目的探讨C-erbB2和表皮生长因子(EGFR)蛋白表达与垂体腺瘤激素类型及侵袭性的关系。方法用免疫组化ABC法对64例垂体腺瘤进行C-erbB2和EGFR免疫染色。结果C-erbB2和EGFR仅在大多数无激素型腺瘤中阳性表达,而在其它激素类型腺瘤病中极少阳性表达。EGFR在侵袭性腺瘤中的阳性表达率(41.93%)高于非侵袭组(12.12%),两者差异有显著性(P<0.05)。结论C-erbB2和EGFR过度表达可能与无激素型腺瘤的发生有关,而EGFR在垂体腺瘤的侵袭性行为中可能起重要作用
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of C-erbB2 and epidermal growth factor (EGFR) protein and the type and invasiveness of pituitary adenomas. Methods 64 cases of pituitary adenoma were immunohistochemically stained for C-erbB2 and EGFR by immunohistochemical ABC method. Results C-erbB2 and EGFR were positively expressed only in most hormone-free adenomas and rarely positively expressed in other hormone-type adenomas. The positive expression rate of EGFR in invasive adenomas (41.93%) was higher than that in non-invasive ones (12.12%). There was a significant difference between them (P<0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of C-erbB2 and EGFR may be related to the development of hormone-free adenomas, and EGFR may play an important role in the invasive behavior of pituitary adenomas.
