Abstract: Objective:To detect the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) in basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Methods: The protein and mRNA expressions of eIF4E were detected by PV-9000 immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR in 20 patients with basal cell carcinoma and 20 healthy controls. Results:The MODs in BCC and controls were 0.198±0.031 and 0.096±0.015 respectively and the expression levels of mRNA were 2.32±1.00 and 1.24±0.17, with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion:eIF4E may involve in the pathogenesis of BCC.
