摘要
目的 探讨提高大肠癌淋巴结微转移诊断率的敏感方法。方法 用逆转录聚合酶链式反应 (RT -PCR)检测基质金属蛋白酶 - 7(MMP - 7)mRNA在 38例大肠癌和 2 5个淋巴结中的表达 ,对部分淋巴结再次行组织学检查。结果 97 4% (37/ 38)的大肠癌中MMP - 7mRNA表达阳性 ,而正常粘膜几乎不表达。传统组织学检查发现癌转移的 13个淋巴结MMP - 7mRNA表达均为阳性 ;未见转移的 12个淋巴结MMP - 7mRNA表达6个阴性、6个阳性 ,再次行组织学检查于 6个MMP - 7阳性者中发现 3个有微转移。结论 RT -PCR方法检测淋巴结中MMP - 7mRNA的表达是诊断大肠癌淋巴结微转移的敏感方法 ,可以作为传统组织学检查的补充。
Objective\ To investigate a sensitive method for detecting lymph node micrometastases in colorectal carcinoma.Methods\ RT-PCR technique was used to examine the expression of MMP-7 mRNA in colorectal carcinomas and lymph nodes.Histological re-examination was performed on some of the lymph nodes.Results\ MMP-7 mRNA was observed in 97 4%(37/38) colorectal carcinomas,while it was undetectable in almost all the normal mucosas.All 13 histologically-positive lymph nodes were positive for MMP-7,while of 12 histologically-negative lymph nodes,6 were positive and the other 6 were negative.When histological re-examination was performed on histologically-negative lymph nodes,micrometastases were detected in 3“MMP-7 positive”lymph nodes.Conclusion\ RT-PCR assay for MMP-7 mRNA is a sensitive method for detecting lymph node micrometastases in patients with colorectal carcinoma,and may complement conventional histopathology.
