Abstract

Background/aims: Tissue polypeptide specific antigen was first defined by Bjorklund in 1967 and is the specific M3 epitope of tissue polypeptide antigen. It is increased in malignant as well as in some benign diseases. The level of tissue polypeptide specific antigen in serum is related mostly with proliferation capacity rather than with tumor mass and cell necrosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen and other tumor markers in patients with liver cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis and hepatoma to determine if tissue polypeptide specific antigen is superior to other tumor markers in hepatoma patients. Methods: Thirty-seven patients and 20 controls were included in the study. The patients were divided into three subgroups as cirrhosis, hepatoma and chronic active hepatitis. The levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9, alpha-fetoprotein and transaminases were determined in all patients. Results: Tissue polypeptide specific antigen levels were significantly higher in all patients than in the control group (p<0.005) According to Kruskal-Wallis test with regard to subgroups, the differences in mean values of tissue polypeptide specific antigen and alpha-fetoprotein were highly significant (p: 0.0001 for both). There was a low correlation between tissue polypeptide specific antigen and alpha-fetoprotein in the cirrhotic and hepatoma groups, but these were significantly correlated in the chronic active hepatitis group. The correlation coefficient between tissue polypeptide specific antigen and transaminases in all patients was low. Conclusions: Our data suggest that tissue polypeptide specific antigen is efficient in determining primary hepatoma patients and also that this marker is specific for proliferation of cells.

Özet

Amaç: Doku polipeptid spesifik antijen ilk kez 1957'de Bjorklund tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Doku polipeptid antijeninin spesifik M3 epitopudur.Sadece malign hastalıklarda değil bazı benign olaylarda da yükselir. Doku polipeptid spesifik antijeninin serum düzeyi, tümör kitlesi ve nekrozdan çok proliferasyon kapasitesi ile ilişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, karaciğer sirozlu, kronik aktif hepatitli ve hepatomalı hastalarda doku polipeptid spesifik antijen ve diğer tümör markerlarının düzeylerini belirlemek ve hepatomalı hastaları belirlemede doku polipeptid spesifik antijeninin diğer tümör markerlarına üstün olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 37 hasta ve 20 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edildi. Hastalar 3 altgruba ayrıldı:siroz, hepatoma, kronik aktif hepatit. Bütün hastalarda doku polipeptid spesifik antijenin, karsinoembriyonik antijenin, CA19-9'un, alpha-fetoproteinin ve transaminazların düzeyleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Bütün hasta grubunda doku polipeptid spesifik antijen değerleri kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p<0.005). Kruskal walis testine göre gruplar arasında doku polipeptid spesifik antijeninin ve alpha-fetoproteininin ortalama değerleri arasındaki farklar anlamlı idi (p<0.0001). Tanılara göre doku polipeptid spesifik antijeni ve alpha-fetoproteinin arasında sirozlu ve hepatomalı hastalarda zayıf korelasyon mevcutken kronik aktif hepatitli hastalarda yüksek korelasyon saptandı. Bütün hastalarda doku polipeptid spesifik antijen ve transaminazlar arasında düşük korelasyon mevcuttu. Sonuçlar: Bulgularımız doku polipeptid spesifik antijenin primer hepatomalı hastaların tespitinde yararlı olabileceğini ve bu markerın hücre proliferasyonu için spesifik olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
