Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationship between the expression of stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) and secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine-like 1 (SPARCL1) in cervical cancer tissues and clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer.Methods A total of 90 patients with cervical cancer admitted to Xuzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to July 2023 were selected and divided into the observation group (cancer tissues) and the control group (adjacent normal tissues). The expression of STC2 and SPARCL1 in different tissues was compared. The expression of STC2 and SPARCL1 in cervical cancer patients with different clinical characteristics and the factors affecting the positive expression of STC2 and SPARCL1 were analyzed. The predictive value of STC2 and SPARCL1 expression levels for patient survival was explored.Results The positive rate of STC2 in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), while the positive rate of SPARCL1 was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Patients withdepth of stromal invasion > 1/2, poor tumor differentiation, or TNM stage III-IV had a higher STC2 positivity rate (P < 0.05). Patients with poor tumor differentiation, TNM stage III-IV, or lymph node metastasis exhibited a higher SPARCL1 positivity rate (P < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that depth of stromal invasion > 1/2 [O^R = 3.095 (95% CI: 1.147, 8.349) ], poor tumor differentiation [O^R = 3.020 (95% CI: 1.122, 8.129) ] and TNM stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ [O^R = 4.694 (95% CI: 1.696, 12.992) ] were all risk factors for STC2 positivity in patients with cervical cancer (P < 0.05), and that lymph node metastasis [O^R = 4.048 (95% CI: 1.624, 10.087) ], poor tumor differentiation [O^R = 3.254 (95% CI: 1.259, 8.413) ], and TNM stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ [O^R = 3.474 (95% CI: 1.241, 9.725) ] were all risk factors for SPARCL1 positivity in patients with cervical cancer (P < 0.05). Comparison of survival curves between patients with high and low STC2 or SPARCL1 expression showed no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05).Conclusion STC2 and SPARCL1 expression in cervical cancer tissues is closely associated with clinical features and prognosis.
