Abstract:Objective: To investigate the expression of Artemin, CXCL13 and MMP-9 in endometrial carcinoma, atypical hyperplasia, simple hyperplasia and normal endometrial tissue, and in different clinicopathological features of endometrial carcinoma. The relationship between differential expression and clinical pathological staging of endometrial carcinoma. Methods: A total of 154 cases of endometrial specimens were removed from the Department of Gynecology, Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from June 2016 to April 2018, including 78 cases of endometrial carcinoma, 56 cases of stage I (EC-I group), 15 cases of stage II (EC-II group), 7 cases of stage III (EC-III group), 32 cases of atypical proliferative endometrial tissue (EAH group), 46 cases of simple proliferative endometrial tissue (ESH group), normal endometrial tissue in 44 cases (NE group). The expression of Artemin, CXCL13 and MMP-9 in endometrial carcinoma, atypical hyperplasia, simple hyperplasia and normal endometrium was detected by Western Blot. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect Artemin, CXCL13 and MMP-9 mRNA. The expression of different clinicopathological features in endometrial carcinoma tissues was analyzed, and the relationship between differential expression and clinical pathological staging of endometrial carcinoma was analyzed. Results:: The expression of Artemin, CXCL13 and MMP-9 in the EC group were higher than those in the EAH group, ESH group and NE group (F=38.54, F=98.74, F=72.46, all P<0.05). The expression of Artemin, CXCL13 and MMP-9 mRNA in endometrial carcinoma was correlated with depth of myometrial invasion, pathological differentiation, FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis (all P <0.05), which was not correlated with age (P >0.05). Conclusion: Artemin, CXCL13 and MMP-9 play a role in the development of endometrial carcinoma, which may provide new research direction for early diagnosis and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma.
