Expression of beta-catenin,protein APC and c-myc,cyclin D1 in Ovarian epithelial tumor and its significance
Object: To investigate the expression of beta-catenin
protein APC
c-myc and cyclin D1 in Ovarian epithelial tumor and to discuss its significance.Methods: Expression of beta-catenin
protein APC
c-myc and cyclin D1 were examined by ABC immunohistochemistry in 48 cases of Ovarian epithelial tumor.Results: The rate of abnormal expression of beta-catenin in ovarian malignant epithelial tumor was higher than that in benign epithelial tumor(P<0.001);and the rate in borderline epithelial tumor was higher than that in benign epithelial tumor too(P<0.05).The prevalence of protein APC positive in ovarian benign epithelial tumor was significant greater than that in malignant tumor(P<0.05).A significant negative correlation was found between beta-catenin and protein APC in ovarian epithelial tumor(P<0.05);while a significant positive correlation was found between beta-catenin and c-myc
cyclin D1 in ovarian epithelial tumor.Conclusion: Abnormal expression of beta-catenin may activate the expressions of c-myc and cyclin D1
which plays a pivotal role in the progression of ovarian epithelial tumor
and have important effects on pathogenesis and development of ovarian epithelial tumors.
