ABSTRACT: Objective Microheterogeneity is an important problem in molecularly biological and proteomic research on malignancies. The goal of this study was to investigate the method to purify targeted cells in lung cancer and its paired normal tissues for proteomic study on lung cancer applying laser capture microdissection (LCM). Methods LCM technique was emploged to obtain the cells of lung cancer tissues and their paired normal tissues from frozen sections. Results LCM can be applied to quickly and precisely obtain pure targeted cells subgroup or single cell without interstitium under the microscope. Conclusion LCM can tackle the problem of tissue heterogeneity in molecular analysis successfully. These results indicate that LCM has a potential as a tool in lung cancer proteomic research.

蛋白质组学是当今肿瘤学研究领域中的一个热点,而“差异”蛋白质组学又是蛋白质组学研究的一个突破口。在有关“差异”的研究中,若原始样品不是分别来自同一类型,或样品存在着杂质蛋白的污染,那么所得实验数据的准确性和说服力必然会受到影响[1]。众所周知,人体组织器官是多种细胞的复合,肿瘤组织的不均一性是肿瘤细胞的重要特征。因此,如何从复杂、不均一的样品中获得理想的高同质性的组分成为实验中亟需解决的主要问题之一。激光捕获显微切割(laser capture microdissection, LCM)技术的出现为上述问题提供很好的解决方案。该方法的突出特点是能在目视下从样品中特异挑选同类细胞乃至单一细胞;从而剔除间质细胞和坏死
