ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between ?-catenin gene expression and the mechanism of tumorigenesis, development and metastasis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods RT-PCR method was used to detect the mRNA expression of ?-catenin in normal human nasopharyngeal tissues and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Results The results showed that ?-catenin expression in 11 out of 15 nasopharyngeal carcinoma specimens was decreased (73.3%). Conclusion The abnormal expression of ?-catenin changed in the normal adhesive function and the signal transduction pathway of the cell in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma, indicating that the expression level of ?-catenin was a biological marker of tumorigenesis and development of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
