Abstract

To analyse the negative versus positive immunoexpression of E-cadherin in patients with primary ovarian carcinomas, and determine its significance in relation to clinicopathological features, overall and recurrence-free survival (RFS). The protein expression of E-cadherin was immunohistochemically evaluated in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples in 104 patients with primary ovarian carcinomas. The clinicopathological factors studied were age, FIGO staging, histological type, tumour differentiation, the appearance of the ovarian capsule, peritoneal implants and residual tumour after cytoreductive surgery. Overall survival and RFS were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariate analysis was completed using the Cox regression model. Of the 104 carcinomas, negative E-cadherin immunoexpression was observed in seven (7%) cases, and positive immunoexpression in 97 (93%). E-cadherin categorised into negative versus positive expression did not associate with any of the established clinicopathological parameters. However, negative E-cadherin expression significantly predicted a poorer overall survival when compared with positive expression (P=0.006). In the multivariate analyses, negative E-cadherin and the presence ...Continue Reading

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.
