Abstract

Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer in females; however, its asymptomatic progression and the lack of an efficient screening strategy leads to late diagnosis. The present study aimed to investigate the expression levels of cluster of differentiation (CD)146 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) in epithelial ovarian cancer, and their clinical significance. A total of 52 ovarian samples were tested, of which 22 were from patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and 30 were from non‑cancer patients. The relative gene expression of CD146 and VEGFA was quantified using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Western blotting was used to determine the protein expression levels. The relative gene expression levels of CD146 and VEGFA in tumor tissues were significantly increased compared with the control (4.92±0.44 vs. 1.05±0.06 and 3.08±0.17 vs. 1.06±0.07, P<0.01). The protein expression levels of CD146 and VEGFA in tumor tissue were also significantly increased compared with the control (0.70±0.02 vs. 0.41±0.07 and 0.54±0.01 vs. 0.26±0.01, P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between the expression levels of CD146 and VEGFA genes (r=0.78) and between the two proteins (r=0.69). Dot density frequency analysis indicated that CD146 and VEGFA were specifically present in tumor tissues. In conclusion, CD146 and VEGFA are co‑overexpressed in ovarian cancer; their potential as tumor biomarkers or therapeutic targets for the treatment of ovarian cancer requires further investigation.
