Abstract: Objective To study the expression of CDK4 and β-Catenin and their relevance in glioma.Methods We used immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of CDK4 and β-Catenin in forty-five glioma tissues and eight normal tissues.According to the classification standard of WHO in 2000 classify and grade the tissues.Results There were significant differences of CDK4 and β-Catenin expressions between normal tissues and glioma tissues(P<0.01).The expression of CDK4 and β-Catenin had positive correlation with the pathological grades of glioma and histological type and increased(P<0.05).Furthermore,the expression of CDK4 was positively correlated with the expression of β-Catenin in glioma(r=0.52,P<0.01).Conclusion The increased expression of CDK4 and β-Catenin may have correlation with malignant change of glioma and occurance of glioblastoma,and their combination is expected to become an important indicator in assessing malignant glioma.

Key words: Glioma, CDK4, β-Catenin
