PG - e36066 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000036066 [doi] LID - e36066 AB - As an important member of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, the aberrant expression of beta-catenin has been implicated in many cancers. Chibby, a beta-catenin binding partner, is an antagonist involved in this pathway. In contrast, thyroid cancer 1 (TC1) as an activator of this pathway can relieve the antagonistic activity of Chibby on the beta-catenin-mediated transcription and is high expressed in human tumors. The objectives of this study were to examine the expression of TC1, Chibby, and beta-catenin and investigate the association among them in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The expression of TC1, Chibby, beta-catenin, c-Myc, Cyclin D1, and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) were examined by immunohistochemistry in samples from 53 LSCC patients. Compared with normal laryngeal squamous epithelium (NLSE), there were upregulated expression of TC1, downregulated expression of Chibby, and aberrant cytoplasmic expression of beta-catenin in the LSCC tissues (P < .001). The high expression of TC1 was correlated with the tumor site, advanced TNM and T stage, lymphovascular invasion, and poor differentiation in LSCC tissues (P < .050). There were correlations between the aberrant expression of beta-catenin and the tumor site, advanced TNM and T stage, lymphovascular invasion, perineurial invasion, and poor differentiation in LSCC tissues (P < .050). Upregulated TC1 and downregulated Chibby were correlated with aberrant expression of beta-catenin (P < .001), but no correlation between them (P = .076). The percent of abnormal expression of beta-catenin in LSCC was 96.00% in TC1+/Chibby-, 73.68% in TC1+/Chibby+, 0.00% in TC1-/Chibby-, and 0.00% in TC1-/Chibby + group (P < .001). High expression of c-Myc, Cyclin D1, and MMP-7 was observed in LSCC tissues (P < .001). There was statistically significant about the expression of Cyclin D1 and MMP-7 among the groups of TC1+/Chibby-, TC1+/Chibby+, TC1-/Chibby-, and TC1-/Chibby + (P < .001), but was not significance about the expression of c-Myc among them (P = .339). No association was found between overall survival and the expression of TC1, Chibby, and beta-catenin (P > .05). The upregulated expression of TC1 and downregulated expression of Chibby were correlated with the aberrant expression of beta-catenin and the high expression of Cyclin D1 and MMP-7 in LSCC tissues.
