Abstract:Objectives To investigate the mRNA and protein expression of MDR1, PEDF, and LRP in cervical cancer and its clinical significance.Methods The mRNA and protein expression of MDR1, PEDF, and LRP were determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry in 9 healthy people and 58 patients of cervical cancer.Results The mRNA and proteinexpression of MDR1 and LRP were higher in cervical cancer tissues than in normal cervical tissues; the mRNA and protein expression of PEDF were lower in cervical cancer tissues than in normal cervical tissues; the 5-year overall survival rate of cervical cancer patients with high expression of MDR1 and LRP was lower than that of cervical cancer patients with low expression of MDR1 and LRP, and the 5-year overall survival rate of cervical cancer patients with high expression of PEDF was higher than that of cervical cancer patients with low expression of PEDF.Conclusion MDR1 and LRP were highly expressed in cervical cancer, while PEDF was poorly expressed in cervical cancer, which was related to clinicopathological features and prognosis.
