mRNA(P<005). ConclusionThe down regulation mechanism of WIF1 gene in PTC tissues promoted the accumulation of βcatenin protein in the cytoplasm, which resulted in over activation of target gene cyclin D1. The WIF1 down regulation or βcatenin and cyclin D1 up regulation mechanism may play an auxoaction role in the occurrence and metastasis in PTC.
