But prostate cancer is the cancer that morbidity frequency is high viewed from world wide, and in the cancer of American male, morbidity rate is the 1st, and mortality ratio is the 2nd.Even if in Japan, patients with prostate cancer number also has the trend of increase in recent years, and the patient's number about 2,000 people between 1975 year then reported about 20,000 people in 2000, estimates will reach about 80,000 people at the year two thousand twenty, in the cancer of the male sex, be only second to lung cancer, morbidity rate reaches the 2nd.In addition, predict that the death toll caused by prostate cancer will reach present 1.4 times at the year two thousand twenty, estimate to become the 1st (Japan Clinic supplementary issue numbers 60 in U.S.'s mortality ratio; 44-48,2002; Prostate diseases clinical).
As the diagnosis of prostate cancer, the early detection of PSA value in blood, screening technique are famous, and are widely used, but the method does not have specificity to cancer, can raise when hypertrophy of the prostate, prostatitis even if known yet.In addition, in recent years, also report that PSA is only in proportion with prostatic simply in blood.Usually, if confirm, in blood, PSA value is high level, then confirm prostatic size, hardness etc. by rectal touch.When being suspected generation prostate cancer consumingly by above-mentioned inspection, extract living tissue and check, by haematoxylin Yihong (Hematoxylineosin) dyeing, carry out histopathologic diagnosis.In this diagnosis, by the state of the diagnosis cells such as degree of profile (gradeofatypism), degree of differentiation, judge its pernicious degree.In histopathologic diagnosis, Gleasons classification is the distinctive degree of profile classification of prostate cancer, be the method for carrying out classification according to the degree of degree of profile by 5 grades of scoring 1 ~ 5, in recent years, the method is just becoming determining that methods for the treatment of has the diagnosis of very large impact.
As the diagnosis using the material extracted during operation to carry out, the diagnosis based on TMN classification (T: primary tumo(u)r, N: lymphatic metastasis, M: far-end shifts) is considered to effective.
These diagnosises, particularly Gleasons classification, prognosis decision method as prostate cancer is widely used, itself and contacting of prognosis also have report, but present situation is in relevant field, in order to the Diagnosis and Treat that precision is more high, expect Gleasons classification, TMN by stages outside increase new diagnosis, particularly expect the appearance of molecular labeling.In addition, as mentioned above, the diagnosis of the material extracted when TMN classification etc. is as mentioned above and is used in operation, is therefore difficult to diagnose the grade malignancy of early-stage cancer.

1) detail of case load and coloration result
For the case being diagnosed as prostate cancer, use the judgement kit of Production Example 2, when being investigated by the expression of immunohistochemical staining to the LAT1 albumen in tumour cell, according to case, the dyeing reaching scoring 0 ~ 3 can be confirmed.The detail of the LAT1 scoring in Liang Ge mechanism is with shown in following table.In addition, if the result of all cases is carried out difference classification by scoring, then enforcement body A and B all has the trend that the case of scoring 0 is maximum, 3 cases of marking are few.In addition, its dye levels is also almost identical, thus judge based in the dyeing of the judgement kit of Production Example 2 without inter-agency difference.
The scoring of LAT1 protein expression in table 11 prostate cancer tissue
Experiment mechanism A Experiment mechanism B Add up to
Scoring 0 87(53.0) 5(71.0) 92(48.2)
Scoring 1 34(20.7) 0(0) 34(19.9)
Scoring 2 25(15.2) 2(28.6) 27(15.8)
Scoring 3 18(11.0) 0(0) 18(10.5)
Amount to 164 7 171
Unit: be the ratio (%) relative to number of samples in each mechanism in pathology number, ()
2) survival analysis in the LAT1 scoring of Kaplan-Meire method is employed
For 1) case, the result of Liang Ge mechanism is merged, the expression degree (LAT1 scoring) of the LAT1 albumen in tumour cell and the relation between the life cycle of case patient are utilized the method (nonparametric technique of Kaplan-Meier, Nonparametricmethod) carry out survival analysis, results verification has significant difference between LAT1 high expressed (LAT1 scoring 3) and low expression group (LAT1 scoring 0 ~ 2).Specifically, the result of P<0.001 is obtained between scoring 3 and scoring 0.As can be known from these results, in the group of LAT1 scoring 3, about half case is dead within 5 years, can confirm and mark 0 case group between have significant difference (Fig. 7).
