Expression of osteopontin and its clinico-pathological significance in salivary gland tumors
Objective:To investigate the expression of osteopontin (OPN) mRNA and protein and its correlation with clinico-pathological features of salivary gland tumors. Methods:OPN mRNA and protein level were detected by fluorescent quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)and Western blot in 41 cases of malignant salivary gland tumors
21 of benign salivary gland tumors and 10 of normal salivary gland tissues. The relationship between the relative content of OPN mRNA and protein and clinico-pathological features of salivary gland tumors were analyzed. Results:The differences of OPN mRNA and protein expression levels in various tissues (malignant salivary gland tumors
benign alivary gland tumors and normal salivary gland tissues) were statistically significant
and the mRNA expression levels were correlated significantly with node metastasis and TNMstage
the expression levels of OPN protein were correlated significantly with node metastasis and TNMstage(P<0.05). Conclusion:OPN mRNA and protein were over-expressed in malignant salivary gland tumors
and they were correlated to the clinico-pathological features. Western blot tumors
benign alivary gland tumors and normal salivary gland tissues) were statistically significant
and the mRNA expression levels were correlated significantly with node metastasis and TNMstage
the expression levels of OPN protein were correlated significantly with node metastasis and TNMstage(P<0.05).
