Abstract
Abstract

Background:

Current prognostic molecular markers for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are

insufficient. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of Sox11 in EOC

Methods:

Using an in silico transcriptomic screen Sox11 was identified as a potential EOC

biomarker. Sox11 protein expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry (IHC)

in 76 EOC cases, which were analyzed using automated algorithms to develop a

quantitative scoring model.

Results:

Sox11 mRNA expression was up-regulated in EOC compared to normal tissues.

Automated analysis of Sox11 in the EOC cohort revealed high expression of Sox11, in

40% of... (More)
Abstract

Background:

Current prognostic molecular markers for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are

insufficient. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of Sox11 in EOC

Methods:

Using an in silico transcriptomic screen Sox11 was identified as a potential EOC

biomarker. Sox11 protein expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry (IHC)

in 76 EOC cases, which were analyzed using automated algorithms to develop a

quantitative scoring model.

Results:

Sox11 mRNA expression was up-regulated in EOC compared to normal tissues.

Automated analysis of Sox11 in the EOC cohort revealed high expression of Sox11, in

40% of tumours, who had an improved recurrence free survival (RFS) (p= 0.002).

Multivariate analysis confirmed Sox11 was an independent predictor of improved RFS

after controlling for stage and grade.

Conclusions:

These data suggest that Sox11 is a new prognostic marker in EOC. Loss of SOX 11 is

associated with a decreased RFS and a more aggressive phenotype. (Less)
