简介:目的:探讨卵巢高分化黏液性癌(highlydifferentiatedOvarianmucinouscarcinoma,HDOMC)患者中MMP-2、MMP-9、S100A14的表达水平及意义。方法:采用免疫组化法对40例正常卵巢组织、43例卵巢黏液性肿瘤(Ovarianmucinoustumor,OMT)、80例HDOMC患者中MMP-2、MMP-9、S100A14的表达水平进行检测,并分析HDOMC患者中S100A14表达与MMP-2、MMP-9表达的相关性。结果:MMP-2、MMP-9、S100A14在正常卵巢组织、OMT、HDOMC患者中的表达水平呈递增趋势,且两两组间比较差异显著(P〈0.05)。Spearman相关分析:HDOMC患者中S100A14表达与MMP-2、MMP-9表达水平两两呈正相关(P〈0.05)。MMP-2、MMP-9、S100A14表达水平与HDOMC患者手术-病理分期(FIGO)、CA-125水平有关(P〈0.05);与年龄、肿瘤直径、淋巴结转移无关(P〉0.05)。结论:MMP-2、MMP-9、S100A14表达水平升高与HDOMC发生、进展、早期转移具有显著相关性,早期联合筛查这些指标对HDOMC病情演变及治疗预后评估具有重要价值。
