Abstract

Nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors are increasingly implicated in cancer progression, but their expression in cervical cancer is unclear. The objective of this study was to define the protein expression of NGF, its precursor (proNGF), as well as their receptors, the tyrosine kinase receptor TrkA, the common neurotrophin receptor p75NTR and the pro-neurotrophin receptor sortilin in cervical cancer. Immunohistochemistry was performed in a cohort of cervical cancers (n = 287), including the two major subtypes of the disease: squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and adenocarcinomas (AC). Normal cervical tissues (n = 28) were also analyzed. Protein expression was determined by computer-based digital quantification of staining intensity and comparative statistical analyses were made with clinicopathological parameters including histological subtype, age, grade, tumor size, lymph node invasion, and stage. The expression of NGF, proNGF, TrkA, p75NTR, and sortilin was higher in cervical cancer compared to normal cervical tissues. NGF and TrkA were found overexpressed in SCC compared to AC (P = .0006 and P < .0001, respectively). The expression of NGF (P = .0053), proNGF (P = .0022), and p75NTR (P = .0002), but not that of TrkA or sor...Continue Reading
