| Abstract |
Objectives: Expression of HMGI(Y), a nucleoprotein that binds to A/T rich sequences in the minor groove of the DNA helix, is observed in neoplastically transformed cells but not in normal cells. We have analyzed HMGI(Y), p53 expression and Ki-67 labelling index in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, and evaluated its clinicopathologic significance.
Materials and Methods: 40 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were entered on the study of immunohistochemical stains for HMGI(Y), p53 and Ki-67. We analyzed the relationship between HMGI(Y), p53, Ki-67 expression and age, sex, primary tumor site, stage, survival rate, recurrence.
Results
HMGI(Y) expression evidenced by immunohistochemical staining was observed in 35 of 40 (87.5%) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. But no significant correlation was observed between HMGI(Y) expression and other clinical factors such as primary site, tumor stage, differenciation, cervical lymph node, metastasis, recurrence and immunohistochemical status of p53. The Ki-67 labelling index was significantly correlated with recurrence and HMGI(Y) expression (p<0.05).
Conclusion
: This results suggest the Ki-67 is a good prognostic factor and the HMGI (Y) expression plays some roles in carcinogenesis and cellular proliferation of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. HMGI (Y) gene can be used as a cancer marker, the correlation between the gene expression and the prognosis of the cancer patient should be proved in the future studies. |
