Overexpression of Tyrosine Phosphatase Containing c-Src Homology SH-2 in Condyloma Acuminatum / 中华皮肤科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the expression of tyrosine phosphatase containing c-Src homology SH2 (SHP-2) in condyloma acuminatum. Methods Phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 were detected in skin lesions of 30 patients with condyloma acuminatum, tumor tissues of 13 cases of cervical cancer and normal foreskin tissues of 11 normal controls by SP immunohistochemical stain. Results In the foreskin tissue, the phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 were mainly expressed on the nuclei of kerotinocytes adjacent to the basal layer, and the number of cells with positive expression was not so many. In condyloma acuminatum, the positive cells arranged in patches, phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 distributed in the cytoplasm. In cervical cancer, the expression of phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 were mainly in the cytoplasm, diffusely distributed, and not in the nuclei. The positive expression rates of phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 in condyloma acuminatum and cervical cancer were 96.67% (29/30) and 100% (13/13), respectively. However the cytoplasm of normal foreskin showed negative expression(0/11). Conclusions There is an aberrant activation of phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 in condyloma acuminatum and cervical cancer. SHP-2 may play an important role in the carcinogenesis.
