Clinical significance of MMP-12 expression in non-small cell lung cancer: report of 38 cases
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect MMP-12 mRNA expressions in 38 NSCLC the tumor tissues
including 12 samples of stage Ⅰ and 26 of stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ
and the matched normal lung tissues. Western blotting was used to measure the protein expression of MMP-12 in some tissue samples. Clinicopathological data were collected
and the relationship of MMP-12 mRNA and MMP-12 protein expression were analyzed with the clinicopathologi
cal characteristics of NSCLC. Results There was no expression of MMP-12 in 38 matched normal lung tissue
and MMP-12 mRNA was expressed in the NSCLC at stage Ⅰ (0.551±0.140)
and at stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ tumor tissues (1.082±0.424) with significant difference (
P
=0.001)
MMP-12 protein was not found in normal lung tissues
but expressed mild in the cancer tissue at stage Ⅰ
and highly in the tissues at stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Conclusion MMP-12 is highly expressed in NSCLC at stage of Ⅱ and Ⅲ
and significantly correlated with lymphatic node metastasis. The abnormal expression of MMP-12 in gene transcription may play an important role in the tumorogenesis and development of NSCLC.
