Abstract

Amaç: Akciğer, Anjiotensin konverting enzim 2 (ACE-2) reseptörünü en çok bulunduran organlardan birisidir. Literatürde ACE-2 ekspresyonunakciğer kanseri ile ilişkisini gösteren çok az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, akciğer kanserinde (adenokarsinom ve skuamöz hücreli akciğer karsinomunda) ve sağlıklı akciğer dokusunda ACE-2 ekspresyon düzeyini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Temel Onkoloji Anabilim Dalı Biyoarşivinde bulunan 2013-2014 yılları arasında tanı almış 67 hasta dokusunda immünohistokimya (IHC) yöntemiyle ACE-2 reseptörleri çalışılmıştır. Ekspresyon yüzde (%) olarak ışık mikroskobunda değerlendirilmiştir. Klinik bulgular ile ACE2ekspresyonu sonuçları istatistiksel yöntemle p<0,05 üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Normal doku ile kıyaslandığı zaman akciğer kanserli dokularda ACE-2 ekspresyonunun arttığını kanıtladık. Sağlıklı akciğer dokusunda ortalama ACE-2 ekspresyon yüzdesi %2.24±6.39 (%95 CI: 0.68 – 3.80), tümör dokusunda ortalama ACE-2 ekspresyon yüzdesi 9.52 ±17.14 (%95 CI: 5.34– 13.70) idi, tümör dokusunda ACE-2 ekspresyonunda anlamlı artış gözlendi (p=0.049). Tümör dokusunda ACE-2 ekspresyonu skuamöz hücreli akciğer kanserinde sağlıklı dokuya göre anlamlı olarak arttı (p=0.002) (Normal dokuda: %2.31 ±7.198, Tümöral dokuda: %15.06±21.139). ACE-2 ekspresyonunun ileri evre akciğer adenokarsinomu olgularında erken evredeki olgulara göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. ACE-2 ile EFS (Event-Free Survival; Hastalıksız Sağkalım) ve OS (overall Survival; Genel Sağkalım) arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gösterilememiştir.
Sonuç: ACE-2 ekspresyonu akciğer kanseri tümör dokusunda sağlıklı dokuya kıyasla önemli ölçüde artmıştır. Ayrıca, skuamöz hücreli akciğer kanseri ve ileri evre akciğer adenokarsinomunda erken evreye kıyasla artmış ACE-2 ekspresyonu, potansiyel olarak tanısal veya prognostik bir akciğer kanseri biyobelirteci olabileceğini düşünmemize yol açtı. Ancak daha fazla bilimsel çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

Abstract

Objective: The lung is one of the organs that contain the most angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor. There are very few studies in the literature showing the association between ACE-2 expression and lung cancer. This study aims to investigate the expression of ACE-2 in lung cancer (adenocarcinoma and squamous cell lung carcinoma) and healthy lung tissue.
Material and Method: ACE-2 receptors were studied by immunohistochemistry (IHC) method in 67 patient tissues diagnosed between 2013 and 2014 in the Bioarchive of Dokuz Eylul University Department of Basic Oncology. ACE-2 expressions were evaluated under a light microscope. Expression values were expressed as percentages (%). Clinical findings and ACE-2 expression results were evaluated with the statistical method over p<0.05. The Kaplan- Meier test evaluated the effect of ACE-2 expression on lung cancer survival.
Results: We showed that ACE-2 expression was increased in lung cancer tissues compared to healthy tissues. 2.24±6.39 (95% CI: 1.85 – 8.39) in healthy tissue, 9.52 ±17.14 (95% CI: 5.90 – 14.07) in tumor tissue (Wilcoxon test; p=0.049). ACE2 was highly expressed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) (p=0.002). (Healthy tissue: 2.31%±7.198%, Tumor tissue: 15.06±21.139%). ACE-2 expression was higher in advanced lung adenocarcinoma cases compared to early-stage cases. There was no significant correlation between ACE-2 and EFS (event-free survival) and OS (overall survival).
Conclusion: ACE-2 expression was significantly increased in lung cancer tumor tissue compared to healthy tissue. Furthermore, increased ACE-2 expression in squamous cell lung cancer and advanced-stage lung adenocarcinoma compared to early-stage led us to suggest it can potentially be a diagnostic or prognostic lung cancer biomarker. However, more scientific studies are needed
