摘要: Purpose Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a DNA-binding protein that regulates various biologic processes, including cell growth, apoptosis, malignant transformation. Abnormal activation STAT3 associated with many diseases, there currently no relevant study on the pathogenesis pterygium. The purpose this was to investigate expression clinical significance STAT3, HIF-1α, VEGF in pterygium at different stages. Methods Immunohistochemistry used levels 50 cases 20 control conjunctival tissue. intensity three proteins evaluated Image-Pro Plus 6.0 image analysis software. Results In group, positive rates for were 82.0%, 86.0%, 84.0%, respectively, while those normal conjunctiva group 40.0%, 25.0%, 15.0%. higher than conjunctiva, advanced statistically significantly stationary (p < 0.01). HIF-1α related length depth corneal invasion level pterygium, but not depth. addition, significant correlation between Conclusions For first time, detected simultaneously Compared highly expressed tissue more It suggested may directly or through promote participate growth angiogenesis Targeting provide new direction treatment
