Abstract:
Objective To analyze the expression and clinicopathological significance of seven in absentia homolog 2 (SIAH2) in epithelial ovarian carcinoma, and to discuss its role in the development of epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Methods The expression of SIAH2 was determined by immunohistochemical S-P method in 165 cases of ovarian samples and SIAH2 expression was examined by Western blot. In the combination with follow-up data, survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and relationship between SIAH2 expression and prognosis of ovarian carcinoma patients was analyzed by the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to examine the independent predictive factors in the patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma.Results SIAH2 expression in epithelial ovarian cancer (76.4%) was higher than that of borderline ovarian tumors (41.7%) , benign ovarian cysts (5.13%) and normal ovarian tissues (2.86%) , and there were significant differences (all P < 0.05). No statistical significance of SIAH2 expression was found between benign ovarian cysts and normal ovarian tissues (P> 0.05). The expression of the SIAH2 was significantly correlated to histological grade, FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05).The relative expression of SIAH2 in normal ovarian tissue, benign ovarian cyst, borderline ovarian tumor and epithelial ovarian cancer was 0.12 ± 0.05, 0.11 ± 0.04, 0.57 ± 0.08 and 1.05 ± 0.10, respectively. No difference of SIAH2 expression was found between normal ovarian tissues and benign ovarian cysts (P> 0.05). The expression of SIAH2 increased from ovarian tissues/benign ovarian cysts to borderline ovarian tumor to epithelial ovarian cancer and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05).The survival curves of patients with SIAH2 (+) differed from those of patients with SIAH2 (-) and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multiple factor analysis revealed that the higher expression of SIAH2 was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Conclusions The over-expression of SIAH2 plays an important role in the tumorigenesis and progression of epithelial ovarian cancer. The over-expression of SIAH2 may serve as a biomarker for poor prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer patients.
