Abstract
AIM: To ingestigate the expression of β1-integrin in human esophageal carcinoma and its correlation with clinical pathology.
METHODS: The expression of β1-integrin mRNA was detected in 30 cases of esophageal carcinoma and cancer-adjacent tissues by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
RESULTS: The expression of β1-integrin mRNA in esophageal carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in the normal esophageal tissues (1.205 ± 0.379 vs 0.470 ± 0.166, P = 0.003), and it was also markedly higher in the cases with metastasis than that in the ones without metastasis (1.534 ± 0.229 vs 0.998 ± 0.160, P = 0.023). With the elevation of histological grading, the expression of β1-integrin mRNA was also increased.
CONCLUSION: β1-integrin may play an important role in the malignant biological behavior of esophageal carcinoma.
