Abstract:Objective: To study the change of C-myc and HIF-1α protein expression after neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy and explore the role of C-myc and HIF-1α protein in prediction on the response of neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy in bulky squamous cervical cancer. Methods: Thirty-six patients with stage Ib2 or IIa2 squamous cervical cancer who underwent neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy, combined cisplatin with 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin, and radical hysterectomy between 2007 and 2012 in Wenzhou Medical University were selected. Western blot was used to detect the specific expression of C-myc and HIF-1α protein. Then, streptavidin peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the cellular localization of C-myc and HIF-1α protein and the difference of the expression of C-myc and HIF-1α protein between before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and between chemotherapy-response group and non-response group. Results: ①The total effective rate of neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy in bulky squamous cervical cancer was 52.7%. ②The expression of C-myc and HIF-1α protein in tumor cells after chemotherapy was significantly lower than that before chemotherapy (P<0.05). ③There was positive correlation between the expression of C-myc protein and HIF-1α protein before chemotherapy. ④The expression of C-myc and HIF-1α protein in chemotherapy-response group before chemotherapy was significantly higher than that in non-response group (P<0.05). Conclusion:
The expression of C-myc and HIF-1α protein in bulky squamous cervical cancer may be used as a predictor for response to neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy.
