To investigate the expression patterns of ZEB2 and C-myc in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and the associations between their expressions and the pathological features of EOC.
The expressions of ZEB2 and C-myc proteins were detected immunohistochemically in 191 cervical cancer tissues and 13 normal ovarian tissues. The relationship between ZEB2 and C-myc protein expressions and the clinicopathological features of EOC was evaluated.
ZEB2 positive expression ratea in EOC tissues and normal ovarian tissues were 49.2% (94/191) and 30.8% (4/13), respectively (P=0.007), and C-myc positive expression rates in the two tissues were 53.9% (103/191) and 15.4% (2/13), respectively (P=0.001). A high expression of ZEB2 was positively correlated with the pathological type of the tumor (P=0.003), FIGO stage (P=0.028), T stage (P=0.002), and N stage (P=0.04), and a high expression of C-myc was positively correlated with FIGO stage (P=0.035), histological grade (P=0.039), and T stage (P=0.002). C-myc and ZEB2 expressions were positively correlated in EOC (P<0.001), and their co-expression in EOC was significantly correlated with T stage (R=0.358, P<0.001) and FIGO stage (P=0.008).
ZEB2 and C-myc can promote the progression, invasion and metastasis of EOC, and their combined detection may assist in early diagnosis of EOC.
探讨ZEB2和C-myc在上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)中的表达模式及其表达与EOC病理特征之间的关系。
采用免疫组织化学法检测191例宫颈癌组织和13例正常卵巢组织中ZEB2和C-myc蛋白的表达。评估ZEB2和C-myc蛋白表达与EOC临床病理特征的关系。
EOC组织和正常卵巢组织中ZEB2阳性表达率分别为49.2%(94/191)和30.8%(4/13)(P=0.007),两种组织中C-myc阳性表达率分别为53.9%(103/191)和15.4%(2/13)(P=0.001)。ZEB2高表达与肿瘤病理类型(P=0.003)、国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)分期(P=0.028)、T分期(P=0.002)和N分期(P=0.04)呈正相关,C-myc高表达与FIGO分期(P=0.035)、组织学分级(P=0.039)和T分期(P=0.002)呈正相关。EOC中C-myc和ZEB2表达呈正相关(P<0.001),它们在EOC中的共表达与T分期(R=0.358,P<0.001)和FIGO分期(P=0.008)显著相关。
ZEB2和C-myc可促进EOC的进展、侵袭和转移,联合检测它们可能有助于EOC的早期诊断。
