ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the quantification and significance of Msx2, topoII-α; HPV16 and VEGF in sinonasal inverted papilloma(SNIP), to study the correlation among the four factors,and to discover the relationship between Msx2 and topoII-α in the process of SNIP malignant transfomation.@*METHOD@#Real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of Msx2, topoII-α, HPV16 and VEGF in 13 cases of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), 10 cases of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma(NSCC) and 10 cases of inflammatory nasal polyp paraffin (INP)tissues. According to the pathology results SNIP were divided into mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia and severe dysplasia. All the data were analysised by SPSS17. 0, P<0. 05 was refered to statistically significant difference.@*RESULT@#The mRNA level of Msx2, topoII-α, VEGF and HPV16 in SNIP, NSCC tissues were significantly higher than in the INP tissues (P<0. 05). The expression differences of Msx2, topoII-α, HPV16 and VEGF mRNA level in SNIP tissues which were divided into three groups according to their pathological results,were all statistically significantly different between any two of the three groups (P< 0. 05). Using Pearson correlation coefficient analysis,we found positive correlation between any two of the mRNA level of Msx2, topoII-α, VEGF and HPV16 (P<0. 05).@*CONCLUSION@#Msx2 and topoII-α may play an important role in the process of SNIP Malignant transformation,which may be new targets for gene therapy of SNIP and NSCC.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and significance of muscle segment homeobox2 (Msx2) and topo II-alpha in sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), and the relationship in the process of malignant transformation of SNIP.@*METHOD@#Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in 32 cases of SNIP, 30 cases of inflammatory nasal polyp (INP) and 30 cases of SNIP with carcinoma. According to the pathology results, SNIP were divided into mild atypical hyperplasia, moderate atypical hyperplasia and severe atypical hyperplasia.@*RESULT@#The mean optical density of Msx2 in SNIP and SNIP with carcinoma tissues were 0.2183 +/- 0.0598 and 0.2521 +/- 0.0761,which were significantly higher than 0.1878 +/- 0. 0372 in the INP tissue (P<0.05 or 0.01). The mean optical density of topo II-alpha in SNIP and SNIP with carcinoma tissues were 0.2303 +/- 0.0397 and 0.2666 +/- 0.0483, which were significantly higher than 0.1978 +/- 0.0388 in the NIP tissue (P<0.01). There were significant difference of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in SNIP between any two of the three groups divided according to pathological morphology (P<0.01 or 0.05). The expression of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in SNIP were positively correlated (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Msx2 and topo II-alpha may play an important role in the occurrence and development of SNIP. So it can be used as new therapeutic targets.
