Abstract:
e17530 Background: Despite the progress made in diagnosis and treatment, ovarian cancer (OC) is still the third most common genital cancer. Poor results of therapy for various forms of OC stimulate the search for fundamentally new approaches to the treatment. One of the main reasons for resistance to chemotherapeutic agents includes multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells. The most characterized of its various mechanisms is the elevated activity of the ABC family protein - ABCB1 (Pgp or MDR1). The purpose of the study was evaluation of the expression of this ABC transporter as a predictive factor in platinum-containing chemotherapy in OC patients. Methods: 100 patients aged 29-79 years with advanced stage IIIC - IV OC with/without ascites were recruited between 2016 and 2020. Depending on the treatment results, patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (n = 59) - patients with platinum sensitivity; group 2 (n = 41) - patients with platinum resistance during the treatment or within 6 months after its completion. IHC analysis was performed using rabbit polyclonal anti-MDR1 antibodies (Affinity Biosciences) diluted 1:600 and the Reveal Polyvalent HRP-DAB Detection System. The percentage and the intensity of staining were assessed: 0, 1+ weak, 2+ moderate, 3+ strong. MDR1 expression was considered positive when staining was detected in more than 10% (cut-off) tumor cells with intensities of 2+ and 3+. Statistical analysis of results was performed in the Statistica 13.0 program (StatSoftInc., USA). Results: Patients with MDR1+ prevailed in group 2 (98%), and patients with MDR1- in group 1 (32%). The average expression of MDR1 in tumor cells in group 2 (64.0±7.0) was statistically significantly higher by 1.7 times (p = 0.003) than in group 1 (37.2±6.8) by the Mann-Whitney U-test. When distributed according to Pearson's χ2 criterion, positive MDR1 as a risk factor in the platinum-resistant group increased the risks of refractory to platinum therapy by 19 times (95% CI 2.4-148.8). Conclusions: The study demonstrated predictive significance of the MDR1 biomarker in platinum treatment in patients with ovarian cancer.
