AbstractObjectives: Our previous study has suggested an oncogenic role of eIF-5A2 in ovarian tumorigenesis. Abnormalities of eIF-5A2 and its clinical/prognostic significance, however, in ovarian carcinoma are unclear. Methods: In this study, we examined expression of EIF-5A2, using immunohistochemistry, in 30 normal ovaries, 30 ovarian cystadenomas, 30 borderline ovarian tumors and 110 ovarian carcinomas. The amplification status of eIF-5A2 in each ovarian carcinoma was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results: Overexpression of EIF-5A2 was detected in none of the normal ovaries, 7% cystadenomas, 30% borderline tumors, and 53% invasive ovarian carcinomas, respectively. Amplification of eIF-5A2 was detected in 16% of informative ovarian carcinomas. In ovarian carcinomas, significant positive associations were found between overexpression of EIF-5A2 and the tumors ascending grade, later pT/pN and FIGO stages, as well as increased positive rate of Ki-67 (p < 0.05). In univariate survival analysis of the ovarian carcinoma cohorts, a significant association of overexpression of EIF-5A2 with shortened patient survival (mean 39.0 months vs 69.5 months, p < 0.001) was demonstrated. Importantly, EIF-5A2 expression provided significant independent prognostic parameters in multivariate analysis (p = 0.043). Conclusions: These findings suggest that increased expression of EIF-5A2 in ovarian carcinoma may represent an acquired malignant phenotypic feature of tumor cells, and the overexpression of EIF-5A2, as detected by immunohistochemistry, is an independent molecular marker for shortened survival time of patients with ovarian carcinoma. © 2008 Elsevier Inc.
