    Clinical significance and assay of peripheral blood somatostatin, TNFα, IL6, sIL2R in patients with gastrointestinal cancer

  【Abstract】 AIM: To observe the changes of peripheral blood somatostatin (SS), tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα), interleukin6 (IL6) and soluble interleukin2 receptor (sIL2R) levels in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. METHODS:  The subjects were divided into 4 groups: 23 cases in normal control group, 37 patients in gastric cancer group, 23 patients in colon carcinoma group and 29 patients in rectal cancer group. The levels of TNFα, IL6 and sIL2R were assayed with ELISA and SS was assayed with RIA. RESULTS:  Compared with that in control group, the level of SS decreased significantly in gastric cancer group, colon cancer group and rectal cancer group, but the serum levels of IL6 and sIL2R increased remarkably. The levels of IL6 and sIL2R were significantly different in the 3 types of gastrointestinal cancer (P<0.05). Significant difference was found in the level of TNFα when control group and gastric cancer group were compared with colon and rectal cancer groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:  The detection of the changes of peripheral blood SS, TNFα, IL6 and sIL2R is of some clinical significance in the diagnosis and differentiation of patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

  【摘要】 目的:观察胃肠道肿瘤患者外周血生长抑素(SS)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)、白介素6(IL6)、可溶性白介素2受体(sIL2R)表达水平的变化. 方法:正常对照组23例,胃癌组37例,结肠癌组23例,直肠癌组29例. 放射免疫法(RIA)检测SS, ELISA法检测TNFα,IL6和sIL2R水平. 结果:与对照组相比,胃癌组、结肠癌组、直肠癌组SS水平明显降低,而血清中IL6,sIL2R水平则明显升高(P<0.05),且后两者在三种类型的胃肠道肿瘤间显示组间差(P<0.05);结肠癌组、直肠癌组TNFα与对照组及胃癌组间差别有显著性(P<0.05). 结论:检测血液中SS,TNFα,IL6和sIL2R对胃肠道肿瘤的诊断有一定的意义.

  0引言

  肿瘤患者多有免疫功能的异常,常伴有免疫抑制因子的表达升高或(和)免疫促进因子表达水平的降低. 研究表明患者外周血中生长抑素(somatostatin,SS)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)、白介素6(IL6)、可溶性白介素2受体(sIL2R)等水平变化与肿瘤相关,但结果不统一;探索多种细胞因子与肿瘤发生的关系也研究较少. 为此,我们同时检测胃肠道肿瘤患者血液中这4种因子的变化,以探讨其临床意义.

  1材料和方法

  1.1材料

  胃肠道肿瘤患者89(男42,女47)例,年龄25~68(平均52.1)岁. 其中胃癌37例,结肠癌23例,直肠癌29例. 所有病例均经临床及术后病理检验证实. 对照组23(男12,女11)例,年龄22~69(平均51.2)岁. 心、肺、肝、肾及胃肠道系统均正常,无造血系统疾病,并取得知情同意,与病例组相比无性别、年龄差异.

  1.2方法

  于术前2~3 d或临床确诊后空腹静脉采血5 mL,分装不抗凝管与抗凝管(0.3 mol/L EDTANa 100 μL,抑肽酶2500 kU). 低温离心(4℃,2500 r/min,10 min),分离血清和血浆,-30℃保存待测;对照组方法同上.  采用放免分析法(RIA)测血液中SS,  仪器为N682B型自动放射免疫γ测量仪(中科院上海原子核研究所生产);血清中TNFα,IL6和sIL2R水平测定采用ELISA法. 所有试剂盒购自Genzyme公司,具体测定方法按说明书进行.
统计学处理:所有资料以x±s表示. 组间比较采用OneWay ANOVA,两两比较用LSD法,数据处理用SPSS 11.0软件包,P<0.05为差异具有显著性.

  2结果

  与对照组相比,胃癌组外周血中SS, IL6与sIL2R;结肠癌组、直肠癌组SS,TNFα,IL6与sIL2R差异有显著性(P<0.05). 组间比较观察到 SS在结肠癌组与胃癌、直肠癌组间;TNFα在胃癌组与结肠癌、直肠癌组间;IL6和sIL2R在胃癌组、结肠癌组、直肠癌组间的变化有统计学意义(P<0.05, Tab 1).表1各组外周血中SS,TNFα,IL6,sIL2R水平比较(略)

  3讨论

  SS具有抑制胃酸和胃肠激素分泌、降低内脏血流量和抑制胃肠蠕动等多种功能. 大量研究证实[1,2],SS分布于胃肠壁的黏膜层和浆肌层,可分泌入血; SS能减少胃肠黏膜DNA合成,抑制实验动物胃癌和大肠癌细胞生长. 本文结果显示,胃癌、结肠癌和直肠癌患者空腹外周血SS含量低于对照组且有统计学意义(P<0.05). 同时比较观察到,胃癌组和直肠癌组较结肠癌组下降更为明显. TNFα具有多种生物学功能,对多种肿瘤细胞与正常细胞具有直接的细胞毒作用,并能介导炎症与免疫反应[3,4]. 我们观察到,胃癌患者血清TNFα水平无明显变化,肠癌组患者血清TNFα有降低趋势,并与对照组、胃癌组相比有显著性差异(P<0.05),其病理生理意义有待进一步研究. IL6是机体免疫调节的重要细胞因子,参与T,B细胞的增殖、分化和NK细胞与巨噬细胞的多种生物学效应[5,6]. 近来人们研究发现,IL6可以自分泌形式促进一些肿瘤细胞的增殖、生长[7]. 本研究结果也表明胃癌、肠癌组患者血清中IL6明显高于对照组(P<0.05),并显示胃癌组、结肠癌组、直肠癌组间变化有统计学意义. 证明IL6与胃肠道肿瘤的发生、发展有关. IL2为重要的细胞免疫促进因子,具有明显的抗肿瘤作用,sIL2R为免疫抑制因子,其在血循环中与IL2结合从而封闭阻断了IL2的作用. sIL2R在多种肿瘤患者血清中表达水平明显增高,而去除肿瘤负荷后sIL2R水平下降,肿瘤复发时sIL2R再次升高,其在肿瘤辅助诊断、估计预后和预测复发等方面均具有一定价值[8,9]. 此次研究显示胃癌、结肠癌、直肠癌患者血清sIL2R水平明显升高,并且三种类型的肿瘤之间sIL2R变化也有统计学意义(P<0.05).

  本文胃肠肿瘤患者外周血中SS,TNFα,IL6和sIL2R水平与对照组相比有不同程度变化. 且IL6,sIL2R在三种类型的胃肠肿瘤间也显示统计学差异,提示检测血液中SS,TNFα,IL6和sIL2R对胃肠肿瘤的诊断或鉴别诊断有一定的临床意义.
