| 摘要: | Purpose: To investigate the biological correlation between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C expression and invasive phenotype in ovarian carcinomas. Experimental Design: Gene and protein expression levels of VEGF-C in 10 ovarian carcinoma cell lines were correlated with invasive activity of the cells. The correlation between immunohistochemical expression of VEGF-C and tumor aggressiveness in 73 ovarian carcinomas was also examined with respect to clinicopathologic features and patient outcome. Results: VEGF-C gene and protein expression differed remarkably among the cell lines, and there was a statistical correlation among VEGF-C expression, in vitro invasive activity, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) gene expression and its activity. Anti-VEGF-C and anti-MMP-2 antibodies inhibited the invasive activity of tumor cells. VEGF-C expression in clinical tissue samples was well correlated with clinical stages, retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, MMP-2 expression, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and low apoptotic index (AI). The patients whose tumors had strong VEGF-C expression and low AI underwent a poorer prognosis than did those with weak VEGF-C expression and high AI. Conclusion: VEGF-C expression is closely related to invasive phenotype and affects the patient's survival in ovarian carcinomas. |
