Expression of the Fragile Histidine Triad Gene in Laryngeal Carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate Fragile Histidine Triad Gene (FHIT) expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The paraffin embedded tissue blocks of 64 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma specimens were enrolled in the study. FHIT expression was detected by an immunohistochemical method. Rabbit polyclonal antibody was used for immunohistochemical study. FHIT expression was low in 40.6% of patients and high in 59.6% of patients. Results were compared with clinicopathological variables. There was a significant correlation between high FHIT expression and lymph node metastasis (p<0.05). There was no significant correlation between FHIT expression and age, histological grade, perineural invasion and vascular invasion. In conclusion, FHIT may be accepted to play a role in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tumorigenesis as a tumor suppressor gene.

Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) serves a critical function as a tumor suppressor that inhibits p53 degradation by mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). The functional domains of FHIT involved in tumor inhibition was interpreted. In-silico screening data were employed to construct truncated forms of FHIT to assess their cytotoxic effects on the HT1080 cell line. Full FHIT expression was confirmed by west...

The fragile histidine triad (FHIT), frequently lost in many cancers, was identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene at chromosome 3p locus 14.2. Loss of the FHIT protein because of the alteration or loss of heterozygosity by genetic deletion occurs in a variety of epithelial tumors including head and neck cancer. However, the biological function of the FHIT protein is still unknown and its...

Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) is a tumour suppressor gene, which is altered in a variety of epithelial tumours, including lung cancer. Biochemical and functional pathways of its tumourigenicity are not yet understood. Its role in tumour proliferation is particularly controversial. The purpose of this study was to correlate the expression of FHIT protein in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) wit...

The fragile histidine triad (Fhit) gene, which is frequently lost in many cancers, was identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene at chromosome 3p locus 14.2. Loss of Fhit expression is an important step in tumor progression from premalignancy, to in situ, to invasive breast carcinoma. To determine whether the absence of Fhit protein correlates with other established pathological-clinical ...
