摘要: 目的 观察不同级别人脑胶质瘤组织中VCAM-1的表达情况,探讨其与脑胶质瘤病理分级的关系及临床意义。方法 用免疫组织化学及蛋白免疫印迹技术,检测6例正常脑组织和30例脑胶质瘤组织中VCAM-1蛋白表达情况,比较各级别之间的表达差异,分析VCAM-1蛋白表达水平与脑胶质瘤病理级别的相关性。 结果 正常脑组织及各级别胶质瘤组织内VCAM-1阳性细胞率分别为:正常5.8%,II级26.5%,III级69.5%和IV级79.3%。高级别脑胶质瘤组织内,阳性细胞集中分布于肿瘤微血管周围。脑胶质瘤组织阳性细胞率明显多于正常脑组织(p<0.05);III级和IV级恶性胶质瘤阳性细胞率显著高于II级低级别胶质瘤 (p<0.05);正常脑组织中VCAM-1表达量较低,胶质瘤组织中表达量则明显增多(p<0.05);III级和IV级恶性胶质瘤内VCAM-1蛋白表达明显高于II级胶质瘤(p<0.05);而III级和IV级脑胶质瘤间,VCAM-1蛋白表达则无显著性差异。结论 VCAM-1蛋白在人脑胶质瘤组织中明显高表达,且与脑肿瘤病理级别相关,提示VCAM-1蛋白在脑胶质瘤恶性进展中可能发挥着重要作用。

Abstract: Objective By observing the changes of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) protein expression in human brain glioma tissue to determine its correlation with tumor pathological grade and clinical significance. Methods The distribution and changes of VCAM-1 protein expression in 6 normal brain and 30 brain glioma tissue were detected by using immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot analysis. Results The results of immunohistochemistry staining showed that the percentage of VCAM-1 positive cell number in normal brain tissue, grade II, III and IV brain glioma tissue were 5.8%, 26.5%, 69.5% and 79.3%, respectively. The VCAM-1 positive cells mainly distributed along the tumor capillaries in high pathological grade glioma. The number of VCAM-1 positive cells in glioma tissue was significantly higher than that of normal brain tissue (p<0.05). The higher number of VCAM-1 positive cells in grade III and IV glioma tissue was observed when compared with that of grade II glioma tissue(p<0.05), but no significant difference was found between grade III and grade IV glioma tissue (p=0.068). Similarly, the Western blot analysis alse indicated that there were more VCAM-1 protein expressions in brain glioma tissue with the increase of the tumor grade level when compared with the less VCAM-1 expressed in normal brain tissue (p<0.05). In addition ,the VCAM-1 protein expressions in high pathological grade III and IV glioma tissue extensively increased compared with glioma II glioma tissue (p<0.05), but no significant difference in VCAM-1 protein expressions was observed between grade III and IV glioma tissue. Conclusion The significant increase of VCAM-1 protein expressions in brain glioma tissue positively correlated with the tumor pathological grades, suggesting an important role of VCAM-1 in the malignant progress of human brain glioma.
