Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(kinase-interacting protein 1) (p27(kip1)) protein expression on the occurrence and development of hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The protein expression levels of Skp2 and p27(kip1) were detected in 42 hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 15 normal hypopharyngeal mucous membrane specimens using the an immunohistochemical PV-9000 two-step method. The expression levels of Skp2 protein were significantly different in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas and normal hypopharyngeal mucous membranes (61.90 vs. 26.67%; P<0.05). By contrast, the protein expression levels of Skp2 were significantly positively correlated with tumor T stage (rs=0.329, P<0.05) and cervical lymph node metastasis (rs=0.402, P<0.05). Furthermore, the expression levels of p27(kip1) protein were significantly different in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas and normal hypopharyngeal mucous membranes (11.9 vs. 53.33%; P<0.05), while p27(kip1) protein expression was significantly negatively correlated with tumor T-stage (rs=-0.351, P<0.05) and cervical lymph node metastasis (rs=-0.371, P<0.05).
