FHIT,p53 Expression and correlation in cervical cancer

Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation and expression of fragile histidinetriad gene(FHIT) and p53 expressed in normal cervix,cervical intraepithelial neoplasia( CIN),cervial cancer( CC),and the significance of FHIT and p53 in the chnical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of cervical cancer.Methods It was performed immunohistochemieal analysis of formalin fixed,paraffin-embedded 20 normal cervical(NC) biopsies,10 CIN1 samples、20CIN Ⅱ samples、20 CINⅢ samples and 70 cervical cancer samples to detect FHIT、p53expression.Results FHIT expressed 100％ (20/20) of normal cervical,60％ (6/10) of CIN Ⅰ,40％ (8/20) of CIN Ⅱ,25％ (5/20) of CINⅢ and 3％ (2/70) of cervical cancer;positive rate among the groups was different (P ＜ 0.05 ).p53 positive expressed in 0％ (0/20) of normal cervical,20％ (2/20) of CIN Ⅰ,35 ％ ( 7/20 ) of CIN Ⅱ,55％ ( 11/20 ) of CIN Ⅲ and 70％(49/70) of cervical cancer:positive rate among the groups was different (P ＜ 0.05 ).FHIT and p53 expression was negatively correlated with CIN and cervical cancer in the cervix ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion FHIT deletion and p53 overexpression was the early and common cases with the cervical cancer,which were negatively correlated in the pathogensis and development of cervical cancer:FHIT could screen the high risk of CIN,and give the basis of cervical cancer gene therepy.
