Abstract: Objective To explore the expression of fibroblast growth factorinducible 14(Fn14)and Janus kinase/signal transducerand activator of transcription(JAK/STAT)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)tissues with EGFR exon 19 deletion. Methods In this study,125 NSCLC cases with EGFR 19-Del were selected by amplification refractory mutation system. And the 30 cases of paired adjacent normal tissues were collected. Expressions of Fn14,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 were detected in these samples using immunohistochemistry and the correlation of Fn14 expression with JAK/STAT expression was analyzed by statistics. Results The expression of Fn14 was mainly located on cell membrane and cytoplasm, while the expression of p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 were mainly located in cytoplasm and cell nucleus. Compared to normal lung tissues,the higher expression rates of Fn14,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 protein were 100.0%(125/125),83.2%(104/125)and 100.0%(125/125)in NSCLC tissues with EGFR 19-Del(P<0.05). There were significant differences of Fn14,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 expression in histological grades,pTNM stages and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05),while there were no significant differences in sex,age,smoking history and pathological types(P>0.05). The correlation of Fn14 with p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 were obvious(P<0.05,r>0.3)in pathological classification,histological grads and pTNM stage of NSCLC. Conclusion Fn14,p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 proteins are highly expressed in NSCLC with EGFR 19-Del,suggesting that the above three proteins would be likely to associate with the development of NSCLC. The good correlations between Fn14 expression and p-JAK1,p-STAT1 hints that Fn14 may effect on the expression of p-JAK1,p-STAT1. All these provide important basis for the mechanism study of Fn14 affecting on the development of NSCLC with EGFR 19-Del.
