Abstract |
BACKGROUND:Claudin-4, a component of the tight junction, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis of ovarian cancer, but its role in platinum resistance has not been elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Claudin-4 expression in ovarian cancer cells was inhibited and the changes in cisplatin sensitivity were examined. Fluorescence-labeled cisplatin was used to examine whether inhibition of claudin-4 changed the cellular accumulation of cisplatin. Claudin-4 expression in ovarian cancer tissue resected from the patients surgically was evaluated immunohistochemically. RESULTS:Suppression of claudin-4 resulted in a significant increase of cisplatin sensitivity and cellular accumulation of fluorescence-labeled cisplatin. Claudin-4 expression was significantly greater in ovarian cancer tissue from chemoresistant patients compared to chemosensitive patients. The overall survival was significantly shorter for claudin-4-positive than claudin-4-negative cases. CONCLUSION:These data suggest that claudin-4 contributes to platinum resistance in ovarian cancer and may be a potential target in the treatment of platinum-resistant tumors. |
