Abstract:
Objective: To explore expression and relativity of CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in Krukenberg and the primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma.Methods: The expressions of CD44v6,VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by immunohistochemistry S-P method in the 20 cases ofnormal ovarian tissues, 38 cases with Krukenberg tumor and 45 cases with primary epithelial ovariancarcinoma.Results: The expressions of CD44v6 and VEGF were significantly higher in primary epithe-lial ovarian carcinoma tissues and Krukenberg tumor tissues than in normal ovarian tissues (P<0.05).The positive expression rates of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were zero in the normal ovarian tissues. The posi-tive expression rates of CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were remarkably higher in the Kruken-berg tumor than in primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma (P<0.05). Relativity has been observed forCD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 each other in primary epithelial ovarian carcinomas and inKrukenberg tumors (P<0.05).Conclusion: CD44v6, VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were concerned withevolvement process for ovarian carcinoma, gastric cancer and Krukenberg tumor. Detection of CD44v6,VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 may offer basis of diagnosis ovarian carcinoma, gastric cancer and Kruken-berg tumor.
