Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of CDK4 and p16 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) tissues.
METHOD:The expressions of CDK4 and p16 in 30 cases of LSCC tissues and 20 cases of edge tissues were detected by immunohistochemical technology SP method, and discuss their correlation with clincial pathology and clinical stage of LSCC.
RESULT:The positive rates of CDK4 and p16 were 63. 3 %,46. 7% in LSCC tissues, and the positive rates were 25%, 90% in edge tissues. The expression of CDK4 in LSCC tissues was significantly higher than that in edge tissues(P<0. 05), which was not associated with the clincial pathology and clinical stage(P> 0. 05); The expression of p16 in LSCC tissues was significantly lower than that in edge tissues(P<0. 05), it was associated with the clincial pathology (P<0. 05), but not associated with clinical stage(P>0. 05) ;there is a negative correlation between CDK4 and p16 (r= -0. 786, P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Low expression of p16 and high expression of CDK4 may play an important role in the development of LSCC and the low expression of p16 in LSCC tissue could be used as important reference markers of malignant degree of tumour.
