摘要: 背景与目的: 检测CXCR4和HER2在乳腺患者的表达水平,观察HER2特异性抗体Herceptin对CXCR4表达和乳腺癌细胞体外转移活性的抑制作用。 材料与方法: 采用免疫组化法,检测临床不同时期乳腺癌组织CXCR4和HER2的表达水平;采用Western blot检测Herceptin作用后CXCR4蛋白表达,RT_PCR技术检测CXCR4 mRNA的表达;采用趋化实验和粘附实验检测Herceptin对HER2不同表达水平的乳腺癌细胞趋化和粘附活性的影响。 结果: CXCR4表达与乳腺癌细胞淋巴结转移状况、乳腺癌组织学分期及HER2的表达呈正相关(P值分别为0.032、0.000和0.015);在高表达HER2的乳腺癌细胞株SKBR3中,Herceptin可下调CXCR4的蛋白及mRNA的表达(P<0.05),并抑制其趋化和粘附活性(P<0.05)。 结论: 在HER2介导的肿瘤转移中,CXCR4表达上调可能是关键因素。

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: We evaluated the expression of CXCR4 and HER2, the inhibition of Herceptin on CXCR4 expression and the in vitro metastatic action in breast cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Biomarker expression levels in paraffin_embedded tissue sections of breast cancer were evaluated using immunohistochemical staining. The protein expression of CXCR4 was studied by Western blot and the mRNA expression was by RT_PCR after treatment with Herceptin . Adhesion and chemotaxis assays were used to evalvate the effect of Herceptin on breast cancer cells with different HER2 expressions. RESULTS: Cytoplasmic CXCR4 was positively correlated with lymph node-positive tumors(P=0.032)and different stage of breast cancer(P=0.000)and the expression of HER2(P=0.015). The protein and mRNA expressions of CXCR4 were decreased after treatment with Herceptin in breast cancer cells with HER2 overexpression(P<0.05)and activity of cell adherence to fibronectin(FN) and migration to SDF_1α were inhibited. CONCLUSION: HER2_mediated homing to metastatic organs and upregulation of CXCR4 may be key factors for HER2_mediated breast cancer metastasis.
