Abstract
Purpose To explore the effects of progesterone receptor isoforms A and B ( PR-A,PR-B) on carcinogenesis and progres-sion of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma ( OSC) . Methods The expressions of PR-A and PR-B in 52 cases of OSC, 22 cases of o-varian borderline serous cystadenoma ( OBSC) , 22 cases of umbrella of normal fallopian ( UNF) were detected by immunohistochmical Elivision technique. Results The expression of PR-A in OSCs, OBSCs and UNFs were 94. 5%, 94. 5%, and 68. 38%, respective-ly, with there were statistical significance among three groups (P<0. 05). The expression of PR-B in OSCs, OBSCs and UNFs were 100%, 77. 27%, and 40. 38%, respectively, with there were statistical significance among three groups (P<0. 05). The difference of PR-A/PR-B ratio in OSCs, OBSCs and UNFs was statistical significance ( P<0. 05 ) . The expressions of PR-A and PR-B in OSCs were lower, there were statistical significance between the clinical stageⅠ+Ⅱ andⅢ+Ⅳ (P<0. 05), and histological gradeⅠandⅡ. The difference of PR-A/PR-B ratio between the histological gradeⅠandⅡin OSC was statistical significance. There was statistical significance of PR-B between OSCs with lymph metastasis and without lymph metastasis (P<0. 05). Expression of PR-A and PR-B in OSC was positive correlation (P<0. 05). Conclusion With the carcinogenesis and progression of OSC, the expressions of PR-A and PR-B gradually declined, and the downregulation of PR-B is more obvious, may be an important biological sign of malignant transfor-mation in ovarian tissue. The increasing ratio of PR-A to PR-B in OSC may indicate poor differentiation. The relatively higher expres-sion of PR-B may inhibit the lymph metastasis in OSC.关键词
