Objective To study the serum content of HE4 in endometrial carcinoma patients and its relationship with tumor expression of apoptosis factor.Methods Forty cases of endometrial carcinoma patients in our hospital during September 2015 to September 2016 were collected and divided into early-mid-phase endometrial carcinoma group with 30 cases and advanced endometrial carcinoma group(IV) with 10 cases; another 50 cases of patients with uterine benign diseases in our hospital were chosen as control group. All patients' ser-um content of HE4 was detected by electrochemical luminescence method, and the expression of mRNA in the tumor tissues was detected by Real-time PCR. Results The content ofserum HE4 of in early-mid-phase endometrial carcinoma group and advanced endometrial carcinoma group was(125.64±15.82)pmol/L,(243.25±46.83)pmol/L,respectively, which was higher than (57.38±6.91)pmol/L of control group (P<0.05).mRNA expression of tumor apoptosis promoting genes such as XAF1, ITLN-1 and Caspase-3 proteinwas lower in early-mid-phase endometrial carcinoma group, advanced endometrial carcinoma group than that in control group, and the expression of genes above was lower in advanced endometrial carcinoma group than that in early-mid-phase endometrial carcinoma group(P<0.05).mRNA expression of tumor anti-apoptotic genes such as Survivin, c-Myb, Bax, RLIP76, PTP1Bwas higher in early-mid-phase endometrial carcinoma group, advanced endometrial carcinoma group than that in control group,and the expression of genes above was higher in advanced endometrial carcinoma group than that in early-mid-phase endometrial carcinoma group(P<0.05). The Pearson test showed that the content of serum HE4 in endometrial carcinoma patients was negatively correlated with the expression of Pro apoptotic gene and Caspase-3 protein in tumor tissues, and was positively correlated with the expression of anti apoptotic gene in tumor tissues.Conclusion There is an abnormal high expression of serum HE4 in endometrial carcinoma patients, and its expression is directly related to the malignant degree of the tumor. |
