✦ Synopsis

The genetic changes involved in the metastatic process of ovarian epithelial cancer remain undetermined. The expression of nm23, a putative metastasis-suppressor gene product, was assessed immunohistochemically in malignant and benign ovarian neoplasms, considering histology of tumors and clinical advancement of disease. Comparison of nm23 protein content in tissue sections and respective cyst and/or ascitic fluid cells was also performed. Significant heterogeneity of nm23 immunostaining was observed, and no correlation with histological subtype of ovarian carcinoma was found. Expression of nm23 was higher in carcinomas compared with benign tumors. A significant trend to have a higher nm23 reactivity in ascitic fluid cells vs. primary tumors was observed. Our results indicate that the increase of nm23 reactivity is activated in the early stages of the disease and that the progression of ovarian carcinoma is accompanied by overexpression of nm23 protein. Our observations did not confirm the postulated role of nm23 as a suppressor gene in ovarian cancer.

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory monokine structurally related to IL-1beta that stimulates interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production. IL-18 is synthesized as an inactive precursor, pro-IL-18, which is cleaved by IL-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE)/caspase-1 in a mature protein. In view of the

NM23 is a protein associated with tumor progression, expressed in all tissues and in human tumors. Reduced expression of NM23.H1 is related to high incidence of lymph node and distant metastasis or to poor prognosis of the patient in several human malignant tumors. In this study we analyze NM23 expr
