CAS (cellular apoptosis susceptibility) gene expression in ovarian carcinoma: Correlation with 20q13.2 copy number and cyclin D1, p53, and Rb protein expression.
American Journal of Clinical Pathology 2002 December
We immunohistochemically analyzed cellular apoptosis susceptibility (CAS) protein expression and compared it with 20q13.2 copy number and the expression of cell cycle-associated proteins retinoblastoma (Rb), cyclin D1, and p53 and prognosis on paraffin-embedded tissue from 69 ovarian carcinomas (OCs). CAS protein reactivity was present in 100%, Rb in 54%, cyclin D1 in 47%, and p53 in 49%. Significant reciprocal correlation was observed between high levels of CAS and histologic type, FIGO (International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology) stage III and grade 3, residual tumor (>2 cm), 20q13.2 (ZNF217 gene) amplification (>4 copies in >20% cells), and high expression of cyclin D1 (all P < .05). No association was found between cyclin D1, p53, or Rb levels with clinicopathologic factors. In univariate analysis, residual tumor, FIGO stage and grade, ZNF217 amplification, and CAS levels predicted outcome (all P < .05). In multivariate analysis, stage, grade, amount of residual tumor, and ZNF217 amplification showed independent prognostic value (all P < .05). In OC, alteration of CAS and ZNF217 genes, both located at 20q13, is frequent and relevant prognostically. Cyclin D1, Rb, and p53 seem to have a secondary role.
