Research Abstract |
We found that infected HPV caused up-regulation of the insulin-like growth factor receptor in cervical cancer cell lines. By using this phenomenon, we evaluated expression levels and its localization of IGF-IR in human cervical cancer and its precursor lesions by immunohistochemistry. We could distinguish status of HPV infection by the localization of IGF-IR overexpression. Then we tried to utilize this technique in liquid based cytology specimens. However, we could not distinguish HPV infection status from cytology specimens.
