丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶15在甲状腺乳头状癌诊治中的意义

Expression and significance of STK15 gene in parpillary thyroid carcinoma

目的:探讨甲状腺乳头状癌组织中丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶15(STK15)的表达及其作用。方法:采用免疫组织化学法检测71例甲状腺乳头状癌组织及其癌旁组织和45例结节性甲状腺肿组织中STK15基因的表达。结果:71例甲状腺乳头状癌组织中STK15基因的阳性表达率均为100.0%,癌旁组织STK15阳性表达率8.45%,结节性甲状腺肿组织中STK15阳性表达率为24.4%。在甲状腺乳头状癌组织中STK15的表达具有相关性(P<0.01)。结论:STK15基因在甲状腺乳头状癌组织中均为高表达,通过检测STK15可提高甲状腺乳头状癌的诊断率,对发现具有恶性潜能的结节性甲状腺肿有重要意义。

Objective To explore the expression of serine/threonine kinase 15 （STK15） gene and its significance for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods SP immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of STK15 gene in 71 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 45 cases nodular goiter tissue. Results The positive expression rates of STK15 gene in 71 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma were 100%, and the adjacent of papillary thyroid carcinoma expressions of STK15 gene 8.5%, nodular goiter tissue of STK15 gene expression rates 24.4%. The expression of STK15 gene was positively correlated with that of STK15 gene in papillary thyroid carcinoma （P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion High expression of STK15 gene is confirmed in papillary thyroid carcinoma. The detection of STK15 gene can provide valuable evidence for diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma and evaluation of the malignant potential of nodular goiter.
