OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between combined multigene detection and response to chemotherapy and prognosis in epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCS).
METHODS: A total of 80 ovarian tissue samples taken from the surgical specimens of patients with EOCS of our hospital in the last two decades who had received chemotherapy after surgery were paraffin-embedded. The samples were divided into 2 groups, good prognosis group (patients who survived more than 2 years, n = 46) and poor prognosis group (patients who survived less than 2 years, n = 34). The expression levels of ToPo-II, Ki-67, MGMT, PCNA, p27, p53, p16, P-gp, LRP, GST-pi, bcl-2, C-myc, Fas, bax, MSH2, MRP and BCRP were investigated by the combination of tissue arrays and immunohistochemical streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (SP) method in all samples. Data were analysed with SPSS 12.0 for windows.
RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences in the positive expression levels of P-gp, BCRP, MGMT, MSH2, p27 and p16 (62%, 50% and 50% in poor prognosis group vs 33%, 28% and 28% respectively, P < 0.05) in the good prognosis group, suggesting that the positive expression levels of P-gp, BCRP, MGMT, MSH2, p27 and p16 were related to the response to chemotherapy and prognosis in EOCS. And the positive expression of P-gp, BCRP and MSH2 (43%, 54% and 43%) indicated poor prognosis, while the positive expression of MGMT, p27 and p16 (18%, 29% and 24%, P < 0.05) indicated good prognosis. Cox multigene expression analysis confirmed that the positive expression levels of MRP, C-myc, LRP, p16, p27, MGMT, ToPo-II, P-gp and GST-pi were related to the response to chemotherapy and prognosis in EOCS. And the positive expression of MRP, C-myc, LRP, ToPo-II, P-gp and GST-pi indicated poor prognosis, while the positive expression of MGMT, p27 and p16 indicated good prognosis. Combined multigene detections were conducted among P-gp, BCRP, MGMT, MSH2, p27 and p16, and there were statistically significant differences in the positive coexpression of P-gp plus MGMT in the two groups (P < 0.05); indicating that the combined multigene expression were related to the response to chemotherapy and prognosis in EOCS. The predictive value to response to chemotherapy and prognosis of the positive coexpression of P-gp plus MGMT was 70%.
CONCLUSIONS: By univariate and multivariate analyses, the positive expression of P-gp, MGMT, p27 and p16 are related to the response to chemotherapy and prognosis in EOCS. The combined multigene expression of P-gp plus MGMT are related to the response to chemotherapy and prognosis and could predict prognosis more effectively.
