Abstract:Objective To explore the expression and correlation of Slug and Vimentin in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC). Methods A total of 103 PTC patients′ cancer tissue samples in People′s Hospital of Binzhou City from January 2011 to January 2020 were selected as the research group.In the same period,42 cases of PTC adjacent tissue samples were selected as the control group.The expressions of Slug and Vimentin in two groups were analyzed by immunohistochemistry,and the relationship between Slug and Vimentin and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Results The positive rates of Slug and Vimentin in the research group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The positive rates of Slug and Vimentin in extrathyroidal invasion tissues were higher than those in no extrathyroidal invasion tissues,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The positive rates of Slug and Vimentin in later TNM stage tissues were higher than those in earlier TNM stage tissues,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The positive rates of Slug and Vimentin in lymph node metastasis tissues were higher than those in no lymph node metastasis tissues,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).There was positive correlation between Slug and Vimentin in PTC (r=0.523,P=0.031). Conclusion The abnormal expressions of Slug and Vimentin gene may promote PTC invasion and metastasis,which can provide a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment assessment.
