Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of Ezrin and phos-ezrin in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC),and to an alyze their clinic significance.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Ezrin and phos-Ezrin in 20 cases of normal skin,31 cases of seborrheic Keratosis (SK),36 cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC),and 37 cases of SCC.Results (1) The positive rates of Ezrin in normal skin (NS),SK,BCC,and SCC were 20.0%,25.8%,66.7%,and 89.2%,respectively.The positive reates of phos-Ezrin in NS,SK,BCC,and SCC were 10.0 %,22.6%,77.8%,and 94.6%,respectively.Ezrin and phos ezrin in cancers were higher than that in noncancer tissues (P < 0.01).(2) The expressions of Ezrin,and phos-Ezrin were closely correlated with the cutaneous tumor's type(R1 =0.87,r1 =0.89,P < 0.01),malignant degree (patho-grading of SCC) (R2 =0.80,r2=0.86,P < 0.01),metastasis via lymph node (R3 =0.89,r3 =0.91,P < 0.01).Conclusions Ezrin and phos-Ezrin expressions were closely related to the types of tumor,malignant degrees,and metastasis.The combined-detection of Ezrin and phos-ezrin would provide a novel clue to predicting metastasis and prognosis of cutaneous tumor.
