摘要
Objective: To investigate the expressions of beta-catenin, protein APC (adenomatous polyposis coil protein), c-myc and cyclin D1 and their implication in ovarian epithelial tumor. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining with SP method was conducted to identify the expressions of beta-catenin, APC protein, c-myc and cyclin D1 in ovarian epithelial tumor in 48 cases. Results: The abnormal expression rate of beta-catenin in malignant and borderline ovarian epithelial tumors was higher than that in benign epithelial tumors (P〈0.01). The expression rates of c-myc and cyclin-D1 in ovarian malignant and borderline epithelial tumors were higher than those in benign epithelial tumors too(P〈0.05). The prevalence of APC protein positive expression in benign epithelial tumors were significantly greater than that in malignant epithelial tumors (P〈0.05). A significant negative correlation was found between beta-catenin and APC protein in ovarian epithelial tumors; while a significant positive correlation was found between beta-catenin, c-myc and cyclin-D1 in ovarian epithelial tumor (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The abnormal expressions of Beta-catenin, APC protein, c-myc and cyclin-D1 might be used to indicate the malignance transform of ovarian epithelial tumors.
