Abstract:
To validate the expressions of G protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81), monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) 1 and MCT4 in cervical squamous carcinoma and to explore their role in the onset of cervical squamous carcinoma.
Methods: Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 in 16 normal cervical tissue and 44 cervical squamous carcinoma tissue. The associations of these proteins expression with cervical squamous carcinoma or clinicopathological factors were analyzed.
Results: The expressions of GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 in cervical squamous carcinoma tissue were higher than those in normal cervical tissue (P<0.01). In cervical squamous carcinoma group, the expressions of GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 in clinical stage I-II group were lower than those in clinical stage III-IV group, with significant difference (P<0.05). The expressions of GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 in middle-differentiated tumor group were lower than those in low-differentiated tumor group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). No difference of the expressions of GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 were found between cases with or without lymphatic metastasis (P>0.05). No correlation was found among GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 in cervical squamous carcinoma (P>0.05).
Conclusion: GPR81, MCT1 and MCT4 may be associated with the onset of cervical squamous carcinoma, and GPR81 may be associated with the progression of cervical squamous carcinoma.
