目的: 探讨大肠癌组织IL-8 mRNA表达及其临床意义.
方法: 用实时荧光定量PCR检测56例大肠癌组织及癌旁正常组织IL-8 mRNA表达, 分析IL-8 mRNA表达与大肠癌临床病理因素之间的关系.
结果: 癌组织和癌旁正常组织IL-8 mRNA表达有显著差异(1.106±0.420 vs 0.792±0.374, P<0.05). 癌组织IL-8 mRNA表达与淋巴结转移、组织学类型、血管侵犯、肝转移及肿瘤病理分期密切相关, 与肿瘤部位、肿瘤大小、及患者的性别和年龄等无关.
结论: IL-8高表达同大肠癌生物学行为密切相关, 可能与大肠癌的发生、发展及预后有关.

AIM: To investigate the IL-8 mRNA expression in cancerous tissue from patients with colorectal carcinoma and to evaluate its clinic significance.
METHODS: Fluorescent quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) was used to detect the IL-8 mRNA expression in cancerous tissue from 56 patients with colorectal carcinoma and to observe its relationship with pathologic parameters.
RESULTS: The expression of IL-8 mRNA was significantly higher in cancerous tissue from patients with colorectal carcinoma than in normal tissue (1.106 ± 0.420 vs 0.792 ± 0.374, P < 0.05). IL-8 mRNA expression was closely related with the pathologic parameters, such as presence of venous invasion, lymph node metastasis, histological type, liver metastasis and clinicopathological stage (Dukes) (P < 0.05). However, tumor site was not significantly related to the age and sex of the patients.
CONCLUSION: IL-8 mRNA expression is significantly correlated with the biological behavior of colorectal carcinoma. The high expression of IL-8 may be related with the occurrence and progress of colorectal cancer.

趋化因子是一组对白细胞有趋化作用和激活功能的细胞因子. 近年来研究表明, 趋化因子与肿瘤生长和转移有密切关系, 其中研究较为深入的是白介素-8(IL-8). 在许多肿瘤组织中均可检测到IL-8蛋白质分泌及其mRNA表达, 而在其相应正常组织IL-8不表达或呈低表达状态, 说明IL-8与肿瘤发生、发展有关. 因此, 我们应用实时荧光定量PCR法检测大肠癌患者癌组织IL-8 mRNA表达, 并分析其与临床病理因素之间关系.
2002-07/2004-07浙江大学附属邵逸夫医院肿瘤外科的住院大肠癌患者56例. 男33例, 女23例. 年龄31-85(中位年龄55)岁. 所有标本均经过病理证实. 其中, 结肠癌22例, 直肠癌34 例. 组织学类型: 乳头状腺癌7例, 管状腺癌44 例, 黏液腺癌5例. 我们将乳头状腺癌和高、中分化腺癌定为分化好型, 将低分化及黏液腺癌定为分化差型. 临床病理分期按Dukes分期. 全部病例术前均未接受化疗及放疗. FQD-33A荧光定量PCR仪由杭州大和热磁电力有限公司提供. 总RNA抽提试剂盒和M-MuLV逆转录酶购自Promega公司. 逆转录实时荧光定量PCR试剂购自Roche公司.
1.2.1 引物设计与合成: 引物和探针在GenBank查到基因序列, 使用软件Primer-Express2.0进行设计. IL-8上游引物: 5'-AGAGTGGACCACACTGCGC-3', 下游引物: 3'-ACATCCCAACGGTCTACGTTA-5', 扩增片段为251 bp; GAPDH上游引物为5'-GAAGATGGTGATGGGATTT-3', 下游引物为5'-CAAGCTTCCCGTTCTCAGCC-3', 扩增产物长226 bp. 上述引物均由上海博亚生物技术服务公司合成.
1.2.2 标本制备、RNA提取和cDNA合成: 标本采集后迅速放至液氮中冷冻, -80 ℃保存. 使用TRIzol RNA提取液, 按照其说明书对大肠癌组织和癌旁正常组织提取总RNA, 通过甲醛变性凝胶电泳定性和紫外分光光度仪定量. 取总RNA 1 µg, 进行逆转录, 按照说明书进行cDNA合成, 所得cDNA置于-20 ℃保存. GAPDH和IL-8 mRNA的PCR反应: 反应体系为25 µL, l0×PCR Buffer 2.5 µL, 25 mmol/L MgCl2 1.5 µL, l0 mmol/L dNTP 0.5 µL, l0 nmol/L Primer 1 µL/L, l nmol/L probe 2.5 µL, 5 µL/L Taq 0.25 µL, cDNA 2.5 µL, 无菌双蒸水15 µL, 反应条件: 94 ℃变性5 min, 94 ℃ 30 s, 58 ℃ 45 s, 72 ℃ 30 s, 共40个循环, 循环结束后72 ℃延伸10 min, 每个标准品和标本均作复管PCR反应.
1.2.3 PCR产物定量的校正和判定分析: 采用 GAPDH作为内参照. IL-8 mRNA和GAPDH mRNA根据标准曲线得出mRNA的分子拷贝数. 用GAPDH的拷贝数作为校正基数, 即目的基因mRNA精确含量 = 目的基因CT值/内参照GAPDH CT值, 以此比值作统计处理. 根据FQ-PCR原理, 被激发的荧光信号达到一定阈值后被荧光探头采集, 最后将其转换成CT值, 该数值与扩增片段的实际拷贝数呈反比, 即CT值越低, 实际拷贝数含量越高.
统计学处理 各数据均以mean±SD表示, 进行配对t检验, 应用SPSS11.0统计软件对所得数据进行统计学处理, 以P<0.05为有显著性差异.
大肠癌癌旁正常组织和大肠癌组织均表达IL-8 mRNA, 其表达水平分别为1.306±0.448和1.028±0.456, 大肠癌组织IL-8 mRNA表达明显高于癌旁正常组织(P<0.05).
IL-8 mRNA在乳头状腺癌和管状腺癌组织中的表达明显高于黏液腺癌组织(1.106±0.420 vs 0.792±0.374, P<0.05). 在有淋巴结转移者中的表达明显低于无淋巴结转移者(P<0.05). 肝脏转移者IL-8 mRNA表达低于无肝脏转移者(0.756±0.328 vs 1.103±0.424, P<0.05). 按大肠癌Dukes分期标准, 本组A期和B期20例, C期和D期36例. C、D期IL-8 mRNA表达平均指数为0.891±0.349, A、B期为1.223±0.449, 前者IL-8 mRNA表达明显低于后者(P<0.05, 表1).

