Abstract:
Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the expression of kinesin family member C1(KIFC1)in endometrioid carcinoma and clinicopathological features and prognosis of endometrioid carcinoma patients.Methods The expression of KIFC1 in 30 cases of paracancer-ous endometrium and 95 cases of endometrioid carcinoma was detected by immunohistochemical SP method.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression level of mRNA and protein of KIFC1 in 30 pairs of fresh cancer tissues and ad-jacent non-cancer tissues.Furthermore,the relationship between KIFC1 protein expression and survival time was analyzed by TC-GA database,and their clinicopathologic features were analyzed.Results The immunohistochemistry results showed the positive rate of KIFC1 in endometrioid carcinoma(61.05％)was signifi-cantly higher than that in the neighboring noncancerous tissue(13.33％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expression of KIFC1 was correlated with myometrial invasion,FIGO stage and lymphatic metastasis(all P＜0.05).The relative expression of KIFC1 mRNA in endometrioid carci-noma(2.99±0.59)was significantly higher than that in the neighboring noncancerous tissue(1.00±0.29),and there was significant difference(P＜0.05).The relative expression of KIFC1 protein in endometrioid carcinoma(1.70±0.36)was significantly higher than that in the neighboring noncancerous tissue(0.72±0.17),and there was significant difference(P＜0.05).Furthermore,elevated KIFC1 expression was positive-ly correlated with a poorer prognosis.Conclusion KIFC1 is upregulated in endometrioid carcinoma and associated with poor prognosis of patients,KIFC1 was expected to be a potential ther-apeutic target and prognostic indicator for endometrioid carcino-ma.
