Abstract:

Objective This study aims to examine expression of Caveolin-1 in non smoking cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and to discusses the relationship between expression of Caveolin-1 and the Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations.Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the Caveolin-1 expression and ARMS-qPCR was used to measure EGFR mutations in 40 cases of lung cancer tissue.The clinical pathological characteristics and correlations in patients were analyzed.Results The expression of Caveolin-1 in human lung cancer was significantly lower than that in normal lung tissue,and negatively correlated with EGFR mutations,which was statistically significant.Conclusion Caveolin-1 expression is negatively correlated with EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer and related to the histologic type.Caveolin-1 may be a molecular target for diagnosis and judgment of NSCLC.
