Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the most common primary malignant tumor of the conjunctiva, has a variable clinical presentation and immunohistochemical profile. Abundant cell cycles exist, including MIB-1 (Ki67 antigen), p16, p53, and p63, within the conjunctiva SCC. This investigation first reports the expressions of cell cycle markers in SCC. A retrospective study was conducted between December 1976 and June 2004, comprising 13 consecutive patients with conjunctiva SCC who were treated with surgical excision. Detailed clinical parameters were also reviewed. Overexpression of MIB-1, p16, p53, and p63 genes were studied by immunohistochemistry. Genechip containing 39 subtypes was used to elucidate human papillomavirus (HPV). The study group contained 13 (100%) men, with a mean age of 68±18 years and follow-up period of 20±17 months. The sample included four (33%) SCC located in the left eye and two (17%) recurrent SCC. Overexpression of the p53 and p63 was considerably higher than that of the p16 (P<0.01). HPV DNA was not detected in any of the 13 cases. This work first examined the immunohistochemical overexpression of cell cycle (MIB-1, p16, p53, and p63) in SCC. This investigation then showed that the expression of cell cycles in SCC was associated with key tumor clinicopathological features. This approach can help distinguish the potential roles of cell cycle in the development of SCC.
