PG - 132-6 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.issn.0253-3766.2012.02.011 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of HMGB1 protein in tissue specimens of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and adjacent normal mucosa, and explore the correlation of HMGB1 protein expression with clinicopathologic features and prognosis in LSCC. METHODS: Ninty-three cases of LSCC and 5 cases of adjcent mucosal tissue samples were included in this study. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on paraffin-embedded tissue specimens to examine the HMGB1 protein expression. The data were futher correlated with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the LSCC patients. RESULTS: The positive rates of HMGB1 expression in LSCC specimens was 87.1%, significantly higher than that in the adjcent normal mucosa samples (46.7%, P = 0.001), and its overexpresion was closely correlated with T stage (Chi2 = 10.878, P = 0.004), clinical stage (Chi2 = 21.115, P < 0.01), metastasis (Chi2 = 28.298, P < 0.01) and recurrence (Chi2 = 14. 923, P = 0.001) in patients with LSCC. Patients with HMGB1 overexpression had both poorer disease-free survival and poorer overall survival compared with that in patients with low HMGB1 expression (Chi2 = 13.815, Chi2 = 11.912; Both P < 0.01). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that HMGBI expression is an independent prognostic factor for patients with LSCC. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrate that HMGB1 protein expression is significantly increased in LSCC tissues, and HMGB1 protein overexpression is associated with a poorer prognosis in patients with LSCC. These results suggest that HMGB1 may play a critical role in the initiation and progression of LSCC, implicating HMGB1 may become a valuable marker for the prediction of prognosis in patients with LSCC.
