Objective To evaluate the expression and significance of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1)
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and chemokine receptor 1 (CXCR1) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tissues. Methods The expression levels of GPER1
EGFR and CXCR1 were analyzed in 68 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 42 cases of
nodular goiter using immunohistochemistry (S-P) assay. Their correlations with the clinicopathological features were examined. Results The positive expression rates of GPER1
EGFR and CXCR1 in the PTC tissue specimens were 76.5%
66.2% and 64.7%
respectively. In the nodular goiter group
the positive expression rates of GPER1
EGFR and CXCR1 were 21.4%
16.7% and 11.9%
respectively
which were significantly lower than those of the PTC group (
P
0.01). Their expression displayed no significant association with clinicopathological parameters age
sex
tumor size and TNM stage (
P
0.05)
except lymph node metastasis (P0.05). GPER1 expression was positively correlated with EGFR expression (r=0.262
P
=0.031; r=0.542
P
=0.002) and CXCR1 expression (r=0.276
P=0.025; r=0.483
P
=0.006) in PTC and lymph node metastatic carcinoma. Conclusion The expression of GPER1
EGFR and CXCR1 is associated with the development in PTC
and their correlations might have prognosis assessment value.
