摘要
目的 探讨claudin-3、-4在卵巢黏液性囊腺癌的发生、发展过程中的作用。方法应用免疫组织化学、原位杂交方法检测卵巢上皮、黏液性囊腺瘤、交界性黏液性囊腺瘤、黏液性囊腺癌的石蜡包埋组织中claudin-3、-4和claudin-4 mRNA的表达情况。结果 claudin-3、-4、claudin-4 mRNA在卵巢上皮及卵巢黏液性囊腺瘤中表达最弱;交界性黏液囊腺瘤中表达明显增强,却明显弱于黏液性囊腺癌(P〈0.05);在低分化卵巢癌中的表达强于高分化癌及中分化癌(P〈0.05),中分化癌与高分化癌中的表达无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论 claudin-3、-4表达增强,与黏液性囊腺癌的发生、发展密切相关,与其分化程度有关,可能会成为诊断卵巢黏液性囊腺癌的特异性标记物。
Objective To explore the role of claudin-3, claudin-4 in carcinogenesis and progression of ovarian mucous cystoadenocarcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization method were employed to detect the expression of claudin-3, -4, claudin-4 mRNA in ovary epithelium, mutinous cystadenoma, mutinous cystadenoma of borderline, mucous cystadenocarcinoma. Results claudin- 3, -4 expression was lowest in ovarian epithelium and mutinous cystadenoma, higher in borderline mutinous cystadenoma, and highest in ovarian cystadenocarcinoma( P 〈 0.05 ). The expression of claudin-3, -4 in poor differentiated ovarian carcinoma was stronger than that in well- differentiated and moderately differentiated carcinoma ( P 〈 0.05 ), but there was no significant difference between well-differentiated and moderately differentiated carcinoma (P 〉0.05). Conclusion The overexpression of claudin-3, -4 is correlated closely with the carcinogenesis and advancement of ovarian mutinous carcinoma, and may have correlation with the differentiated degree of ovarian carcinoma, claudin-3, -4 may become the specific markers of ovarian mucous cystadenocarcinoma.
