Expression of Activated Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and Transcription Factor E2F in Condyloma Accuminata

摘要

Objective: To study the expression of activated epi-dermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and transcrip-tion factor E2F (E2F) in Condyloma Accuminata(CA) patients. Methods: Immunofluorescent techniques were used to investigate the expression of activated EGFR and E2F in CA patients. Results: The expression of activated EGFR on the membrane of epithelial cells in CA lesions was sig-nificantly greater compared to expression levers in the control group (P<0.01). Moreover, the co-expres-sion of activated EGFR and E2F was significantly in-creased compared to the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion: Our observations suggest that the in-crease in activated EGFR expression may stimulate hyperplasia in CA patients through the activation of transcription factor E2F.
