Abstract

DNA topoisomerase II‑α (Topo II‑α) is essential for numerous cell processes, including DNA replication, transcription, recombination, and chromosome separation and condensation. Altered Topo II‑α expression may lead to carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between Topo II‑α expression levels and clinicopathological data from laryngeal cancer patients. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze Topo II‑α expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and distant healthy tissues obtained from 70 patients. In addition, fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to detect Topo II‑α amplification and chromosome 17 ploidy using a laryngeal cancer tissue microarray. The expression of Topo II‑α protein was detected in 71.43% (50/70) of laryngeal carcinoma tissues, in contrast to 9% of healthy tissues (2/22). Furthermore, the expression of Topo II‑α protein was found to be associated with tumor de‑differentiation and advanced tumor T stage. However, the expression of Topo II‑α protein was not identified to be associated with Topo II‑α amplification in laryngeal carcinoma, although was found to positively correlate with chromosome 17 aneuploidy (P<0.05). A higher aneuploidy rate contributed to increased expression levels of Topo II‑α protein. Aberrant Topo II‑α expression and chromosome 17 aneuploidy contributed to the development and progression of laryngeal cancer, indicating that targeting Topo II‑α may provide a treatment strategy for patients with laryngeal cancer.