3) transformational analysis of the LAT1 scoring of Si Ningkulaopu method is adopted
For 1) all cases, outside staining power, be divided into 3 grades to observe dyeing scope, classify by focal (less than 10%), partial (10 ~ 30%), diffuse (more than 30%).For each observations, based on the method for Si Ningkulaopu, the coefficient corresponding with dyeing scope (focal is 1, partial be 2, diffuse be 3) is multiplied by LAT1 scoring, conversion LAT1 scoring (Fig. 8).For these scorings of LAT1 through conversion, adopting with 2) identical Kaplan-Meier method carries out survival analysis, and results verification LAT1 marks and notable difference between life cycle.Can confirm in scoring more than 4, and have significant difference between scoring 0 from this result, particularly mark in the case of more than 6,90% is dead within 5 years.As previously discussed, pointing out LAT1 scoring (0 ~ 9) be converted to by using the intensity of marking to LAT1 to be multiplied by expression range factor (focal=1, partial=2, diffuse=3) to carry out survival analysis, the higher diagnosis of precision can be carried out.
(3) with the comparing of PSA
For identical case, compare with the PSA of the known specific mark as prostate cancer.In these 171 cases used, for 127 cases of PSA value recorded before perioperatively, using PSA value 4ng/mL and 10ng/mL as threshold value, use Kaplan-Meire method to carry out survival analysis, compare with the result of marking based on LAT1.In arbitrary threshold value, PSA value is used all to fail to confirm the difference between low expression group and high expressed group.During the LAT1 scoring using identical case to carry out is analyzed, confirm there is significant difference (Fig. 9) between scoring 0 group and scoring 3 groups.
(4) that classifies with Stage compares
In case group, according to information during operation, carry out stage classification at pathological TMN by stages with on the basis of the information relevant to the presence or absence of transfer during operation, carry out Kaplan-Meire survival analysis.Use Stage classification can not confirm the significant difference between 5 years survival rates, on the other hand, uses LAT1 classification, in arbitrary Stage, marks between 0 group and scoring 3 groups and all confirms there is significant difference (Figure 10).
(5) that marks with Gleasons compares
Utilize the pathological diagnosis report the test book of the biopsy material used in test, Gleasons scoring during investigation diagnosis, for 154 cases obtaining information, survival analysis is carried out by Kaplan-Meire method, when comparing with the result of marking based on LAT1, both almost obtain identical result (Figure 11).As previously discussed, present invention show and in prostate cancer diagnosis, be regarded as most important Gleasons mark the equal serviceability of the result (P=0.0008) of classifying.
(6) conclusion
According to this clinical test results, the expression of LAT1 and the life cycle of patients with prostate cancer inversely related significantly, point out its serviceability can mark with Gleasons and be equal to mutually.In addition, the present invention and the present mark as prostate cancer and the PSA that uses and for compared with representing that Stage that cancer progress degree uses classifies, also obtain good result in the grade malignancy diagnosis of cancer.
The possibility that industry utilizes
This method is good to the dyeing sensitivity of prostate tumor cells, although relevant to the characteristic of antibody, does not find non-specific responding, is also proved to be without inter-agency error.
In addition, by using this gimmick, the LAT1 that prostate tumor cells film is expressed amount is carried out visual qualitatively, prompting can the grade malignancy of diagnosis of prostate tumour cell, and then its serviceability is marked with Gleasons and is equal to, with PSA with Stage classify compare can think useful.And then this law is by immunohistochemical staining, and the LAT1 qualitatively on diagnosis cell film, classify with Gleasons, compared with other pathological diagnosis method, observation and result of determination easy.
And then wait in expectation and to combine by this gimmick and Gleasons mark, the grade malignancy of the prostate cancer making precision higher is diagnosed and is become possibility.Particularly in the diagnosis based on Gleasons classification, TMN classification, when Gleasons scoring amounts near 7, when accepting the judgement of T3N0 (so-called StageII) in addition, now there is the situation being difficult to the diagnosis carrying out prognosis, by with method of the present invention and use, helpful to these gray areas clear and definite.
Therefore, this method can be called and is, the grade malignancy of diagnosing prostate cancer, carries out prognosis judgement, the diagnosis medicine of the prostate cancer that the what is called of the treatment policy after simultaneously also determining is new.
