| 1 | Expression and clinical significance of HIF-1α,VEGF and Survivin in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma显示文摘Objective:To evaluate the expression and correlation of hypoxia inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and Survivin proteins in biopsy specimens of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC), and then determine whether the levels of expression of these proteins could predict the clinical effectiveness of radiotherapy in individual cancers.Methods:The expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and Survivin were shown by S-P immunohistochemical stainingmethodinbiopsyspecimensofESCC,whichwereobtainedendoscopicallyfrom50patientsbeforeradiotherapy,and 10 cases of normal esophageal tissue.Results:The positive expression rates of HIF-1α,VEGF and Survivin were 68%,74% and72%inESCCrespectively.However,thethreetumormarkershadnegativeexpressionsinnormalesophagealtissue.The positive rate of HIF-1αwas positively correlated with VEGF and Survivin proteins.The positive rates of HIF-1αand Survivin were closely related to the clinical stage,radiotherapy effectiveness and survival,otherwise,the expression of HIF-1αwas closely related to distant metastasis;both of them were no correlation with the differentiation degree of tumor.The effective rates of radiotherapy and mean survival periods of those cases with positive and negative expressions of HIF-1αwere 8.8%, 10 months and 81.25%,25 months,respectively.The one,two,and three years survival rates of patients with positive and negative expressions of HIF-1αwere 38.2%,5.9%,2.9%,and 81.3%,54.2%,15.8%,respectively(P=0.001).Patients with HIF-1αpositive expression obviously survived less than those with negative expression and the difference was significant. The expression of VEGF was only related to the distant metastasis.Conclusion:Over expressions of HIF-1α,VEGF and Survivin were found in ESCC.The positive rate of HIF-1αwas positively correlated with VEGF and Survivin proteins.The expression of HIF-1αmay serve as an important parameter in evaluating response for radiotherapy and prognosis of ESCC. It may play an important role by up-regulating the transcription of VEGF and Survivin genes. | Hongzhen Zhang Yazhen Wang Ning Xu Shuchai Zhu Bin Liu | 2007 | The Chinese-German Journal of Clinical Oncology2007，6，4： | 7 |
