Expression and significance of WAVE1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in ovarian cancer
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of WASP-family verprolin-homologous protein 1 (WAVE1)
matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and -9 (MMP-9) in ovarian cancer. Methods The expression of WAVE1
MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 47 cases of ovarian cancer tissues
30 cases of benign ovarian tumor tissues and 21 cases of normal ovarian tissues were detected by SABC immunohistochemical method. The correlation among WAVE1
MMP-2 and MMP-9 was analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of WAVE1
MMP-2 and MMP-9 in ovarian cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in benign ovarian tumor tissues and normal ovarian tissues (
P
0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that positive correlation were found among WAVE1
MMP-2 and MMP-9 in ovarian cancer (
P
0.05). The expression of WAVE1 was correlated with the clinical stage
histological differentiation and Ca-125 level (
P
0.05) rather than the age and the size of tumor (
P
0.05)
while the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was correlated with the clinical stage of ovarian cancer (
P
0.05) rather than the age
histological differentiation
Ca-125 level and the size of tumor (
P
0.05). Conclusion WAVE1
MMP-2 and MMP-9 are highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues. Combined screening of WAVE1
MMP-2 and MMP-9 at early stage may have crucial clinical significance for evaluation of progress and prognosis of ovarian cancer.
