Abstract
AIM: To investigate the expression of Gstp and HnRNPA2/B1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to analyze their clinical significance.
METHODS: Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Gstp and HnRNPA2/B1 in 68 ESCC tissues and 48 normal esophageal tissues, and their correlations with the clinicopathologic characteristics of ESCC were analyzed.
RESULTS: The positive rates of Gstp and HnRNPA2/B1 expression were significantly higher in ESCC than in normal esophageal tissues (60.3% vs 27.1%, 54.4% vs 29.1%, P < 0.05). Gstp expression had no significant correlation with gender, age, ethnicity, tumor size or infiltration depth (P > 0.05), but was significantly correlated with tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P < 0.05). HnRNPA2/B1 expression had no significant correlation with gender, age, national, tumor size or infiltration depth (P > 0.05), but was significantly correlated with tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Gstp and HnRNPA2/B1 may play a role in the occurrence and development of ESCC. Gstp and HnRNPA2/B1 expression may be used to judge the malignant degree of ESCC.
