摘要

Purpose of the study: Several studies in patients with lung cancer have shown that epidermal growth factor receptor regulates various tumorigenic processes through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin and Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk (mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)) signalling pathways. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether these pathways are implicated in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and to seek indirect evidence of a common pathogenetic pathway with lung cancer. m-RNA expression of oncogenes participating in these two signaling pathways, as well as the combined m-RNA expression of the suppressor genes R-kip and p53 in lung tissue of patients with IPF were evaluated. Basic procedures: The study population was composed by two distinct groups. Patients with IPF (n25) and control subjects who underwent thoracic surgery for reasons other than interstitial lung disease (n10). Expression analysis of the aforementioned oncogenes and suppressor genes was performed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Main findings: We found no difference in the overall m- RNA expression between controls and IPF in both investigated pathways. However, Braf has been overexpressed in IPF samples (P0.01) in contrast with K-ras that has been found downregulated (P<0.001) in comparison with controls. Principal conclusions: These findings cannot exclude the hypothesis of involvement of Akt and MAPK signalling pathways in pathogenesis of IPF. However, further investigation is needed in order to verify these data.
