Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression of Tiaml in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and analyze its correlations to pathology of disease and prognosis.Methods The expressions of Tiam1 protein in 107 specimens of human clear cell renal cell carcinoma and 20 specimens of normal renal tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining and its clinical significance was then analyzed.Results The expression of Tiam1 protein was higher in renal cancers than in the adjacent normal tissues ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Tiam1 protein expression rates were 47.6％ and 72.7％ in Ⅰ - Ⅱ and Ⅲ - Ⅳ tumors,while 49.3％ and 76.5％ in T1 - T2 and T3 - T4 tumors,respectively ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Expression of Tiam1 protein was higher in lymph node positive renal carcinoma tissues than in lymph node negative renal carcinoma tissues ( 71.7％ versus 47.5％,P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of Tiam1 in carcinoma tissues showed a positive relationship with tumor vascular invasion (81.3％ versus 48.0％,P ＜ 0.01 ).In patients followed-up 5 - 8 years,Kaplan-meier analysis and the log-rank test showed that the 5-year survival was significantly different between the group of lower and higher Tiaml expression groups ( 84.4％ versus 46.8％,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions The expression of Tiaml protein was higher in human primary renal carcinoma than in normal renal tissues.The positive rate of Tiam1 protein expression was related to classification,TNM stage,lymph node metastasis and vascular invasion.The detection of the expression of Tiaml protein may be helpful in the diagnosis and prognosis of renal carcinoma.
