Abstract

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a class of proteolytic enzymes that digest collagen type IV and other components of the basement membrane. It plays a key role in the local invasion and the formation of distant metastases by various malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of MMP-2 and its significance as a prognostic marker in resected stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Material and Method: In this study we obtained fresh-frozen samples of tumor and non-tumor tissues from 34 patients with stage I NSCLC who underwent resection without preoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy. After the extraction of total protein from tissue samples, MMP-2 activities were assessed by gelatin-substrate-zymography. The activities were divided into the higher or lower groups. Result: The MMP-2 activities were higher in tumor tissues than in non-tumor tissues. The MMP-2 activity of non-tumor tissues in recurrent group was higher than in non-recurrent group (p<0.01). Also the patients with higher MMP-2 activity of non-tumor tissues showed poor 5 year survival (p<0.01). Conclusion: This result indicates that the higher level of MMP-2 activity in the non-tumor tissue is associated with the recurrence and survival after the resection of stage I NSCLC. Therefore, MMP-2 activity in the non-tumor tissue could be used as a potential prognostic marker for the resected stage I-NSCLC.

기질금속단백분해효소-2 (MMP-2)는 기저막과 세포 외 기질의 분해에 작용하여 악성종양의 국소침윤 및 원격전이에 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 본 연구는 수술적인 절제를 시행 받은 제1기 비소세포폐암에서 MMP-2의 활성도를 측정하고 예후인자로서의 의미를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 빛 방법: 수술 전 방사선 또는 항암제 요법을 시행하지 않은 병리학적 제1기 비소세포폐암 환자 34명을 대상으로 하였다. 폐엽 절제 조직에서 종양 조직과 비종양 조직의 단백질을 각각 추출하여 젤라틴-기질-단백분해효소 분석법을 시행하였다. 결과: MMP-2 활성도는 비종양 조직보다 종양 조직에서 높았다. 종양 조직, 비종양 조직 모두에서 비재발군에 비해 재발군의 MMP-2활성도가 높았으나 비종양 조직에서의 차이가 통계적 유의성이 있었다(p<0.01). 생존율 분석에서도 MMP-2 활성도가 높을 경우 불량한 생존을 보였으며 역시 비종양 조직에서 통계적인 의미가 있었다(p<0.01). 결론: 제1기 비소세포 페암 환자의 절제 폐엽 조직 중 비종양 조직에서의 MMP-2 활성도는 재발 및 생존과 연관성이 있으며 예후 인자로서의 가능성이 있다.
