Abstract

The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the expression of semaphorin‑4C (Sema4C) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and to determine the association between Sema4C expression and patient clinicopathological characteristics. Sema4C mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction in the tissues of 74 cases of EOC, 20 cases of ovarian epithelial benign tumor, 20 cases of ovarian borderline epithelial tumor and 15 cases of normal ovarian tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression and localization of Sema4C. The association between Sema4C expression level and patients clinicopathological characteristics was determined by χ2 test. The results demonstrated that Sema4C expression level in ovarian epithelial carcinoma tissues was significantly higher compared with that in benign tumors, borderline epithelial tumors and normal ovarian tissues (P<0.05). In addition, Sema4C expression in ovarian cancer tissues was significantly associated with the clinical and pathological stages of tumors (P<0.05). In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that Sema4C expression was upregulated in EOC.
