Conclusion: The overexpression of HMGA1 or Ezrin may contribute to the carcinogenesis, development, and metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Objective: To investigate the expression of HMGA1 and Ezrin in LSCC and analyze their clinical significance. Methods: The expression of HMGA1 and Ezrin was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 50 cases of LSCC. Thirty cases of laryngeal polyp and 30 cases of atypical hyperplasia of larynx were studied as controls. The expression of HMGA1 and Ezrin was analyzed by real-time PCR and by Western blot in 30 cases of LSCC; samples from adjacent normal epithelial tissues in 30 cases were studied as controls. Results: (1) IHC revealed that the positive rate of HMGA1 protein was 68.0% (34/50), 53.3% (16/30), and 13. 3% (4/30) in LSCC, atypical hyperplasia of larynx, and laryngeal polyp (p < 0.05), and the positive rate of Ezrin protein was 64.0% (32/50), 50.0% (15/30), and 23.3% (7/30) (p < 0.01), respectively. (2) Real-time PCR demonstrated that the mean relative mRNA expression levels of HMGA1 in LSCC and in normal tissues were 2.41 +/- 0.40 and 1.05 +/- 0.18, respectively (p < 0.01). The mRNA levels of Ezrin in LSCC and in normal tissues were 1.79 +/- 0.27 and 1.04 +/- 0.22, respectively (p < 0.05). (3) Western blotting revealed that the mean relative protein expression levels of HMGA1 in LSCC and in normal tissues were 1.73 +/- 0.60 and 0.35 +/- 0.17, respectively (p < 0.01). The protein levels of Ezrin in LSCC and in normal tissues were 1.82 +/- 0.77 and 0.42 +/- 0.20, respectively (p < 0.01).
