Abstract

CUEDC2, a newly reported protein, plays critical roles in many biological processes, such as cell cycle, inflammation and tumorigenesis, however, its expression in ovarian serious carcinoma is still poorly understood. In this study, we performed an immunohistochemical study on 101 cases of ovarian serous carcinoma tissues to investigate whether CUEDC2 is a useful biomarker to evaluate the progression of ovarian serous carcinomas. The data showed that the overexpression of CUEDC2 was observed in 59.4% of ovarian serous carcinoma tissue samples and correlated with histopathological grade, patient age at diagnosis, FIGO stage and recurrence. To assess the clinical relevance of CUEDC2, we analyzed the survival follow-up information, the results showed that CUEDC2-positive expression was associated with a shorter disease-free survival time, the median disease-free survival time of CUEDC2-positive patients was 36.0 months compared with 53.9 months of CUEDC2-negative ones (Log-rank χ2=6.149, P=0.013). Collectively, our results suggested that CUEDC2 may be a promising biomarker to evaluate the progression of serous ovarian carcinoma and to predict likely relapse of ovarian serous carcinoma.
