Objective: To detect the expression of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) in specimens of patients with small cell lung cancer(SCLC) and to statistically analyze their biological characteristics (age, gender, smoking, TNM staging, and prognosis), in order to determine whether the expression of SSTR2 and the biological characteristics of patients has correlation, evaluate whether SSTR2 can be used as a target for diagnosis and treatment, broaden the treatment of SCLC. Methods: Using immunohistochemical method, the expression of SCLC was detected in SCLC tissue samples and small cell lung cancer cell line, then non-tumor lung tissue and epithelial cells were served as controls. General data of patients who suffer from SCLC were collected to evaluate the relationship between SSTR2 expression and biological characteristics of patients. Results: In human SCLC NCI-H446, SSTR2 was strongly positive(+++), mainly expressed in cell membrane. In epithelial control cells, no SSTR2 expressed. The positive expression rate of SSTR2 in SCLC tissues was 69.6% (32/46), strong positive expression rate being 34.8%(16/46), medium positive expression rate 23.9%(11/46), weak positive expression rate 10.9%(5/46). The positive expression rate in non-tumor lung tissue was 10% (1/10),which was weakly positive. The average survival time of SSTR2 positive and negative was 33.9 months and 28.4 months (median survival:21 months vs 24 months), P=0.883), There was no significantly statistical difference. Analysis of the correlation between SSTR2 expression and biological characteristics of patients showed that there was no significant correlation between SSTR2 expression and SCLC patient's sex, age, smoking, TNM stage and survival time (P>0.05). Conclusion: Among patients who suffer from SCLC, no significant correlation exist among the expression rate of SSTR2 and age, sex, smoking history, TNM stage and survival, which means the expression of SSTR2 may not be a prognostic factor of recognizing patients who suffer from SCLC. However, the expression rate of SSTR2 among patients who suffer from SCLC is very high, which indicates that SSTR2 can be used as a stable target for somatostatin and its analogues in the targeted therapy of SCLC. |
