摘要: 目的:探讨肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)和基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)在人成釉细胞瘤(ABs)中的表达及意义。方法:采用免疫组化通用二步法,分别检测43例ABs和10例正常口腔黏膜中CD68标记的巨噬细胞数目及MMP-2的表达情况。结果:TAMs和MMP-2在ABs中的表达均高于正常黏膜,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。在ABs中,TAMs主要表达于肿瘤间质,MMP-2主要表达于肿瘤实质,MMP-2表达强度随着TAMs计数增加而增加,二者呈正相关关系(r=0.331,P<0.05)。结论:TAMs和MMP-2在ABs中的共同表达可能在其发生发展中发挥重要作用。

Abstract: Objective:To investigate the and clinical significance of tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs) and matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) in ameloblastomas(ABs). Methods: The of TAMs(CD68) and MMP-2 was examined in 43 ABs and 10 normal oral mucosa by universal two-step immunohistochemical technique. Results:Expression of TAMs and MMP-2 were significantly higher in ABs compared with normal oral mucosa(P<0.01). TAMs was mainly expressed within the stroma and MMP-2 was mainly expressed within the islands of ABs. There was a positive correlation between MMP-2 score and TAMs count in ABs(r=0.331, P<0.05). Conclusions:The common of TAMs and MMP-2 may play an important role in the development of ABs.
