摘要
目的:探讨乳腺癌(BC)患者血清中可溶性B7同源体3(sB7-H3)、三叶因子1(TFF1)、脂质运载蛋白2(LCN-2)的水平对疾病诊断的临床价值.方法:选取黄河三门峡医院2020年3月-2023年3月收治的196例BC初诊患者作为研究对象,设为BC组;同期84例乳腺良性病变患者和行76例体格检查健康者分别作为良性病变组和对照组;同时收集临床资料.采用ELISA法检测各组血清sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平,并分析其与BC患者临床病理特征的关系;Spearman法分析影响BC患者血清sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平与临床病理特征的相关性;绘制受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线评估血清sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平对BC的诊断价值.结果:与对照组相比,良性病变组、BC组血清sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平明显升高(P<0.05),且BC组血清sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平明显高于良性病变组(P<0.05);肿瘤直径>2 cm、TNM分期为Ⅲ/Ⅳ期、淋巴结转移和ER表达为阴性的BC患者血清sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平明显升高(P<0.05),且血清 sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2 水平与肿瘤直径(r=0.463、0.442、0.481,P<0.001)、TNM分期(r=0.474、0.394、0.562,P<0.001)及淋巴结转移呈正相关(r=0.567、0.488、0.409,P<0.001),与 ER表达呈负相关(r=-0.575、-0.534、-0.538,P<0.001);血 清 sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2 单独诊断 BC 的 AUC分别为0.817、0.814、0.830,联合诊断效果优于单独诊断(AUC=0.911,95%C/=0.871~0.942).结论:BC患者血清中sB7-H3、TFF1、LCN-2水平明显升高,三者联合诊断BC的临床价值较高.
Abstract
Objective:To investigate the diagnosis value of serum levels of soluble B7-H3(sB7-H3),trefoil factor 1(TFF1)and lipocalin-2(LCN-2)in breast cancer(BC)patients.Methods:From March 2020 to March 2023,196 newly diagnosed BC patients accepted by Huanghe San-menxia hospital were regarded as the study subjects and assigned to the BC group;84 patients with benign breast lesions and 76 physically healthy individuals served as the benign lesion group and the control group,respectively;clinical data were collected.ELISA method was applied to de-tect the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 in each group,and the relationship between the serum levels of the three and the clinical and pathological characteristics of BC patients was analyzed;Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum sB7-H3,TFF1,LCN-2 levels and clinical pathological characteristics in BC patients;receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 levels for BC.Results:Compared with the reference group,the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 in the benign lesion group and BC group were obviously increased(P<0.05),the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 in the BC group were obviously higher than those in the benign lesion group(P<0.05);the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 were obviously elevated in BC patients with tumour diameter>2 cm,TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ,lymph node metastasis,and negative ER expression(P<0.05),the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1 and LCN-2 were positively correlated with tumor diameter(r=0.463,0.442,0.481,P<0.001),positive correla-tion with TNM stage(r=0.474,0.394,0.562,P<0.001),positive correlation with lymph node me-tastasis(r=0.567,0.488,0.409,P<0.001),and negative correlation with ER expression(r=-0.575,-0.534,-0.538,P<0.001);the AUC for serum sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 alone for BC diagnosis were 0.817,0.814,and 0.830,respectively,and the combined diagnosis was superior to the separate diagnosis(AUC=0.911,95%CI:0.871-0.942).Conclusion:The serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1 and LCN-2 in BC patients were significantly increased,which is of high clinical value for the diagnosis of BC.
