Abstract
Human papilloma virus infection is critical but not sufficient to cause cervical cancer. Molecular markers of cervical carcinogenesis are essential. The aim of this study was to identify aberrantly expressed proteins in cervical cancer and determine their clinical significance. A two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) proteomic strategy was used for screening candidate proteins. Immunoblotting and immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses were performed to confirm the results of 2-DE, and the clinical significance was estimated. Glucose-regulated protein58 (Grp58) was overexpressed in 73% of cancers. The IHC staining showed that the Grp58 histoscore was significantly higher in patients with adenocarcinoma (AD) compared with squamous cell carcinoma (P
