Abstract:
Objective To study the expression of vimentin in the tongue mucosa carcinogenesis and to explore its significance in the invasion and metastasis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma .Methods The occurrence of tongue squamous cell carcinoma in rat was induced by means of 4NQO water solution ,and 56 cases in total were collected in the cancerous process ,including normal tongue mucosa ,epithelial hyperplasia ,mild dysplasia ,moderate dysplasia ,severe dysplasia and the tongue tissue specimen of squa‐mous cell carcinoma .The immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate protein expression and real‐time fluorescent quantitative PCR method was used to obtain the expression quantity of mRNA .Results In immunohistochemistry ,with the increase of degree of rat tongue mucosa dysplasia ,the positive rate of vimentin expression increases obviously .The difference between groups was statistical‐ly significant (χ2 =10 .685 ,P<0 .05) .Lesion groups compared with normal group ,their mRNA expression differences all hold sta‐tistical significance(P<0 .05);Mild dysplasia ,moderate dysplasia ,severe dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma groups were com‐pared with epithelial hyperplasia group .The difference between squamous cell carcinoma group and epithelial hyperplasia group was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .mRNA expression of epithelial hyperplasia ,mild dysplasia ,moderate dysplasia and severe dys‐plasia were respectively 1 .22 times ,1 .28 times ,1 .29 times and 1 .42 times of that of the normal group .Conclusion During rat tongue carcinogenesis induced by 4NQO ,the expression of vimentin was increased with the increase of the degree of pathological change ,which is closely related to the invasion of tumor and could be regarded as a predictor of tongue squamous cell carcinoma .
