Abstract

It has been reported that p53 regulates the G2-M checkpoint transition through cyclin Bl, and it has been suggested that p53 plays an important role in the development and progression of various malignancies. The aim of this study is to clarify the role of the cell cycle regulators, cyclin B1 and p53 in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Material and Method: Tissue samples from 46 patients with ESCC were included in this study. Expression levels of cyclin Bl and p53 in samples of normal squamous epithelium, dysplasia, and tumor cells from patients with ESCC were analyzed by immunohistochemical study Result: Several cells in the basement layer of normal epithelium expressed cyclin B1. The number of cyclin B1 positive cells tended to increase as the degree of dysplasia increased from low grade to high grade. More than 10% of tumor cells were cyclin B1 positive in 19 patients (41.3%). Several clinicopathologic parameters, including tumor stage (p<0.05), pathologic Iymph node status (p<0.05) and invasion of Iymphatic vessels (p<0.05), were correlated with the overexpression of cyclin B1. Elevated expression levels of cyclin B1 also correlated with a poor prognosis in patient with ESCC in univariate analysis (p<0.05) and multivariate analysis (p<0.05), In contrast, p53 expression exhibited significant correlation with the level of cyclin B1 expression, but was not associated with prognostic parameters in patients with ESCC. Conclusion: These findings suggest that cyclin B1 is involved in the pathogenesis of carcinoma of the esophagus and that elevated levels of cyclin B1 expression, but not p53 expression, may indicate a poor prognosis for patients with ESCC.

p53은 cyclin Bl을 통해 세포주기 중 G2-M checkpoint 이행을 조절하는 것으로 알려져 있으며 이것은 p53이 여러 종류의 악성종양의 생성과 진행에 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 암시한다. 본 연구의 목적은 식도 편평세포암 환자에서 세포주기 조절인자인 cyclin Bl과 p53의 역할을 규명하는 데 있다. 대상 및 방법: 46예의 식도 편평세포암 환자에서 채취한 정상 편평상피, 이형성 조직과 암조직에서 면역조직화학검사를 이용하여 cyclin Bl과 p53의 발현을 조사하고 임상병리학적인 인자 및 생존율과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과: 정상상피의 기저층에 있는 몇 개의 세포들에서 cyclin Bl이 발현되었다. Cyclin Bl 양성세포의 범위는 이형성증의 정도가 심해질수록 증가하였다. Cyclin Bl의 양성율은 41.3% (19예/46예)였고 p53의 양성 발현율은 58.7% (27예/46예)였다. 임상병리학적 인자들 중 병기(p<0.05), 식도 주위 림프절 전이(p=0.05), 림프혈관 침범(p<0.05)만이 cyclin Bl의 발현과 관련이 있었고 단변량분석과 다변량분석에서 cyclin Bl의 발현은 예후불량과 관련이 있었다. p53의 발현은 cyclin Bl의 발현과는 상관관계가 있었으나, 임상병리학적 인자들과 예후와는 무관하였다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 cyclin Bl은 식도암의 생성에 관여함을 알 수 있었고 식도 편평세포암 환자에서 cyclin Bl의 발현은 불량한 예후를 나타내며 술 후 보강 항암요법을 시행함으로써 생존율의 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
