Objective To study the expression of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLTR) in different epidermal tumors and its significance. Methods The expression of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor was detected by immunohistochemical technique in skin specimens of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC
n=15)
basal cell carcinoma (BCC
n=15)
Bowen’s disease (BD
n=15)
seborrheic keratosis (SK
n=15)
Bowenoid papulosis (BP
n=15) and of 10 normal volunteers. Results As compared with normal epidermal cells
cysteinyl leukotriene receptor expression was significantly increased in SCC and BCC cells (P0.05) and similar in BD and SK cells (P0.05). CysLTR1 and CysLTR2 expressed without statistical difference in each skin specimen of any kind mentioned above. Conclusion The upregulated expression of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor may play a potential role in proliferation of epidermal cells.
