Abstract

Frequent mutation of the ARID1A gene has been recently identified in ovarian clear‑cell adenocarcinoma (CCA); however, the clinical significance of BAF250a expression encoded by the ARID1A gene remains to be determined. The aim of the present study was to assess whether BAF250a expression had an impact on the clinical features of CCA. A total of 97 cases of CCA treated at a single institution were enrolled in the present study. The tissue samples were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. BAF250a-deficient expression was observed in 30% (29/97) of all CCA cases. Of this, 19% of non‑atypical endometriosis, 26% of atypical endometriosis, 39% of endometriosis‑related CCA, 5% of benign clear‑cell adenofibroma (CCAF), 5% of borderline CCAF and 10% of CCAF‑related CCA. BAF250a‑deficient expression was significantly more frequent in endometriosis‑related CCA compared with that in CCAF‑related CCA (P=0.02). No significant difference was observed in the response rate of primary chemotherapy according to BAF250a expression status (P=0.48). Additionally, BAF250a expression status was not significantly correlated with progression‑free and overall survival in patients with CCA. Although loss of BAF250a expression was associated with early tumorigenesis in endometriosis‑related CCA, this alteration was not significantly correlated with chemosensitivity and prognoses of CCA. Further biomarker analyses, including BAF250a expression, are required to improve the prognoses of CCA.
