Expression of pituritary tumor transforming gene and basic fibroblast growth factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma and related clinical importance / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in oral squamous cell carcinoma and their relation with each other, as well as the relationship of their expression with clinical-pathological indexes. Methods: The expression of PTTG and bFGF were examined among 55 oral squamous cell carcinoma tissues and 10 normal oral mucosal tissues by the streptavidin-biotinperoxidase (S-P) method. Results:The positive rate of PTTG and bFGF was 78.2% and 67.3% respectively in oral squamous cell carcinoma. The positive rate and grade of PTTG and bFGF were significantly higher than that in the normal mucosa tissues (P
