Role of DEP domain-containing protein 1B (DEPDC1B) in epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant expression of DEPDC1B (DEP domain-containing protein 1B) has been shown to be associated with various types of malignant tumors. However, little is known about the role of DEPDC1B in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and role of DEPDC1B in EOC. Immunohistochemical staining of 60 high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) showed that DEPDC1B expression was associated with response to first line chemotherapy, and DEPDC1B expression was higher in platinum-resistant patients than in platinum-sensitive patients. However, there was no association between DEPDC1B expression and age, preoperative CA125 level, ascites status, location, FIGO stage, and residual disease. Furthermore, our study demonstrated that increased DEPDC1B expres
