Sucrose non-fermenting related kinase (SNRK) is a serine/threonine kinase known to regulate cellular metabolism and adipocyte inflammation. Since alterations in adipocyte metabolism play a role in ovarian cancer metastasis, we investigated the expression of SNRK in benign and malignant human ovarian tissue using immunohistochemistry and qPCR. The number of SNRK positive (+) nuclei is increased in malignant tissue compared to benign tissue (21.03% versus 14.90%, p < .0431). The most strongly stained malignant SNRK+ nuclei were stage 1 compared to stage 2-4 disease. Differential expression of SNRK in early versus late stage disease suggests specific roles for SNRK in ovarian cancer metastasis.
蔗糖非发酵相关激酶(SNRK)是一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,已知其可调节细胞代谢和脂肪细胞炎症。由于脂肪细胞代谢的改变在卵巢癌转移中起作用,我们使用免疫组织化学和定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)研究了SNRK在人卵巢良性和恶性组织中的表达。与良性组织相比,恶性组织中SNRK阳性(+)细胞核的数量增加(21.03%对14.90%,p < 0.0431)。与2-4期疾病相比,1期恶性SNRK+细胞核的染色最强。SNRK在疾病早期和晚期的差异表达表明其在卵巢癌转移中具有特定作用。
