Expression of nm23-H1 and heat shock protein 27 and their significance in non-small cell lung carcinoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect the expressions of nm23-H1 and heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and their clinical significance on development and metastasis in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).Methods 75 tumor tissues from patients with NSCLC were included as experimental group and 28 pulmonary benign lesion tissues were as control group.The expressions of nm23-H1 and HSP27 in patients with different clinical and pathological characters were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results nm23-H1 and HSP27 were mainly expressed in cytoplasm,the positive rates of nm23-H1 and HSP27 were significantly higher in the experimental group than that in control group [41.3 ％ (31/75) vs 7.1％ (2/28),x2 =10.946,P =0.001,80.0 ％ (60/75) vs 46.4 ％ (13/28),x2 =11.131,P =0.001].Compared with control group,the positive rate of HSP27 was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (x2 =4.191,P =0.041).nm23-H1 was related with HSP27 in lung cancer (r =0.284,P =0.013).Conclusion nm23-H1 and HSP27 are related to the occurrence and development of NSCLC.The joint detection of nm23-H1 and HSP27 should be helpful to the diagnosis and judge the biological behavior of NSCLC.
