鼻咽癌(NPC)在香港和中国南方很常见,但在西方国家很少见。端粒酶激活在人类癌症中很常见,但之前在鼻咽癌中尚未有报道。使用灵敏的 TRAP(端粒酶快速扩增方案)测定法,对 45 个鼻咽活检组织(36 个 NPC,9 个正常鼻咽粘膜)、4 个裸鼠异种移植 NPC 肿瘤和 5 个体外 NPC 细胞系中的端粒酶激活情况进行测定。端粒酶激活在鼻咽癌中很常见,并且可以高频率检测到(原发性肿瘤中为 85%,复发性肿瘤中为 100%)。与淋巴结受累阳性的鼻咽癌活检标本(100%)相比,无淋巴结受累的鼻咽癌活检中端粒酶激活频率最低(60%),差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05;Fisher 精确检验)。所有异种移植的鼻咽癌肿瘤和体外鼻咽癌细胞系的端粒酶活性均呈强阳性。我们的结果表明,端粒酶激活在鼻咽癌中很常见,它可能可用作鼻咽活检中肿瘤细胞检测的诊断标记物。 I 期 NPC 中端粒酶激活的频率较高(80% 阳性),表明这是肿瘤进展的早期事件。
Nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) are common in Hong Kong and southern China but rare in Western countries. Telomerase activation is common in human cancers but has not been reported previously in NPC. Telomerase activation in NPC was determined using the sensitive TRAP (telomerase rapid amplification protocol) assay in 45 nasopharyngeal biopsies (36 NPC, nine normal nasopharyngeal mucosae) in four xenografted NPC tumours established in nude mice and in five in vitro NPC cell lines. Telomerase activation is common in NPC and can be detected at high frequencies (85% in primary tumours and 100% in recurrent tumours). The frequency of telomerase activation was lowest in NPC biopsies without lymph node involvement (60%) compared with those with positive lymph node involvement (100%), and the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05; Fisher exact test). All the xenografted NPC tumours and in vitro NPC cell lines were strongly positive for telomerase activity. Our results suggest that telomerase activation is common in NPC and it may be useful as a diagnostic marker in the detection of tumour cells in nasopharyngeal biopsies. The high frequency of telomerase activation in stage I NPC (80% positive) suggests that it is an early event in tumour progression.