浸润、转移及复发是肿瘤生物学主要特性, 具有重要的临床意义, 因而备受关注. 而血管形成在肿瘤浸润、复发及转移过程中有非常重要的作用. 肿瘤的持续生长必须依赖新生血管的形成, 如果肿瘤不能血管化, 生长至2-3 mm便发生退化. 血管化不仅能通过"灌注"效应促进肿瘤生长, 并为肿瘤细胞进入血液循环和转移提供可能, 在肿瘤形成中起着重要的作用[1]. 目前的研究显示, IL-8参与肿瘤血管形成, IL-8与肿瘤的侵润、转移密切相关[2-5]. Lee et al[6]检测35例胃癌患者癌组织和癌旁正常组织中的IL-8表达, 癌组织中IL-8表达显著高于癌旁正常组织, 随着病理分期的升高, IL-8的表达也逐步升高, 二者有显著相关性. 同时IL-8的表达与病理分型也有显著的相关性, 而IL-8的高表达与胃癌患者的生存时间有显著负相关性, 这表明IL-8的表达在预测胃癌癌变过程中是非常重要的有效的指标. 研究者在肺癌[7,8]和卵巢癌[9]、乳腺癌[10]、肝癌[11]等也得出了类似的结果, 提示IL-8参与肿瘤的发生和发展. 本研究显示, 大肠癌患者癌组织IL-8 mRNA表达强度明显高于正常组织, 而且随着大肠癌临床病理分期的升高而明显上升, 呈显著正相关, 癌组织IL-8 mRNA的高表达与血管侵犯、淋巴结转移和肝脏转移呈显著正相关, 提示IL-8参与大肠癌的浸润和转移.
研究表明IL-8除参与肿瘤血管形成外, 还通过阻滞细胞凋亡[12]、促进细胞和细胞及细胞和基质间黏附[13]、自分泌[14,15]、上调基质金属蛋白酶[16]及通过调节EGFR[3]等作用而参与肿瘤的发生发展. 由于IL-8与血管形成及肿瘤生长密切相关, Inoue et al[17]用IL-8反义cDNA全序列抑制肿瘤组织血管形成和肿瘤转移, 而Hjortoe et al[18]用乳腺癌细胞系MDA-MB-231接种动物, 对产生肿瘤的动物分别用抗IL-8抗体和对照抗体处理, 结果表明, 与对照组相比, 抗IL-8抗体处理的肿瘤生长明显延缓, 出现转移时间明显延长. Zhang et al[19]研究前列腺癌细胞PC-3MM2时也有类似发现. 提示IL-8可成为抗肿瘤治疗的一个新的靶点.
近年来研究表明, 趋化因子与肿瘤生长和转移有密切关系, 因此, 本文应用实时荧光定量PCR法检测大肠癌患者癌组织IL-8 mRNA表达, 并分析其与临床病理因素之间关系.
