Abstract:
Objective To explore expression of Beclin1, autophagy-related protein 1 (Atg1), mammalian target of ra-pamycin (mTOR) in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma of lung and to analyse relationship among these three factors. Methods Immunohistochemical stainning was applied to detect expression of Beclin1, Atg1 and mTOR in 82 samples of SCC and adenocarcinoma of lung (lung cancer group) and 17 samples of paraneoplastic normal lung tissues (con-trol group). Correlations of expression of Beclin1, Atg1 and mTOR were analyzed in SCC and adenocarcinoma of lung. Re-sults The expression of Beclin1 was significantly lower in lung cancer group than that in control group(52.44%vs 94.12%, P＜0.01). There were significant differences of the differentiation, TNM stages and lymph node metastasis in lung cancer group compared with those in control group. And Beclin1 expression showed a decreasing trend with malignant and invasive of tumors. mTOR expression in lung cancer tissue with lymph nod metastasis is higher than that in the tissue without lymph node metastasis(P＜0.01). Atg1 expression in lung cancer tissue with larger mass is less than that in lung cancer tissue with small lumps(P＜0.01). Beclin1 Expression was positively correlated with the Atg1 expression in SCC(r=0.609,P＜0.01). Beclin1 and Atg1 expressions were both negatively correlated with mTOR expression in SCC(r=-0.617,-0.444,P＜0.01). Beclin1 expression was positively correlated with Atg1 expression in adenocarcinoma(r=0.458,P＜0.01). Beclin1 and Atg1 expression were both negatively correlated with mTOR expression in adenocarcinoma(r=-0.497,-0.541,P＜0.01). Conclu-sion Beclin1, Atg1 and mTOR expression showed a strong correlation in lung cancer, and clinicopathological change of lung SCC and adenocarcinoma may be related to autophagy.
