Expression of KAI1, human papillomavirus E6 and E7 proteins in cervical cancer and their significances / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the infection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and the expression of tumor metastasis suppressor protein KAI1 in cervical cancer.Methods The expression of KAH,HPV16/18E6 and HPV16E7 proteins were analyzed by immunohistochemistry SP assay in 117 cases of paraffin-embedded cervical tissue,including 20 normal cerival tissue as control,58 intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and 39 cervical cancer.Results In normal cervical tissue,CIN and cervical cancer,the positive rate of KAI1 protein were respectively 90.0 ％ (18/20),72.4 ％ (42/58),25.6 ％ (10/39).There was significant differience among three gruop (P ＜ 0.01).The positive rate of HPV16/18E6 and HPV16E7 proteins were respectively 0 (0/20),31.0 ％ (18/58),41.0 ％ (16/39); 0 (0/20),34.5 ％ (20/58),64.1％ (25/39).There were significant differience among three gruops (P ＜ 0.01).There was no correlation between the expression of KAI1 and the infection of HPV (P =0.429).Expression of KAI1 was correlated to grade of differentiation,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05),but was not correlated to age (P ＞ 0.05).HPV infection was not correlated to the age,clinical stage,cell differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The expression of KAI1 protein is down-regulated in cervical cancer,which is not associated with the infection of HPV.
