HIF-1αprotein expression in oral submucous fibrosis tissue / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effects of HIF-1αprotein in the pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis(OSF)tissue.Meth-ods:HIF-1αprotein expression in 30 cases of OSF,5 cases of normale control oral mucosa tissue was studied by SP immunohisto-chemistry with HIF-1αrabbit anti-human polyclonal antibody.Results:The negative expression of HIF-1αwas found in normal oral mucoa tissue and possitive in early,intermediate and advanced stage of OSF(P<0.05 ).Conclusion:HIF-1αprotein may play an importent role in the pathogenesis of OSF.
