摘要
Objective To study the effects of multi- drug resistance associated protein gene (MRP gene)overexpression on the prognosis of patients with lung cancer. methods Paraffin - embedded tissues taken fromradical resection of 47 cases suffering from non - small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were determined for theexpression of MRP gene mRNA by in situ hybridization using labelled digoxigenin probes combined withimmunohistochemistry. All the patients had been followed - up from 6 months to 3 years. Results Theoverexpression of MRP gene mRNA of all the 47 lung cancer specimens was found to be obviously related withsurvival time, effects of chemotherapy, recurrence or metastases after surgery, but not related with histology, tumorsize, node metastases, TNM stages, age and sex. Conclusion MRP gene mRNA expression is correlated with theprognosis of lung cancer patients and may be regarded as an indicator to forecast the prognosis and to choose thechemotherapy for lung cancer patients.
