To study the gene expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C (VEGF-C) in laryngeal carcinoma and their relation with clinic pathologic features.
VEGF and VEGF C gene expression in 20 cases of fresh laryngeal carcinoma, cutting edge and normal tissue were examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
The gene expression of VEGF and VEGF-C is different among laryngeal carcinoma, cutting edge and normal tissue in the same patient. In laryngeal carcinoma, the gene expression of VEGF, VEGF-C were not associated with age, sex, site, T stage and histological grade of differentiation. Expression of VEGF, VEGF-C in laryngeal carcinoma was significantly higher in lymph node positive group than in lymph node negative group.
VEGF, VEGF-C have prognostic significance in laryngeal carcinoma.
研究血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和血管内皮生长因子C(VEGF-C)在喉癌中的基因表达及其与临床病理特征的关系。
采用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测20例新鲜喉癌组织、手术切缘组织及正常组织中VEGF和VEGF-C基因的表达。
同一患者的喉癌组织、手术切缘组织及正常组织中VEGF和VEGF-C基因表达存在差异。在喉癌中,VEGF、VEGF-C基因表达与年龄、性别、部位、T分期及组织学分化程度无关。喉癌组织中VEGF、VEGF-C在淋巴结阳性组的表达明显高于淋巴结阴性组。
VEGF、VEGF-C在喉癌中具有预后意义。
