To investigate the clinical significance of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 (ROR2) in cervical cancer.
We examined ROR2 levels in 8 pairs of surgically resected cervical cancer and adjacent normal cervical tissues by real-time PCR. Moreover, we performed immunohistochemistry to examine ROR2 expression in 94 paraffin-embedded cervical cancer samples and analyzed the association between ROR2 expression, clinicopathologic factors and prognosis.
ROR2 expression was up-regulated in cervical cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal cervix. In paraffin-embedded cervical cancer samples, high expression of ROR2 was shown in 40 (42.6%) of 94 cases, also, it was significantly associated with tumor stage (P = 0.018) and lymph nodes metastasis (P = 0.013). Moreover, survival analysis showed that ROR2 expression was an independent prognostic factor of poor overall and recurrent free survival (P = 0.045 and 0.001, respectively).
These results indicate that ROR2 is significantly correlated with cancer progression and poor prognosis in cervical cancer.
探讨受体酪氨酸激酶样孤儿受体2(ROR2)在宫颈癌中的临床意义。
我们通过实时PCR检测了8对手术切除的宫颈癌组织及相邻正常宫颈组织中的ROR2水平。此外,我们采用免疫组织化学方法检测了94例石蜡包埋的宫颈癌样本中ROR2的表达情况,并分析了ROR2表达与临床病理因素及预后之间的关系。
与相邻正常宫颈相比,宫颈癌组织中ROR2表达上调。在石蜡包埋的宫颈癌样本中,94例中有40例(42.6%)显示ROR2高表达,且其与肿瘤分期(P = 0.018)和淋巴结转移(P = 0.)显著相关。此外,生存分析表明ROR2表达是总体生存率和无复发生存率差的独立预后因素(分别为P = 0.045和0.001)。
这些结果表明ROR2与宫颈癌的癌症进展和不良预后显著相关。 013
