Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the expression of contactin-1 (CNTN-1) in the patients with primary lung squamous cell carcinoma and to explore the relationship between the CNTN-1 expression and the clinical pathologic parameters.

Methods

The expression levels of CNTN-1 in the tumor tissues from 63 patients with primary lung squamous cell carcinoma and 20 human samples with normal lung epithelial tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.

Results

In 63 primary lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue samples, 35 cases with positive expression, 26 cases with negative expression, 2 cases invalid, CNTN-1 expressed in the primary lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues with a positive rate of 55.65%, while it was undetectable in the normal human lung epithelial tissues. Moreover, the positive staining of CNTN-1 was found to be significantly correlated with the smoking history (P<0.05) and the lymphatic invasion before surgery (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the levels of CNTN-1 expression and the clinical pathologic parameters of the patients with primary lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Conclusion

CNTN-1 might be a potential biomarker to predict the prognosis of the patients with primary lung squamous cell carcinoma.
