Abstract:

AIM: To detect the expression level of pPEA-15-Ser104 in epithelial ovarian carcinoma and to explore its clinical significance, and the correlation with the prognosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: From January 2009 to June 2013, 95 cases of primary ovarian epithelial carcinoma who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College Yijishan Hospital for gynecology and obstetrics surgery and pathologically confirmed were selected. All the patients were not treated with chemotherapy before surgery. The expression levels of pPEA-15-Ser104 in 95 cases of primary ovarian epithelial carcinoma were detected by immunohistochemical method.Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference of pPEA-15-Ser104 expression in patients with ovarian cancer with different clinical characteristics. Survival status of patients with ovarian epithelial carcinoma was closely followed up after surgery . Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to analyze the difference of survival rate in patients with ovarian epithelial carcinoma with different clinical characteristics. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze prognostic factors in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma.RESULTS:There were significant differences in the expression levels of pPEA-15-Ser104 in different histological grades, surgical and pathological stages, types and distant metastasis of ovarian epithelial carcinoma.There was no significant difference in age, tumor location, tumor maximum diameter and lymph node metastasis.K-M survival analysis and Cox regression analysis showed that the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients with high expression of pPEA-15-Ser104 was poor and the survival time was short, which could be used as an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of ovarian cancer (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Phosphorylated PEA-15 plays an important role in the development of ovarian epithelial carcinoma.The prognosis of the patients with high expression is poor. It may become a new target to predict the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients, and it is expected to provide an important target for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients.
