Objective. To analyze the expression of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) isoforms and its relationship with matrix metalloprotemase (MMP) expression and clinical parameters in advanced-stage (FIGO III-IV) ovarian carcinoma.Methods. Seventy-seven fresh frozen effusions from ovarian carcinoma patients were studied for messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of 10 secretory PLA2 (sPLA(2)) isoforms (IB, IIA/D/E/F, III, V, X, XII and XIII), the PLA(2) receptor (sPLA(2)R), cytoplasmic PLA2 (cPLA(2)), PLA(2)-activating protein (PLAP) and MMP-2 using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Phosphorylated cPLA(2) (p-cPLA(2)) protein expression was studied in 52 effusions using immunohistochemistry. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity was evaluated in 22 and 20 effusions, respectively, using zymography. Expression was analyzed for correlation with clinicopathologic parameters, chemotherapy status and survival.Results. PLA(2) isoforms, sPLA(2)R, PLAP and MMP-2 mRNA was expressed in > 95% of specimens. p-cPLA(2) protein was expressed in 46/52 (88%) effusions. MMP-2 activity was found in all specimens, while that of MMP-9 was detected in 19/20 effusions. MMP-2 was found to be coexpressed with p-cPLA(2) (p=0.003) and sPLA(2)-IIA (p=0.021). Lower expression of sPLA(2)-IIA (p < 0.001) and higher expression of sPLA(2)-V (p=0.038) and sPLA(2)-XIII (p=0.001) was found in post-chemotherapy effusions. In univariate survival analysis, higher levels of sPLA2-V correlated with better overall (OS, p=0.021) and progression-free (PFS, p= 0.025) survival. For patients with post-chemotherapy effusions, FIGO stage IV and higher PLAP mRNA expression correlated with worse OS (p = 0.005 for both PLAP and stage), while higher PLAP (p = 0.025) and sPLA(2)-XII (p = 0.027) levels and FIGO stage IV (p < 0.001) correlated with shorter PFS. In Cox multivariate analysis, PLAP expression (p = 0.022) and FIGO stage (p=0.036) independently predicted poor OS, while higher sPLA(2)-XII levels (p=0.04) and FIGO stage (P=0.003) were independent predictors of shorter PFS.Conclusions. The present study documents for the first time expression of PLA(2) isoforms, sPLA(2)R and PLAP in ovarian carcinoma. PLA(2) isoenzyme expression differs in pre- and post-chemotherapy specimens. PLAP and sPLA(2)-XII may be independent predictors of poor outcome for patients with post-chemotherapy effusions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
