01 結直腸癌
結直腸癌(colorectal cancer, CRC):胃腸道中常見的惡性腫瘤,包括結腸癌和直腸癌。癌瘤大多數為腺癌,少數為鱗狀上皮癌及粘液癌。結直腸癌的發病率從高到低依次為直腸、乙狀結腸、盲腸、升結腸、降結腸以及橫結腸,近年有向近端(右半結腸)發展的趨勢。其發病與生活方式、遺傳、大腸腺瘤等關系密切。發病年齡趨老年化,男女之比為1.65:1。
02 結直腸癌常用腫瘤標志物
MUC2
MUC2是粘蛋白家族的一員,在小腸、大腸粘膜的杯狀細胞(goblet cells)中表達[5]。MUC2與潰瘍性結腸炎的進展有關,在潰瘍性結腸炎中被下調[6]。MUC2也與結直腸癌的形成有關[5],小鼠MUC2敲除模型顯示,沒有敲除MUC2的小鼠經常發展為侵襲性結直腸腺癌[7]。MUC2還與覆蓋腸、氣道及其他含粘膜器官的上皮細胞有關。其表達降低是不良預后的預測因素,有研究認為應通過MUC2的表達檢測來進行患者分級,以此評估II期和III期結腸癌輔助化療[5]。
Ki-67
Ki-67蛋白是增殖的細胞標志物,與細胞增殖密切相關[8]。其增殖指數是反映細胞增殖的特異性指標,能比較有效地反映細胞的過度增殖情況,與腫瘤分化程度、腫瘤浸潤深度、區域淋巴結轉移、臨床分期及預后有關[9]。
在結直腸癌中,p53也是衡量預后的指標之一。結直腸癌存活率與Ki-67(R=-0.67, p<0.001)和p53(R=-0.64, p<0.001)的表達都呈負相關,Ki-67和p53的過表達都會導致預后不良[10]。 IHC染色定位:主要定位于細胞核。
GPA33
GPA33(A33)基因編碼A33抗原,A33抗原是免疫球蛋白超家族的I型跨膜糖蛋白,在正常結腸和小腸上皮細胞以及95%以上的結腸癌患者中表達,在分化良好的腫瘤中尤其明顯,是一種有效的標志物[11-12]。有研究提議將GPA33抗體用于放療來治療人GPA-33陽性的結直腸癌[13]。
IHC染色定位:在高分化腫瘤和正常組織中,染色通常是膜性的,但在低分化和黏液性腫瘤中,可能主要是細胞質或細胞核。
Villin
絨毛蛋白(Villin)是一種actin結合蛋白,在腸上皮細胞表達,調控結直腸癌的上皮-間質轉化(EMT),也參與上皮細胞微絨毛的維持,在結直腸腺癌中陽性率達93%,癌細胞胞質彌漫強(+)伴刷狀緣著色加重[14]。研究表明,Villin表達缺失是低分化結腸癌的一個特征,尤其是微衛星不穩定(MSI)腫瘤,并與生存率低有關[14]。
IHC染色定位:細胞質。
CK7(KRT7) / CK20(KRT20)
CK7是一種在腸上皮細胞中表達的細胞角蛋白,在包括結腸在內的許多組織中表達,在結腸中其表達僅限于腺細胞。CK20是在結腸直腸隱窩中的上皮細胞中表達的角蛋白,該蛋白的表達水平從隱窩底部(不存在)到頂部逐漸增加,經常被用作結腸中的一種分化標記[15]。
大多數結直腸癌呈CK7完全陰性/CK20胞質彌漫強陽性,約20%呈CK7(+)/CK20(+),因此CK7/CK20組合應用有助于結直腸腺癌的鑒別診斷。CK7和CK20在結直腸癌的表達隨組織學分級和腫瘤部位的不同而不同[16-18]。
雖然大多數腫瘤具有高水平的CK20,但在侵襲性、低分化的結直腸腫瘤和MSI發生率高的結直腸腫瘤中可能呈陰性染色[16, 19]。而在侵襲性強、預后差的BRAF突變的微衛星穩定型結直腸癌中,CK7的表達水平高于其他典型陰性亞型[20]。
IHC染色定位:細胞質。
