摘要
Objective: To investigate the expressions of Beta-catenin, E-cadherin and MMP-7 and their implications in ovarian epithelial tumor. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining with SP method was conducted to identify the expressions of Beta-catenin, E-cadherin and MMP-7 in ovarian epithelial tumor in 66 cases. Results: The abnormal expression rate of Beta-catenin in malignant ovarian epithelial tumor was higher than those in borderline and benign epithelial tumors (P〈0.05). The positive rates of E-cadherin in benign and borderline ovarian epithelial tumors were significantly greater than that in malignant epithelial tumor. The expression rates of MMP-7 in malignant and borderline ovarian epithelial tumors were higher than that in benign epithelial tumor (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The abnormal expressions of Beta-catenin, E-cadherin and MMP-7 might be used to indicate the malignance transform of ovarian epithelial tumors, but they have no significant correlation with peritoneal dropsy invasion, caul invasion and appendant invasion in ovarian epithelial tumor.
