Expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7 in prostate cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7)in the tissue of prostate cancer(PCa). Methods The pathological samples of 87 cases of PCa were collected.The average age was 66(59-78)years,preoperative of t-PSA was 45.7(2.4-138.2)ng/ml.Gleason score37 cases were≤6,18 cases were 7,32 cases were≥8.Stagesstage I(T1aN0M0)+stageⅡ(T1bN0M0,T1cN0M0,T2N0M0)20 cases;StageⅢ(T3N0M0)20;Stage Ⅳ(T4N0 M0,TxN1 M0,TxN0 M1)47 cases.According to bone scan or positron emission computed tomography-CT test results,patients were divided into PCa without bone metastasis,42 cases and PCa with bone metastasis,45 cases.Thirty cases of BPH were set as controls.BMP-7 in the PCa and BPH were detected by PV immunohistochemical study.Statistical analysis was done between two groups to compare the differential expression of BMP-7 and serum t-PSA in PCa, and BPH tissues.Results BMP-7 expression in the absorbance A value in benign prostatic hyperplasia was 70.55±5.41, in prostate cancer tissue 70.47± 6.18, no significant differences between the 2 groups(P>0.05).BMP-7 expression in the absorbance A value in prostate cancer without bone metastasis was 65.94 ± 1.76, but with bone metastasis 74.80±5.76.There was a significant difference (P<0.05).Gleason score≤6 absorbance A value was 65.96 ± 1.56, Gleason 7 absorbance A value 65.83 ± 2.75,≥8 absorbance A value 78.06±1.39.Compared with Gleason score≥8, BMP-7 expression in the absorbance A value were significantly lower than the latter (P<0.05).Clinical stage grouping of BMP-7 expression in the absorbance A value Stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ 65.86±1.72, Stage Ⅲ 65.87±1.85, Stage 74.49±5.83.There was a significant difference (P<0.05).In PCa tissues, BMP-7 of the absorbance A value and the serum t-PSA values showed a positive correlation (r=0.77,P,<0.05). Conelusions The expression level of BMP-7 has occurred in the high pathological Gleason score, late clinical stage, particularly in bone metastasis cases.The expression level of BMP-7 and serum t-PSA have a positive correlation.
