Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship of clinical pathological features and FOXC1 expression in NPC tissues.Methods 101 cases of nasopharyngeal tissues and 64 cases of chronic inflammatory nasopharyngeal mucosa tissue were selected and detected by immunohistochemistry SP method,and the relationship between the ex-pression of FOXC1 and the clinical pathological features were analyzed.Results The expression of Foxc1 in nasopha-ryngeal carcinoma and nasopharyngeal mucosa inflammatory tissue mainly located in the nucleus,the positive expres-sion rate (84.16%)in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)was significantly higher than that in chronic nasopharynge-al mucosa (44.44%),(χ2 =65.213,P<0.05).There was no significant relationship among FOXC1 positive expres-sion and sex,age,and clinical stage.FOXC1 positive expression with lymph node metastasis was higher than that with-out lymph node metastasis.Conclusion The expression of FOXC1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues is significant-ly up-regulated,which may play an important role in the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma,and has a guid-ing significance for clinical diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
