Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of RUNX3 and CyclinDl in pancreatic carcinoma and their significance. Methods Expressions of RUNX3, CyclinD1 in 47 cases with pancreatic carcinoma, 18 cases with cystadenoma of pancreas and 12 normal pancreas cases were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between their expressions and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of RUNX3 in pancreatic carcinoma, cystadenoma of pancreas, normal pancreas cases were 57.4％ (27/47), 94.4％ (17/18), 100％ (12/12); the positive expression rates of CyclinD1 in pancreatic carcinoma, cystadenoma of pancreas, normal pancreas cases were 72.3％ (34/47), 44.4％(8/18), 8.3％ (1/12). RUNX3 expression was not related to the age and sex, but it was negatively associated with clinical staging, lymph node metastasis, the differentiation degree (P ＜0.05 ). CyclinD1 expression was not related to the age and sex, but it was positively associated with clinical staging, lymph node metastasis, the differentiation degree (P ＜0.05 ). The expression of RUNX3 and CyclinD1 was negatively associated (r = - 0.375, P = 0.009). Conclusions The expression of RUNX3 is decreased in pancreatic carcinoma. The expression of CyclinD1 is increased in pancreatic carcinoma. They may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and progression of pancreatic carcinoma.
