用Northern印迹杂交对15份人肝细胞癌(HCC)、5例癌旁肝硬变和3例正常肝组织标本中整合素α5、β1亚基和纤维连接蛋白(FN)mRNA表达作杂交分析。结果:低分化HCC癌组织中整合素α5、β1亚基和FNmRNA表达水平明显低于高分化HCC及癌旁和正常肝组织(P<0.01);HCC伴肝内浸润和(或)转移组癌组织内3种mRNA水平较无浸润转移组低,差异有显著性意义(P<0.05);5例伴肝内转移的HCC癌组织FNmRNA呈异质性表达(5.0kb位置)。提示:FN及其受体整合素α5、β1基因转录水平的改变与HCC细胞分化、浸润和转移密切相关;异质性FNmRNA及其编码的FN蛋白可能在HCC转移中有意义。
Northern blot hybridization was used to analyze the expression of integrin α5, β1 subunit and fibronectin (FN) mRNA in 15 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 5 paracancerous liver cirrhosis and 3 normal liver tissue samples. Results: The expression levels of integrin α5, β1 subunit and FN mRNA in poorly differentiated HCC cancer tissue were significantly lower than those in well-differentiated HCC and adjacent and normal liver tissues (P<0.01); HCC was associated with intrahepatic infiltration and/or metastasis. The three mRNA levels in the group of cancer tissues were lower than those in the non-invasion and metastasis groups (P<0.05); the heterogeneity of FN mRNA expression in 5 cases of HCC cancer tissues with intrahepatic metastasis (5.0kb) . It is suggested that the transcriptional changes of FN and its receptor integrins α5 and β1 genes are closely related to the differentiation, infiltration and metastasis of HCC cells. Heterogenous FN mRNA and the encoded FN protein may be significant in the metastasis of HCC.
