PG - e28419 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000028419 [doi] LID - e28419 AB - To detect the expression of interlerukin-22 (IL-22) and associated genes and to evaluate their relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).The expression of IL-22 and associated genes were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and real time polymerase chain reaction in LSCC tissues from 30 patients and adjacent non-tumor tissues. A statistical analysis was implemented to assess the relationship among levels of expression, clinicopathological factors, and overall survival.The expression of IL-22 and interleukin 22 receptor 1 (IL-22R1) was mainly located in the cytoplasm, and the expression of LSCC was significantly higher than in controls. The expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 distributed in the cell nucleus, which was significantly higher in LSCC than in controls. The expression of IL-22 and IL-22R1 was associated with metastasis of lymph node and clinical stage of LSCC. Overall survival of LSCC was significantly poorer with higher expression of IL-22 and IL-22R1 than in those with lower expression.The present research indicated that the increased level of IL-22 and IL-22R1 may be related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of LSCC. IL-22 may be the important biomarker, which need further research. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
