Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the expression of Gab2 in cervical cancer tissue and the clinical pathological features.Methods80 cervical cancer specimens definitely diagnosed by pathology from January 2012 to December 2013 and 20 normal cervical tissue specimens which were stored in our Department of Pathology were randomly selected in our hospital.The immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Gab2 in cervical cancer tissues and normal cervical tissues,and was statistically analyzed together with the clinical and pathological data.ResultsThe positive expression rate of Gab2 in 80 cervical cancer tissues was 58.75% (47/80),and in the 20 normal cervical tissues,only 3 cases were presented with weak positive expression.The rate of positive expression was 0%,which was displayed a statistical difference (P<0.05).The expression level of Gab2 protein in cervical cancer tissues was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis(P<0.05),but didn’t present with great correlation with age,size of tumor,histological grading or FIGO stage(P>0.05).The recurrence and metastasis rate in patients with high Gab2 expression was significantly higher than that of low expression of Gab2(P=0.001).ConclusionGab2 may play an important role in the occurrence and progression of cervical cancer,and may be considered as a potential for prognostic marker of cervical cancer.
