Abstract:
AIM: To determine whether overexpression of CLN3 is involved in the tumorigenesis of ovarian cacinoma. METHODS: 10 specimens of ovarian carcinoma were screened for CLN3 gene expression level by semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: Overexpression of CLN3 mRNA and protein was found in all ovarian tumor tissues as compared with normal tissues. CONCLUSION: The overexpression of CLN3 may contribute to tumor development of ovarian cancer.
