To investigate the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin and HPV16/18 infection in uterine cervical carcinogenesis, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from cervical carcinomas, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ...To investigate the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin and HPV16/18 infection in uterine cervical carcinogenesis, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from cervical carcinomas, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (C1N) and normal cervical tissues were studied. Using streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (S- P) immunohistochemical technique, the authors examined the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin in these specimens. The number of apoptosis cells was assessed in situ by TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin end labeling (TUNEL) method. The infection of HPV type 16, 18 DNA were determined by PCR. It was found that there were significant differences in Bcl-2, Survivin and apoptotic index (AI) between cervical carcinomas, CIN and normal cervical tissues, respectively. Expression of Bcl-2 and AI were correlated with tu- mor grades, clinical stages and lymph node metastasis and expression of Survivin was associated with tu- mor grades and lymph node metastasis. There were different positive rate of HPV^s between cervical car- cinomas, C1N and normal tissues and were not associated with tumor grades, clinical stages and lymph node metastasis. The infection of HPV16/18 was associated with the expression of Bcl-2, Survivin and AI, respectively. It was concluded that the abnormal expression of Bcl-2, Survivin and infection of HPV16/18 were associated with cervical carcinomas. They possibly can be useful indexes for the primary screening and prognosis of cervical carcinomas.展开更多
