The expression of CEACAM-1 and CXCL-14 in infantile hemangioma / 中华整形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the expression of CEACAM-land CXCL-14 in the different stages of infantile hemangioma and to explore the role of CEACAM-1 and CXCL-14 in the occurrence and development of infantile hemangioma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of CEACAM-1 and CXCL-14 was detected by immunohistochemical technique and Western Blot in cases of proliferating hemangiomas, involuting hemangiomas, involuted hemangiomas. The mean optical density was measured by image analysis system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of CEACAM-1 in early stage of proliferating hemangiomas was weak or negative, while it was strong in involuting hemangiomas and positive in the involuted stage. The differences between different stages had a statistically significance (P < 0.05). The expression of CXCL-14 was weak or negative in stage of proliferating hemangiomas, positive in involuting hemangiomas and strong in the involuted stage. The differences between different stages had a statistically significance (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CEACAM-1 and CXCL-14 are involved in the occurrence and development of infantile hemangioma.</p>
