Relationship of heparanase and bFGF expressions with angiogenesis in human ovarian carcinoma: report of 41 cases
Objective To investigate the expressions of heparanase (Hpa) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) as well as their relationship with angiogenesis in human ovarian carcinoma. Methods Forty-one ovarian carcinoma specimens resected from the patients diagnosed with ovarian carcinoma from January 2003 to November 2007 were examined by immunohistochemistry for the expressions of Hpa and bFGF and microvessel density (MVD). Results Hpa highly expressed in ovarian carcinoma
and its expression was positively correlated with MVD and bFGF expression (r=0.351
P0.05; r=0.420
P0.05). In ovarian carcinoma specimens
MVD of bFGF-positive specimens was higher than that of bFGF-negative ones (P0.05)
and MVD of both Hpa-positive and bFGF-positive specimens was higher than that of other specimens (P0.05). The expressions of Hpa and bFGF as well as MVD were significantly higher in FIGO stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ than those in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P0.05)
and were significantly higher in poorly differentiated ovarian carcinoma specimens than those in moderately-highly differentiated ones (P0.05). Conclusion Hpa highly expresses in human ovarian carcinoma and has a positive correlation with bFGF expression and ovarian carcinoma angiogenesis. High expression of Hpa in ovarian carcinoma tissues contributes to tumor angiogenesis
and the coexpression of Hpa and bFGF may play complementary biological role in tumor angiogenesis and tumor invasion and metastasis.
