To evaluate the expression of endothelin-1(ET-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in laryngeal carcinoma and their correlations with clinical features.
The expression of ET-1 and MMP-9 was detected by immunohistochemical method in 58 specimens of laryngeal carcinoma, 28 specimens of polyps of vocal cord and 19 specimens of normal laryngeal tissues.
The expressions of ET-1, MMP-9 in laryngeal carcinoma were remarkably higher,compared to polyps of vocal cord and normal laryngeal tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of ET-1, MMP-9 was associated with clinical stage, T stage and lymph node metastasis. Expression levels of ET-land MMP-9 correlated significantly with each other (r(s) = 0.693, P < 0.05).
The expression of ET-1 and MMP-9 may be the vital indexes in laryngeal carcinoma.
评估内皮素-1(ET-1)和基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)在喉癌中的表达及其与临床特征的相关性。
采用免疫组织化学方法检测58例喉癌标本、28例声带息肉标本和19例正常喉组织标本中ET-1和MMP-9的表达。
与声带息肉和正常喉组织相比,喉癌中ET-1、MMP-9的表达明显更高(P < 0.05)。ET-1、MMP-9的表达与临床分期、T分期及淋巴结转移相关。ET-1和MMP-9的表达水平彼此显著相关(r(s)=0.693,P < 0.05)。
ET-1和MMP-9的表达可能是喉癌的重要指标。
