Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression and the clinical significance of Lewis y antigen and Mucin 1 (MUC1),as well as to evaluate the correlation between them in epithelial ovarian tumor.Methods The expression of Lewis y antigen and MUC1 in 60 cases of epithelial ovarian malignant tumors,30 cases of borderline ovarian tumors,30 cases of benign ovarian tumors and 20 cases of normal ovarian tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between Lewis y antigen and MUC1,and their relationship with biology characteristic of ovarian carcinoma were analyzed.An immunofluorescence double labeling methods was performed to detect the correlation between Lewis y antigen and MUC1.Results In malignant epithelial ovarian tumors,the positive rates of Lewis y antigen was 88.33％,which was significantly higher than the positive rates in borderline(60.00％,x2 =9.6405,P ＜0.01) and benign ovarian tumors(33.33％,x2 =28.8095,P ＜0.01) and normal ovarian samples (0,x2 =52.3457,P ＜ 0.01).The positive rates of Lewis y antigen had nothing to do with the clinical pathological parameters of ovarian tumor,but the expression intensity of Lewis yantigen was increased with the development of the malignant degree(P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of MUC1 in malignant epithelial ovarian tumors was also significantly higher than that in borderline,benign ovarian tumors and normal ovarian samples (86.67％ vs 53.33％,30.00％,25.00％,x2 =12.0321,29.4064,27.8464 ; P ＜0.01).And the expression intensity of MUC1 also increased with the development of clinical stage(P ＜0.01),but had nothing to do with the lymph node metastasis and histological grade(P ＞ 0.05).In ovarian cancer,both Lewis y antigen and MUC1 were highly expressed,and their expression levels were positively correlated (r =0.707,P ＜0.01),and Lewis y antigen colocalized with MUC1.Conclusion Both Lewis y antigen and MUC1 are associated with the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.Lewis y antigen and MUC1 might be a sigh of biological behavior in ovarian cancers,and this study provides theoretical evidence of ovarian cancer biological treatment.
