Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the functional mechanism of metadherin (MTDH), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and transketolase-like gene 1 (TKTL1) and their interaction with each other in laryngeal carcinoma development.
METHOD:Thirty laryngeal carcinoma samples and 20 samples of para-carcinoma tissue were taken from the patients received operation treatment. The expression levels of MTDH, HIF-1α and TKTL1 were detected in all the samples by SP immunohistochemical methods. The data were analyzed by the SPSS13.0 statistical software.
RESULT:The positive expression rate of MTDH, HIF-1α and TKTL1 in the 30 cases of laryngeal carcinoma was 56.67%, 60.00% and 63.33%, respectively, which was 20.00%,10.00% and 15.00% respectively in the para-carcinoma tissue, the difference of the positive expression rate of the tested objects between these two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Of the 30 cases of laryngeal carcinoma, the positive expression rate of MTDH, HIF-1α and TKTL1 in the cases with lymphnode metastasis was 84.62%, 84.62% and 79.62%, respectively, compared with the rate in those without lymph nodes metastasis, which was 35.29%, 41.18% and 35.29%. The difference of the positive expression rate of the tested objects between these two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the tissue of poorly differentiated squamons cell carcinoma verified by pathology, the positive expression rates of MTDH and HIF-1α was 73.68% and 84.21%, respectively, while that in the tissue of well differentiated squamous carcinoma was 27.27% and 18.18%. The difference of the positive expression rate of the tested objects between these two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05 or (P < 0.01). The positive expression rate of TKTL1 in laryngeal carcinoma at stage I-II was 25.00% and that at stage III-IV was 72.22%, the difference between which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of HIF-1α in laryngeal carcinoma at stage I-II was 33.33% and that at stage III-IV was 77. 78%, the difference between which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The expression of MTDH, HIF-1α and TKTL1 showed no relationship with age,smoking amount or the tumor location (P > 0.05). The Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed that the positive expression rates of MTDH and HIF-1α in laryngeal carcinoma had positive correlation (r = 0.384, P < 0.05); the positive expression rates of TKTL1 and HIF-1α in laryngeal carcinoma had positive correlation (r = 0.508, P < 0.01); But there was no significant correlation between the positive expression rates of MTDH and TKTL1 in laryngeal carcinoma (r = -0.107, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION:It suggested that these three proteins may have close relationship with the occurrence, invasion and metastasis of the laryngeal carcinoma. MTDH and TKTL1 may be expected to be new clinical targets for laryngeal carcinoma treatment and it could offer theoretical basis for the prognosis of the laryngeal carcinoma.
