2、乳腺癌中過(guò)表達(dá)的意義及其與乳腺癌化療方案選擇的相關(guān)性。方法：利用SP免疫組織化學(xué)技術(shù)，檢測(cè)88例乳腺癌組織中MT表達(dá)率。結(jié)果：MT在乳腺癌中總陽(yáng)性率為67.05%(59/88)。MT在髓樣癌、小葉癌和導(dǎo)管癌中的陽(yáng)性率分別為41.67%，85.71%和62.50%。在浸潤(rùn)型乳腺癌組陽(yáng)性率明顯高于非浸潤(rùn)型癌組(P<0.05);在小葉癌組陽(yáng)性率高于髓樣癌組和導(dǎo)管癌組(P<0.05);淋巴結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)移組陽(yáng)性率高于非轉(zhuǎn)移組(P<0.05)。結(jié)論：MT表達(dá)與乳腺癌的病理類(lèi)型及有否淋巴結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)移相關(guān)，檢測(cè)MT對(duì)乳腺癌化療方案的制定有指導(dǎo)意義。 【關(guān)鍵詞】  金屬硫蛋白;乳腺腫瘤;免疫組織化

3、學(xué)Since the first report of metallothionein(MT)overexpression in thyroid cancer tissues by Cherian and Nartey in 19871,there has been an extensive interest in the role which is played by MT in tumorigenesis.The abnormal increase of MT is related to the genesis,development and drugresistance of tumor2

13、lar with much sulfydryl.MT gene is located at chromosome 16.MT proteins are small molecular weight proteins containing 61 to 68 amino acid residue,and are characterized by high cysteine content with a paucity of aromatic acids,there is 25%30% cysteine of in MT.In human,there are four subgroup of MT

14、proteins,namely MT1,MT2,MT3 and MT4,and each subgroup can be classified into and 3.Because MT exhibit the selective chelating power for heavy metal ion such as zine(Zn),copper(Cu),cadmium(Cd)and platinum(Pt),they are involved in heavy metal complex.MT has close relation to absorption，transportation and metabolism of many trace elements.MT has also been implicated in chemoresistance to anticancer drugs and in scavenging free radical in cells4.The clearance ability of MT is 38.5 times higher than that of glutathione according to the relevant report,e
