Expression of integrin α6 mRNA in skin lesions of patients with condyloma acuminata / 中华临床感染病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression of integrin α6 mRNA in skin lesions of patients with condyloma acuminata. Methods Sixty outpatients with condyloma acuminate, including 30 primary cases and 30 recurrent cases were enrolled in the study;30 non-condyloma acuminate patients undergoing circumcision were used as normal controls. The expression of integrin α6 mRNA in condyloma acuminata lesions of primary and recurrent cases, as well as in skin samples of normal controls were determined by RTPCR. ANOVA was used to compare the differences among the groups, and Student-Newman-Keuls test(q test)was used for pairwise comparisons. Results Relative contents of integrin α6 mRNA(integrin α6/GAPDH)in normal controls, primary and recurrent condyloma acuminata lesions were 0.25±0.10, 0.79±0.16 and 1.07±0.29, respectively, and the difference was of statistical significance(F=127.687, P=0.001). Conclusion Integrin α6 may be associated with the pathogenesis and recurrence of condyloma acuminate, which may provide a new target for prevention and treatment of the disease.
