Research on expression of laminin and laminin receptor in hydatidiform mole and prognosis factors
Objective: To investigate the significance of laminin(LN) and laminin receptor(LN-R) in the proceeding and prognosis of hydatidiform mole.Methods: Immunohistochemical SP staining was used to detect the expression of LN and LN-R in 41 hydatidiform mole cases(13 cases were learned to have turned malignant by following up).20 cases of normal early gestational chorion were detected as control.Results: The strong positive rates of LN and LN-R in normal chorion
hydatidiform mole un-malignant group and malignant group were respectively 90.0%(18/20)
71.4%(20/28)
38.5%(5/13)
and 70.0%(14/20)
71.4%(20/28)
84.6%(11/13).The strong expression of LN had a significant difference between malignant group and the other 2 groups(P<0.05).Conclusion: LN and LN-R may play an important role in malignant proceeding of hydatidiform mole.Detection of LN and LN-R may be of great value in assessing the prognosis of moles.
