摘要: 目的探讨RhoA/Rock蛋白在良性前列腺增生(BPH)组织中表达及意义。方法选取2012年6月—2013年2月住院行经尿道前列腺电切手术且术后病理证实为BPH患者20例(BPH组),同期选取非病猝死的新鲜尸体前列腺标本16例为正常对照,采用S-P免疫组化方法检测增生前列腺组织及正常前列腺组织中RhoA和Rock蛋白的表达,并结合临床症状评分进行分析。结果 BPH组RhoA和Rock蛋白的阳性表达率分别为85.0%和90.0%,明显高于正常前列腺组的25.0%和23.8%(P<0.05);相关分析显示,RhoA与Rock蛋白的表达水平呈正相关(P<0.01),与国际前列腺症状(IPSS)评分、膀胱过度活动症状(OABSS)评分与表达量呈正相关(P<0.05)。结论 RhoA和Rock蛋白在良性前列腺增生组织中表达高于正常前列腺组织中的表达量;临床症状与RhoA/Rock表达相关。Abstract: Objective To investigate the expressions and their clinical significance of RhoA and Rock in benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods From June 2012 to February 2013,20 male patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate and diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia by tissue specimens in Shenyang Military General Hospital were selected. Fresh prostate specimens from cadavers of 16 sudden deaths of young men were used as controls. The expressions of RhoA and Rock were detected in 20 benign prostatic hyperplasia specimens and 16 normal prostate controls by immunohistochemistry S- P method. Results The positive rates of RhoA and Rock expression were 85. 0% and 90. 0%,respectively,in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues,but 25. 0% and 23. 8% in normal prostate controls( P <0. 05). Correlation analysis showed that RhoA protein level was positively correlated with Rock( P < 0. 01),and positively correlated with international prostate symptom score,and overactive bladder symptom score( P < 0. 05 for all). Conclusion The expressions of RhoA and Rock protein in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissues are significantly higher than that in normal prostate tissues and are correlated with clinical symptoms.
