  Objective: Pituitary homeobox-2 (PITX2), a member of the bicoid/paired-like homeobox gene family, plays an important role in determining left-right asymmetry in vertebrates and development of multiple organs by serving as a downstream effector of Nodal, TGFβ, and Wnt signaling pathway. PITX2, lymphoid enhancer factor (LEF-1) and beta-catenin are required for the inductive formation of several epithelial-derived organs, including teeth, which remains unclear interaction Wnt signal pathway in the development of ovarian epithelial tumors. Research PITX2, LEF-1 and beta-catenin direct interactions may provide new mechanisms for epithelial ovarian cancer. Materials and methods: 1. Using immunohistochemical (IHC), real-time quantitative RT-PCR (Q-PCR), Western blot to analyse the expression of PITX2, LEF-1, β-catenin in ovarian cancer tiss.. Read More»
