Expression of Fhit, hWAPL and Survivin in Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Significance Thereof

Objective To preliminarily discuss the role of fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene, human wings apart-like (hWAPL) gene, survivin gene in lymphatic metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Method Expression of FHIT, hWAPL and survivin in 30 cases of normal squamous epithelium, 30 cases of CIN III and 60 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma was detected using the immunohistochemical technique. A statistical analysis was conducted for the relationship between the expression levels of FHIT, hWAPL and survivin and clinical pathologic parameters through expression count LVD of FHIT. Results FHIT value is 1.93±0.57 in the group of normal squamous epithelium, 2.87±0.63 in the group of CIN III and 4.12±0.72 in the group of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The difference has statistical significance (P\u003c0.05). The positive expression of hWAPL in normal cervical tissues is 0.00% (0/30), the positive expression rate is 36.67% (11/30) in the group of CIN III, and the positive expression rate is 63.33% (38/60) in the group of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The difference has statistical significance (P\u003c0.01). The positive expression rate of survivin in normal cervical tissues is 0.00% (0/30), the positive expression rate is 30.00% (9/30) in the group of CIN III, the expression rate is 61.67% (37/60) in the group of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The difference has statistical significance (P\u003c0.01). Conclusion FHIT, hWAPL and survivin promote lymphangiogenesis during occurrence and progression of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and lymphangiogenesis plays a vital role in lymphatic metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
