Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor, its early onset is hidden, lack of specific symptoms, the location of the lesion is particularly hidden, which makes it difficult to find ovarian lesions by general detection, making it difficult to make an early clinical diagnosis. Therefore, it is still the focus and difficulty of ovarian cancer research to find the means of early diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer. Cytosine-cytosine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT) enhancer-binding protein α (CEBPA) has been proved to be involved in cell metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation. In this study, the expression of CEBPA mRNA and protein in normal ovary, epithelial ovarian cyst, ovarian borderline tumor, and ovarian cancer was detected, the relationship between CEBPA and pathobiological characteristics of ovarian cancer was discussed, and its influence on the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer was analyzed. The results showed that the expression of CEBPA mRNA and protein in patients with ovarian borderline tumor and ovarian cancer is high, and the expression of CEBPA has no obvious correlation with the pathobiological characteristics of patients with ovarian cancer, and the high expression of CEBPA has an important value in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and it is also a poor prognostic factor of the disease.
卵巢癌是一种常见的恶性肿瘤,其早期发病隐匿,缺乏特异性症状,病变部位尤为隐蔽,这使得通过常规检查难以发现卵巢病变,导致临床难以早期诊断。因此,寻找卵巢癌的早期诊断和预后手段仍是卵巢癌研究的重点和难点。CCAAT增强子结合蛋白α(CEBPA)已被证明参与细胞代谢、增殖和分化。本研究检测了CEBPA mRNA和蛋白在正常卵巢、卵巢上皮囊肿、卵巢交界性肿瘤及卵巢癌中的表达,探讨CEBPA与卵巢癌病理生物学特征的关系,并分析其对卵巢癌患者预后的影响。结果显示,卵巢交界性肿瘤及卵巢癌患者中CEBPA mRNA和蛋白表达较高,CEBPA的表达与卵巢癌患者的病理生物学特征无明显相关性,CEBPA高表达对卵巢癌诊断具有重要价值,也是该疾病预后不良的因素。
