PG - 213-6 AB - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of study was to examine the mRNA expression levels of the metastasis-associated gene1 (MTA1) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), so to evaluate its relationship with metastases. METHODS: Forty-eight surgically resected primary LSCC (16 supraglotti laryngeal carcinomas with cervical lymph node metastasis, 16 supraglotti laryngeal carcinomas with cervical lymph node-negative metastasis, 16 glottic carcinoma with cervical lymph node-negative metastasis) and 16 normal laryngeal mucosa was examined for mRNA expression of MTA1 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). RESULTS: The frequency of MTA1 mRNA positive expression in 16 LSCC with cervical lymph node metastasis was 100%, but no expression of MTA1 mRNA was observed in other LSCC with cervical lymph node-negative metastasis (16 supraglotti laryngeal carcinomas and 16 glottic carcinoma) and 16 normal laryngeal mucosa. CONCLUSION: MTA1 gene is strongly related to cervical lymph node metastasis of LSCC, and may serve as a early diagnosis indicator.
