Foxp3 is correlated with VEGF-C expression and lymphangiogenesis in cervical cancer

چکیده
BACKGROUND Recent observations revealed Foxp3 participated in the development of cervical cancer. Furthermore, Foxp3 has a vital function in the lymphatic metastasis of cervical cancer. However, it is unclear whether Foxp3 is correlated with lymphangiogenesis of cervical cancer. METHODS In this experiment, expression of Foxp3 and VEGF-C was detected in 50 cervical cancer samples by immunohistochemistry. In addition, we evaluated the association between Foxp3 and VEGF-C expression and lymphangiogenesis of cervical cancer evaluated by lymphatic vessel density. RESULTS These data demonstrate Foxp3 is positively correlated with VEGF-C expression. Furthermore, Foxp3 is associated with lymphangiogenesis of cervical cancer. CONCLUSIONS These results revealed Foxp3 play an important role in lymphangiogenesis of cervical cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION Gunagdong Medical University, PJ2013049.

Peritumoral lymphatic vessel density and vascular endothelial growth factor C expression in early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
PURPOSE Lymphatic invasion and nodal metastasis plays a major role in the spread of cervical cancer; however, little is known about the mechanisms whereby tumor cells enter the lymphatic system. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined the intra- and peritumoral lymphatic vessel density (LVD) using D2-40 immunohistochemistry in 111 cervical squamous cell carcinomas and correlated them with vascular en...
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology SIX1 Promotes Tumor Lymphangiogenesis by Coordinating TGFb Signals That Increase Expression of VEGF-C
Lymphatic vessels are one of the major routes for the dissemination of cancer cells. Malignant tumors release growth factors such as VEGF-C to induce lymphangiogenesis, thereby promoting lymph node metastasis. Here, we report that sine oculis homeobox homolog 1 (SIX1), expressed in tumor cells, can promote tumor lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis by coordinating with TGFb to increase t...

متن کاملIncreased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C in papillary thyroid carcinoma correlates with cervical lymph node metastases.
PURPOSE Despite recent studies showing that vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) mRNA is up-regulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the role of VEGF-C in lymph node metastasis is still unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression pattern of VEGF-C immunoreactive protein in PTC and its relationship with cervical lymph node metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tis...
