[The expression and significance of programmed cell death 5 and Bcelllymphoma/lewkmia-2 in sinonasal squamous cell
Objective:
To explore the expression and significance of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) and Bcelllymphoma/lewkmia-2(Bcl-2) in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC).
Method:
Immunohistochemical method and Western Blot method was used to determine the expression of PDCD5 and Bcl-2 in specimen of SNSCC in thirty cases, sinonasal inverted papillomas (SNIP) in thirty-eight cases, and normal nasal mucosa in twenty cases.
Result:
(1) The expression of PDCD5 protein in SNSCC significantly decreased compared with SNIP and normal nasal mucosa. (2) The expression of Bcl-2 protein in SNSCC up-regulated obviously compared with SNIP and normal nasal mucosa. (3) Positive rate of PDCD5 protein and Bcl-2 protein in well, moderate and low differentiatied group is respectively 100.00%, 83.33%, 38.89% and 50.00%, 70.83% and 100.00%, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). (4) In the follow-up cases, the survival rate of the patients with higher expression of PDCD5 protein was higher, but that with lower expression of Bcl-2 protein was higher.
Conclusion:
The inactivation of PDCD5 protein and the activation of Bcl-2 protein may play an important role in the development of SNSCC, and there are a positive correlation between PDCD5 and Bcl-2 protein in SNSCC, which may be identified as a new therapeutic target.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...
