Abstract:Objective: To analyze the value of CD117, Sox10 expression and c-kit gene amplification in mucous, acral and non-acral melanoma and explore the relationship between it and clinical pathology. Methods: The gene levels of c-kit in mucosal, acral and non acral melanoma were detected by PCR, with pigmented nevus as control. The protein expressions of CD117, sox10, 1-100 and HMB45 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: The expression of c-kit gene from the three MM groups was higher than that of pigmented nevus (P<0.05). The immunohistochemical results demonstrated that the number of positive cells of CD117 from the three MM groups was marginally higher than that of pigmented nevus (P<0.05). The number of positive cells of Sox10 in the three MM groups was higher than that of S-100 and HMB45 (P<0.05). The positive rate of CD117 in mucosal, acral and non acral MM was 78.5%, 73.6% and 73.3% respectively, while 25% in pigmented nevus control (P<0.05). The positive rate of Sox10, S-100 and HMB45 in MM was 100.0%, 87.5% and 70.8% respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion: C-kit gene amplification and its downstream transcription protein CD117 enhanced positive expression can be applied as clinical potential therapy target. The positive rate of Sox10 is higher than S-100 and HMB45, and may be applied as tumor differentiation marker for origins of melanocytes.
