To analyze the prognostic value and potential target for therapeutic intervention of enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) in uveal melanomas (UM) patients.
We analyzed EZH2 expression in 89 primary UM patients by immuno- histochemistry to observe the clinicopathological and prognostic value of EZH2.
The high levels of mitoses count and Ki67 labeling index had significant correlation with overexpression EZH2 (R = 0.408, P.
Our critical finding is that overexpression EZH2 in UM can be served as predictive marker and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Further observation of EZH2 as a potential therapeutic target in UM is necessary.
分析zeste同源物2增强子(EZH2)在葡萄膜黑色素瘤(UM)患者中的预后价值及治疗干预的潜在靶点。
我们通过免疫组织化学分析了89例原发性UM患者的EZH2表达,以观察EZH2的临床病理及预后价值。
高有丝分裂计数和Ki67标记指数与EZH2过表达显著相关(R = 0.408,P.
我们的关键发现是UM中EZH2过表达可作为预测标志物,并与不良临床结局相关。有必要进一步观察EZH2作为UM潜在治疗靶点的情况。
