Popis: AIMS HSP90, as a molecular chaperone, has numerous substrate proteins, including HIF-1α and p-AKT, but the relationships among HSP90, HIF-1α and p-AKT have not been investigated in NPC. We examined and analysed the correlation between expression of HSP90, HIF-1α and p-AKT and clinicopathological features of NPC. METHODS We collected 445 cases of NPC and 54 cases of non-cancerous nasopharyngeal epithelia tissues, detected expression of HSP90, HIF-1α and p-AKT proteins in these tissues by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The results indicated that overexpression of HSP90, HIF-1α and p-AKT in NPC was significantly higher than that in non-cancerous nasopharyngeal epithelia (P
