HPV persistent infection causes overexpression of P16, but this could be also in normal tissue. P16 is important and useful for cervical cancer screening, but combined with other biomarker - Ki-67, which is a marker of cell proliferation. In normal tissues, the simultaneous expression of P16 and Ki-67 is less likely to occur. Bcl-2 is an intracellular membrane protein which prevents apoptotic cell death and it can be used as a biomarker, too.Methodology We selected a number of 40 paraffin embedded specimens of cervical tissue from patients diagnosed with cervical pathology, who were admitted in our department from 1-st of January 2018 till 31-th of December 2019. The specimens groups were formed by L-SIL (10), H-SIL (10), scuamous cervical carcinoma – SCC (10) and nontumoral cervical tissue (10) as control group. For all the specimens was performed the histopatological exam and the immunohistochemistry for Ki-67, P16 protein and Bcl-2 protein. Expression of Ki 67, P16 protein and Bcl-2 was detected and the diagnostic values were analyzed.Results Positive rates of Ki 67 and P16 expression in H-SIL and SCC groups were significantly higher than those in L-SIL and control group. In our study the expression’s intensity of P16 and Ki-67 was positively correlated with the degree of cervical lesions.The immunostaining for Bcl-2 is highly expressed in cervical cancer tissue, compared with nontumoral cervical tissue. The difference is not well expressed compared to H-SIL and L-SIL.Conclusion Cervical cancer is the malignant tumor with a known etiology, so that prophylactic measures could be taken.The combination of P16 and Ki-67 can identify patients with high risk of SCC and reduce the rate of misdiagnosis. This is of high value for the differential diagnosis between SCC and H-SIL. Bcl-2 is an important regulator of apoptosis. The relationships of tumor genesis with anti-apoptotic genes and pro-apoptotic genes have been confirmed. Combined with other biomarkers, Bcl-2 could be usefull in assesing the patients’ prognosis.Disclosures I have nothing to disclose. ER -
