摘要
目的:探讨KLK9基因mRNA及其蛋白在卵巢癌组织中的表达及其临床意义。方法:采用半定量RT-PCR和免疫组化SP法检测55例卵巢癌组织KLK9mR-NA及蛋白的表达。结果:KLK9蛋白表达位于细胞质,KLK9mRNA及其蛋白表达水平与临床分期有关;早期卵巢癌(Ⅰ、Ⅱ期)KLK9mRNA及蛋白表达水平明显高于晚期(Ⅲ、Ⅳ期),χ2值分别为7·33及8·69,P值分别为0·006及0·0032。但KLK9mRNA及其蛋白表达水平与病理分级及组织学类型无关。结论:KLK9基因表达可能与卵巢癌的恶性度有关,可作为一项检测卵巢癌预后的指标。
OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression of KLK9 gene and its clinical significance in human ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expressions of KLK9 mRNA and protein in 55 patients with ovarian cancer. RESULTS: KLK9 protein was detected in the cytoplasm but not in the nuclei of the ovarian cancer cell. Expression of KLK9 both on mRNA and protein levels showed significantly higher in patients with the early stages (Ⅰ or Ⅱ) compared to the advanced stages (Ⅲ or Ⅳ),χ~2=7.33 and 8.69,P=0.006 and 0.003 2. On the other hand, no significant association was found between KLK9 expression grade and histological type of ovarian carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: The different expression of KLK9 might be related with the malignancy of ovarian carcinoma. KLK9 gene could play a critical role as a prognostic marker in the future.
