摘要: 摘要:目的 探讨血清胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白-2(IGFBP-2)在食管癌患者中的表达及其与营养状态和预后的关系。方法 选取行手术及放(化)疗治疗的136例食管癌患者,采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测患者血清IGFBP-2的表达水平,分析其与患者临床病理特征、营养相关参数的关系。通过Kaplan-Meier生存曲线评估血清IGFBP-2表达对食管癌患者总生存期(OS)的影响,采用多因素Cox回归分析IGFBP-2食管癌患者预后的影响因素。结果 全组食管癌患者血清IGFBP-2水平中位数为302.52 μg/L,据此分为高表达组(68例)与低表达组(68例)。与低表达组相比,高表达组患者体质量减轻≥5%(χ2=6.814)、血清白蛋白<35 g/L(χ2=23.702)、C反应蛋白≥10 mg/L(χ2=4.561)、格拉斯哥预后评分(GPS)1~2分(χ2=17.486)、预后营养指数(PNI)<50.8(χ2=51.883)的比例明显升高,外周血淋巴细胞绝对值下降(均P<0.05)。生存分析显示,IGFBP-2高表达患者中位OS明显短于低表达组(22.0个月vs. 36.0个月,Log-rank χ2=5.037,P<0.05)。多因素Cox回归分析发现,血清IGFBP-2高表达(HR=1.631,95%CI:1.064~2.940,P=0.025)与TNM分期Ⅲ~Ⅳ期(HR=1.851,95%CI:1.166~2.940,P=0.009)是影响食管癌患者预后的独立预测因素。结论 食管癌患者血清IGFBP-2表达升高提示患者营养不良,总体预后不佳。

Abstract: Abstract: Objective To explore the expression level of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) and its correlations to nutritional status and the prognosis of esophageal cancer patients. Methods A total of 136 esophageal cancer patients treated with surgical resection and chemotherapy/radiotherapy in our hospital were included in this study. The expression level of serum IGFBP-2 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and its correlations to clinicopathological characteristics and nutritional parameters were further analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted to evaluate the impact of serum IGFBP-2 expression on the overall survival (OS) of esophageal cancer patients. Moreover, the Cox multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the prognostic significance of serum IGFBP-2 level for esophageal cancer patients. Results All patients were divided into the high expression (n=68) group and the low expression group (n=68) based on the median value (302.52 μg/L) of serum IGFBP-2 expression. Compared with the low expression group, patients with high expression of serum IGFBP-2 had a higher proportion of weight loss ≥ 5% (χ2= 6.814), serum albumin <35 g/L (χ2=23.702), C-reactive protein ≥10 mg/L (χ2= 4.561), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) 1-2 (χ2= 17.486) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) <50.8 (χ2= 51.883), and a lower count of peripheral blood lymphocyte (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the median OS of patients with high IGFBP-2 expression was significantly shorter than that of patients with low IGFBP-2 expression (22.0 months vs. 36.0 months, Log-rank χ2=5.037,P<0.05). The results of multivariate Cox analysis indicated that high serum IGFBP-2 expression (HR=1.631, 95%CI: 1.064-2.940, P=0.025) and tumor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (HR=1.851, 95%CI: 1.166-2.940, P=0.009) were independent prognostic factors for esophageal cancer patients. Conclusion The elevated serum level of IGFBP-2 expression is an indicator of malnutrition status, suggesting a poor prognosis of esophageal cancer.
