Expression and clinical significance of KDM5A, KDM5B, and FOXO1 in endometrial cancer

Abstract

There is growing evidence that the KDM5 family of histone demethylases plays a causal role in human cancer. However, few studies have been reported on the KDM5 family in endometrial carcinoma (EC). Moreover, it was found that there was some correlation between the KDM5 family and FOXO1 in EC. The current study was performed to explore the expressions of KDM5A, KDM5B, and FOXO1 in endometrioid adenocarcinoma detected by immunohistochemistry; paracancer endometrium, simple hyperplastic endometrium, and normal endometrium were used as control groups to explore the possible diagnostic value of KDM5A and KDM5B expression in endometrioid adenocarcinoma, with the aim of evaluating the potential of this marker in predicting the prognosis of endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
