Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the protein expressions of Maspin and P53 in condyloma acuminatum lesions, and to explore their possible roles in the pathogenesis of condyloma acuminatum. Methods:In 67 cases of condyloma acuminatum and 20 normal prepuces lesions, protein expressions of Maspin and P53 were detected respectively by immunohistochemistry technique. Results:The positive rate of Maspin protein was significantly higher in condyloma acuminatum than in normal prepuces(85% vs 40%,P﹤0.01), while the positive rate of P53 protein was significantly lower in condyloma acuminatum than in normal prepuces(15% vs 55%,P﹤0.01). Conclusion:Low expression of Maspin and over-expression of P53 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of condyloma acuminatum, and contribut to cell proliferation of condyloma acuminatum.
