ABSTRACT Over-expression of Osteopontin in non-small cell lung cancers: its clinical significance HU Zhi, XIAO Ting, LIN Dongmei, GUO Suping, ZHANG Ziqiang, DI Xuebing, CHENG Shujun, GAO Yanning Cancer Institute/Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100021 Objective Data obtained from a differentially expressed cdna library constructed previously in this laboratory demonstrated that the extracellular matrix molecule Osteopontin (OPN) was one of the most considerably over-expressed genes in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). The purpose of the present study is to explore expressive status of OPN in a large scale tissue sample of NSCLCs, and estimate its significance in progression of the malignant disease. Methods RT-PCR was performed with the tumor and adjacent normal tissues of 35 patients with NSCLC, for the transcriptional levels of OPN. To determine the expression of OPN protein in the tumor tissues, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was subsequently carried out on paraffin-embedded sections, in manner of tissue microarrays containing 662 samples, derived from NSCLC patients. The correlation between the expressive levels of OPN and clinical characteristics was then analyzed by statistical process. Results Comparing with the paired normal lung tissue, high level RNA of OPN was detected in 80.0% (28/35) of the tumor tissues of NSCLC by RT-PCR, which validated the information contributed previously by our differentially expressed cdna library. The 3
results of IHC analysis showed that positively stained OPN protein was observed in 59.6% (331/555) of the tumor tissues, which is remarkably higher than that (25.2%, 27/107) detected in the normal control tissues (P<0.001). Among the NSCLCs investigated, over-expressed OPN was more frequently found in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) than in adenocarcinomas. A further analysis on the SCCs demonstrated that the rates of over-expressed OPN were significantly different between the primary tumors with and without lymphatic metastases (68.6% vs. 49.7%, P=0.001), but similar in the primary tumors and their corresponding metastases in lymph node (68.6% vs. 75.5%, P=0.171). Conclusions Expression of OPN protein was distinctly increased in NSCLCs, particularly in SCCs. OPN over-expression was considerably correlated with lymph node invasion and aggrandized the risk of tumor metastasis (OR=2.212). The resulting data suggest that the OPN facilitates the progression of NSCLCs. Keywords Osteopontin; non-small cell lung cancers 4
