Pathological characteristics and immunophenotype analysis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

Objective To explore the clinical pathological features and immunophenotypes of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN).Methods The protein expression of p16, p53, Bcl-2, and c-erb B-2 in 59 cases of CIN, 20 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and 20 cases of normal cervical tissues were tested using immunohistochemistry staining.Results The expression rates of p16, p53, Bcl-2, and c-erb B-2 in CIN tissues were 76.3%(45/59), 28.85(17/59), 61.0%(36/59), and 40.0%(23/59), respectively. The expression rates of p16, p53, Bcl-2, and c-erb B-2 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues were 60.0%(12/20), 60.0%(12/20), 75.0%(15/20), and 65.0%(13/20), respectively. The expression rates of p16, p53, Bcl-2, and c-erb B-2 in normal cervical tissues were 0.0%(0/20), 0.0%(0/20), 35.0%(7/20), 0.0%(0/20), respectively. In comparison to normal tissues, the differential expressions of p16, p53, and Bcl-2 in squamous cell carcinoma and CIN were statistically significant(P <0.001), whereas the difference between the squamous cell carcinoma and CIN was not significant(P >0.05). In comparison to normal tissues, the differential expressions of c-erb B-2 and p53 in squamous cell carcinoma and CIN were statistically significant(P >0.05). The differential expressions of Bcl-2, c-erb B-2, and p53 in CIN 3 were statistically significant in comparison to CIN 1 and CIN 2(P <0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of Bcl-2 occurs early in the development of cervical cancer, whereas p16 and c-erb B-2 overexpression are markers for cell malignancy. The expression of p53 is correlated with the development of cervical cancer.
