Sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression predicts poor prognosis in human ovarian carcinoma.

Abstract:

:Sex-determining region Y-box 2 is proposed to be a key transcription factor in embryonic stem cells. The known roles of sex-determining region Y-box 2 in development and cell differentiation suggest that it is relevant to the aberrant growth of tumor cells. Thus, sex-determining region Y-box 2 may play an important role in tumor progression. However, its clinical significance in human ovarian carcinoma has been uncertain until recently. The aim of the present study was to clarify the clinical role of sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression in ovarian carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining of 540 human ovarian carcinoma samples for sex-determining region Y-box 2 was performed using tissue microarray. The associations among sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression and clinical factors (diagnosis, tumor grade, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, and response to chemotherapy), overall survival, and disease-free survival were analyzed. We observed sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression in 15% of the ovarian carcinoma samples. Use of the Fisher exact test suggested that sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression was associated with high-grade carcinoma (P = .009), especially high-grade serous carcinoma (P = .048); International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage (II-IV; P = .005); and malignant mixed müllerian tumors (P = .048). Sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression was also associated with decreased disease-free survival durations (P = .035; log-rank test). Our results showed that sex-determining region Y-box 2 expression may be a potential marker related to tumor recurrence, as implicated by its role in cancer stem cells.
