ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo determine the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2),cysteine rich protein 61 (Cyr61) and CD25 in esophageal carcinoma and investigate their clinical significance.MethodThe expression of MMP-2, Cyr61 and CD25 in 68 cases of esophageal tumor tissues (esophageal carcinoma group ) and part-cancer( para-cancer group ) and 68 cases of reflux esophagitis (control group ) was detected by immunohistochemical method and the results were statistically analysed. ResultsThe positive expression rates of MMP-2,Cyr61 and CD25 were 82.35％(56/68), 73.53％(50/68) and 89.71％(61/68)respectively in esophageal carcinoma group,there were significant differences compared with those in paracancer group and control group(P ＜ 0.05) ; while there was no significantdifference between para-cancer group and control group (P ＞ 0.05 ). The positive expression rates of MMP-2, Cyr61 and CD25 in esophageal carcinoma group in different T stage, N stage and M stage all had statisticall differences (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference in different degree of differentiation (P ＞ 0.05 ). ConclusionMMP-2,Cyr61 and CD25 is highly expressed in esophageal carcinoma,there is some significance for understanding the occurrence, development and prognosis of esophageal carcinoma.
