Objective : To investigate the association of FXYD-3 expression with clinicopathological variables and PINCH in patients with ESCC. Patients and methods : Expression of FXYD-3 protein was immunohistochemically examined in normal esophageal mucous (n = 20) and ESCC (n = 64). Results : Expression of FXYD-3 in the cytoplasm markedly increased from normal esophageal epithelial cells to primary ESCC ( p = 0.001). The expression of FXYD-3 was correlated with TNM stages and depth of tumour invasion. Furthermore, the cases with lymph node metastasis tended to show a higher frequency of positive expression than those without metastasis ( p = 0.086), and FXYD-3 expression tended to be positively related to the expression of PINCH (p = 0.063). Moreover, the cases positive for both proteins had the highest frequency of lymph node metastasis (p = 0.001). However, FXYD-3 expression was not correlated with patient , s gender (p = 0.847), age (p = 0.876), tumour location (p = 0.279), size (p = 0.771) , grade of differentiation (p = 0.279), and survival (p = 0.113). Conclusion : overexpression of FXYD-3 in the cytoplasm may play an important role in the tumourigenesis and development in the human ESCC, particularly in combination with PINCH expression.
