摘要:

背景与目的:胸苷酸合成酶(thymidylate synthetaseTS)和胸苷酸磷酸化酶(thymidine phosphorylaseTP)是氟尿嘧啶类药物在体内代谢的关键酶,与胃癌患者接受氟尿嘧啶药物化疗疗效和预后密切相关。本研究旨在探讨晚期胃癌患者血清中TSTP表达水平与氟尿嘧啶为基础的化疗疗效及预后的相关性。方法:收集20061月—200810月于北京大学肿瘤医院消化肿瘤内科治疗的109例一线接受氟尿嘧啶类药物为基础化疗的晚期胃癌患者化疗前的血清标本,运用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)方法检测血清中TSTP表达水平,分析TSTP表达水平与化疗疗效及患者预后的相关性。结果:近端胃癌患者的TS表达水平高于远端胃癌患者(P=0.035),腹膜转移患者的TP表达水平明显低于无腹膜转移患者(P<0.001)TS高表达患者临床获益率(clinical benefit rateCBR)高于低表达患者(68.75% vs 47.1%P=0.029),与患者生存无明显相关。TP高表达患者的中位无进展生存期(progression-free survivalPFS)与总生存期(overall survivalOS)均长于低表达患者(PFS177 d vs 113 dP=0.018OS399 d vs 234 dP=0.227)。联合分析TSTP表达发现,TS低表达且TP高表达患者的中位PFSOS明显长于TSTP均低表达患者(PFS182 d vs 87 dP=0.042;OS429 d vs 223 dP=0.019)Cox多因素生存分析表明,在TS低表达时,TP表达水平是预后的独立影响因素(HR=1.91395%CI1.027~3.564P=0.041)结论:在接受氟尿嘧啶为基础化疗的晚期胃癌患者中,TS高表达患者的疗效较好,TP高表达患者的生存期较长,特别是TS低表达且TP高表达患者的生存期明显延长。

Abstract:

Background and purpose: Thymidylate synthetase (TS) and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) are the key enzymes in metabolism of fluorouracil drugs, and related to the chemotherapy response and prognosis in gastric cancer patients receiving fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the correlations between serum levels of TS, TP and clinical outcome in Chinese patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving fluorouracilbased chemotherapy. Methods: Serum samples prior to chemotherapy were collected from 109 patients receiving first-line fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in Peking University Cancer Hospital from Jan. 2006 to Oct. 2008. TS and TP levels were analyzed using ELISA assay. Results: TS expressions was higher in patients with proximal gastric cancer than those in patients with distal gastric cancer primary (P=0.035), and TP expression in patients with peritoneal metastasis was significantly lower than those in patients without peritoneal metastasis (P<0.001). Patients with high level of TS had higher clinical benefit rate (CBR) than patients with low level of TS (68.75% vs 47.1%, P=0.029), but no difference was seen between TS levels and survival. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with high level of TP were higher than those in patients with low levels of TP (PFS: 177 d vs 113 d, P=0.018; OS: 399 d vs 234 d, P=0.227). Combined analysis of TS and TP, the results indicated that patients with low TS and high TP levels had significantly longer PFS and OS than patients with low TS and high TP levels (median PFS: 182 d vs 87 d, P=0.042; median OS: 439 d vs 233 d, P=0.019). Cox multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that TP was an independent prognostic factor in patients with low level of TS (HR=1.913, 95% CI: 1.107–3.564, P=0.041). Conclusion: In Chinese patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving first-line fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, patients with high level of TS have a better efficacy and patients with high level of TP have a better prognosis. Especially, patients with TS low and TP high level have the longest PFS or OS.
