Abstract

背景与目的 已有研究表明Kelch样环氧氯丙烷相关蛋白1(Kelch-like ECH-associated protein1, Keap1)与铂类耐药相关。本研究旨在探讨Keap1在进展期非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)中的表达及其与一线含铂化疗方案疗效的相关性。方法 应用免疫组化检测50例进展期NSCLC患者组织标本中Keap1的表达。结果 进展期NSCLC患者中Keap1高表达率为26.0%;Keap1表达水平与化疗疗效、无进展生存期(progression free survival, PFS)有关(P<0.05),而与性别、年龄、吸烟、病理类型、分化程度、转移和总生存期无关(P>0.05)。Keap1高表达组的中位PFS明显高于低表达组(P=0.002)。多因素分析表明Keap1表达水平是一线化疗方案PFS的独立预测因素(P=0.007)。结论 Keap1与进展期NSCLC一线化疗疗效和PFS有关,Keap1可能成为新的化疗疗效预测指标。

Background and objective It has been proven that Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) expression was correlated with the chemoresistance of platinum drugs. The aim of this study is to investigate the protein expression levels of Keap1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients as well as to correlate its expression with the response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of patients treated with platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. Methods The immunohistochemical analysis of Keap1 expression was performed using tumor samples from 50 patients with stage III or IV NSCLC. Results The high expression ratio of Keap1 was 26.0%. The Keap1 expression was significantly correlated with the RR and PFS after platinum-based chemotherapy (P<0.05) but not with the gender, age, smoking, pathology type, differentiation, metastasis, and OS (P>0.05). The PFS was significantly longer in patients with high Keap1 expression than in those with low/negative expression (P=0.002). Furthermore, the level of Keap1 expression was an independent predictive factor of PFS after platinum-based first-line chemotherapy (P=0.007). Conclusion The expression of Keap1 was significantly correlated with the RR and PFS of platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. Therefore, Keap1 may be a useful biomarker for predicting the chemosensitivity of patients with advanced-stage NSCLC.
