Abstract

BACKGROUND: Tumor suppressor in lung cancer-1 (TSLC1) belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecule and differentially expressed in adenocarcinoma of the lung (4.1B)belongs to NF2/ERM/4.1 protein superfamily. They may suppress carcinogenesis via construction of the adjacent cell adhesion stability. The aim of this study is to detect the expressions of TSLC1 and 4.1B in non-small cell lung cancer and the clinical pathological significances.
METHODS: The expressions of TSLC1 and 4.1B were detected by RT-PCR in 52 cases of non-small cell lung cancer and corresponding adjacent cancer lung tissues
RESULTS: The expressions of TSLC1 and 4.1B in cancer tissues were significantly lower than that in adjacent cancer lung tissues (0.349 ± 0.008 vs 0.555 ± 0.010; 0.209 ± 0.040 vs 0.721 ± 0.071) (P < 0.01). The expressions of TSLC1 and 4.1B showed a significant correlation with cancer differentiation and TNM staging (P < 0.05), but not with gender, age and pathological type (P > 0.05). The expressions of TSLC1 and 4.1B were positively correlated (r=0.471, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Down-regulated expressions of TSLC1 and 4.1B in non-small cell lung cancer, both may participate in a cascade of non-small cell lung cancer occurrence and development. TSLC1 and 4.1B are promising targets for non-small cell lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.

非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)占肺癌的80%左右,肺癌的发生是多步骤、多阶段、多基因相互作用的结果,涉及多种癌基因的激活与抑癌基因的失活,其中抑癌基因的失活在近几年的研究中越来越受到重视[。肺癌肿瘤抑制物1(tumor suppressor in lung cancer-1, TSLC1)是Murakami[通过功能互补方法发现的一个肿瘤抑癌基因,该基因的突变与失活与人类多种肿瘤密切相关。肺腺癌差异表达基因(differentially expressed in adenocarcinoma of the lung, 4.1B)蛋白主要定位于细胞-细胞联结处,呈蜂窝状分布。研究[表明在脑膜瘤、乳腺癌、肾透明细胞癌和结肠癌等肿瘤组织中4.1B无论是RNA还是蛋白均出现表达下调或缺失现象。目前对上述两种基因的研究多集中于蛋白水平,且两者在NSCLC中表达的相关性国内报道尚少。本研究应用RT-PCR的方法从基因水平上检测TSLC14.1BNSCLC中的表达,并分析两者的相关性及其与患者临床病理特征的关系,旨在为NSCLC的临床诊断、预测转移和分子治疗提供理论基础。

讨论

TSLC1全长大约300 kb,定位于人类染色体11q23.2上,含10个外显子。翻译产物为含有442个氨基酸残基的跨膜糖蛋白。TSLC1属于细胞粘附分子中免疫球蛋白超家族成员编码细胞粘附分子(cell adhesion molecule, CAM),该分子是参与细胞与细胞之间相互作用的一种膜蛋白,除外周血淋巴细胞外人体绝大部分正常组织均表达TSLC1分子,它通过介导同种或异种细胞之间的相互粘附,在抑制恶性肿瘤的发生中起重要作用[。目前的研究[发现TSLC1的表达缺失或减少参与多种肿瘤的发生发展,包括乳腺癌、食管癌和宫颈癌。临床病理学研究分析显示TSLC1的失活在肿瘤晚期发生更频繁。Yang等[用免疫组化法发现TSLC1的表达与肿瘤分期、淋巴结受累、淋巴管渗透以及血管入侵呈负相关。因此我们推测TSLC1可能与肿瘤的生物学行为,包括侵袭和转移有关。本研究显示:TSLC1的表达与NSCLC的分化程度、TNM分期有关(P < 0.05),而与患者的性别、年龄以及病理分型无关(P>0.05),研究结果与国外现有文献[报道一致,说明TSLC1可能影响NSCLC的发生、发展和转移,TSLC1可以作为判断NSCLC恶性程度的一个重要的生物学指标。 4.1B属于4.1超家族蛋白,定位于人类染色体的18p11.3区域,4.1蛋白通过与肌动蛋白、血影蛋白等家族的蛋白质以及细胞膜蛋白的胞质区相互作用,维持细胞的正常形态和生理特性[。据Ohno等[报道4.1B在消化系统中可能不仅有维持其正常结构构建的作用而且有维持正常细胞增殖和粘附的作用,因此可抑制上皮细胞的恶性转化。Tran等[发现与癌旁肺组织相比,肺腺癌中4.1B mRNA表达水平明显降低,在所检测的10株细胞中有8株细胞4.1B mRNA表达缺失。本研究显示:与癌旁正常组织相比,4.1B蛋白在肺腺癌和肺鳞癌中的表达明显减少,并且还显示4.1B表达与NSCLC分化程度、TNM分期有关(P < 0.05),而与患者的性别、年龄以及病理分型无关(P>0.05),说明4.1B可能影响NSCLC的发生、发展和转移,进一步证实了4.1B是一种广泛存在的抑癌基因。 Yageta等[研究认为TSLC1通过4.1B与肌动蛋白骨架相连接,两种基因可能位于同一级联路径维持稳定的粘附结构。癌细胞中TSLC14.1B的缺失可能影响正常细胞粘附,导致肿瘤转移到邻近组织或末梢组织。TSLC1-4.1B级联反应也影响原发性脑脊膜瘤的发生发展[,这些都说明TSLC14.1B之间存在密切联系,我们用RT-PCR的方法研究了NSCLC中两种基因的表达及其相互关系,结果表明TSLC14.1BNSCLC组织中的表达量明显低于相应癌旁正常肺组织(P < 0.01),TSLC14.1B在癌组织的表达呈正相关(r=0.471, P < 0.001)。 总之,TSLC14.1BNSCLC组织表达下调或缺失均与NSCLC的分化程度及TNM分期有关,与患者的性别、年龄以及病理分型无关,并且二者具有相关性。TSLC1蛋白可能与4.1B蛋白共同参与NSCLC的发生、发展和转移。但我们目前仅是对其基因水平的表达情况进行了研究,要想确定其作为抑癌基因的功能还需要对上述两种基因是否具有生长抑制的功能及其作用的信号通路进行更深入的研究,从而进一步阐明TSLC14.1BNSCLC发生发展过程中的作用机制,也将为NSCLC发病机制的研究提供新的依据,为NSCLC的临床诊断提供新的标志物,并有可能为肺癌的治疗提供新的靶点。
