PG - 872-3, 877 AB - OBJECTIVE: To observe expression of stathmin gene in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and relation between expression of stathmin gene and occurrence and development of LSCC. METHOD: The expression of the stathmin gene was determined in 35 LSCC of specimens and 18 normal laryngeal tissues (NLT) of specimens by in situ hybridization with Digoxigenin labeled probe of stathmin mRNA. RESULT: Expression of stathmin gene was observed in 35 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue (positive rate, 69%) and positive signal was observed in both cytoplasm and nuclear. Among 18 cases of normal tissue, only 6 showed weak positive signal. There was significant difference in expression of stathmin gene between laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and normal tissue. CONCLUSION: Expression of stathmin gene may play a key role in the pathogenesis and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. It may be a very important biotherapy target in the treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
