Summary
Aim:
Trefoil peptides are a family of small proteins that are expressed in a site-specific fashion by certain epithelial tissues. These peptides might be used as markers for neoplastic uterine disease.
Design:
Experimental study.
Setting:
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Hospital, Medical Faculty, Palacký University, Olomouc; Department of Laboratory Biochemistry, Central Moravian Hospital Trust, Member of Agel holding, Prostějov.
Methods:
During the time period from 2012 to 2015 eighty-nine women underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy for postmenopausal bleeding. Fifty three patients, at the age of (mean ± standard deviation) 63,4 ± 9,5 (33–80) years were diagnosed with endometrial cancer, six patients at the age of 62,9 ± 6,4 (55–74) years were diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia and thirty patients at the age of 63,3 ± 9,3 (48–62) years diagnosed with endometrial atrophy represented control group. At the day of surgery the venous blood was sampled and subsequently examined for the levels of TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3.
Results:
TFF3 levels were significantly higher in patients with endometrial carcinoma but not in endometrial hyperplasia subgroup. The levels of TFF1 and TFF2 were not different in selected histopathological subgroups.
Conclusion:
We have shown elevated levels of TFF3 but not of TFF1 and TFF2 in patients with endometrial cancer. TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3 levels were not elevated in patients with endometrial hyperplasia.
