Abstract:

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression levels of STT3A and STT3B in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients. Methods The clinical information of 88 patients with EOC who underwent surgical treatment and 22 patients with normal tubal epithelium and normal ovarian tissue in our department from 2010 to 2019 were collected and followed up. The expressions of STT3A and STT3B in EOC and control groups were detected by immunohistochemistry, and their relationships with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients were analyzed. Results The expression of STT3A and STT3B in EOC patients was significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.05), and the expression of STT3A was related to tumor differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The expression of STT3B was significantly correlated with FIGO staging, serum CA125 level, Lymph?vascular space invasion, degree of tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Kaplan?Meier survival analysis showed that the higher expressions of STT3A and STT3B were associated with poor prognosis (P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the high expressions of STT3A and STT3B were independent risk factors for the prognosis of EOC patients (P < 0.05). Western Blot results showed that STT3A and STT3B were significantly expressed in ovarian cancer (P < 0.05). Conclusion STT3A and STT3B are extremely expressed in EOC tissues and are associated with poor prognosis of EOC patients, and may be potential markers for the prognosis of EOC patients.
