Abstract:Objective: To detect the protein and gene expression of WT1 in different types of tissues, including endometrial adenocarcinoma (EA) tissues, endometrial hyperplasia tissues and normal tissues and correlated the expression with the clinicopathological features. Methods: The relative expression WT1 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of WT1 protein was detected by Western blot in different types of endometrial tissues. Results: The expression of WT1 mRNA and protein in endometrial adenocarcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in endometrial hyperplasia tissues and normal endometrial tissue respectively (P<0.01). There was no significant difference among age, menopause status, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis status, ER, BMI except histological stage, myometrial invasion and PR status concerned to WT1 gene expression (P<0.05). There were no significant correlations among the protein expressionof WT1 and age, menopause status, clinical stage, myometrial invasion ER, PR, BMI (P>0.05), but related to histological stage and lymph node status, significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion: Up-regulation of WT1 protein and gene expression are correlated to the oncogenesis and progression of EA.
