Plasma Concentrations of Matrilysins (MMP-7, MMP-26) and Stromelysins (MMP-3, MMP-10) as Diagnostic Biomarkers in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Patients
2025
Overview
Ovarian cancer (OC) has an extremely unfavourable prognosis. This is due to its asymptomatic course and lack of screening tests. Therefore, new methods are needed to diagnose OC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations and diagnostic utility of selected matrilysins and stromelysins in the diagnosis of OC in comparison with the classical markers CA125 and HE4. The study group included 100 patients with serous OC, 70 with serous cysts (BL), and 50 healthy women (HW). Selected MMPs were determined by ELISA, routine markers by CMIA. Ovarian cancer patients have elevated concentrations of MMP-7, MMP-26, MMP-10 as well as CA125 and HE4 in the total group and subgroups (stage I + II, and III + IV). The highest values of diagnostic parameters—SP, SE, NPV, PPV, and ACC, as compared to CA125 and HE4, were observed for MMP-7. Performing ROC analyses showed that the highest AUC values were observed for MMP-7, CA125, and HE4, in the whole group of patients and divided into stages I and II according to FIGO. Performing ROC analyses for groups III and IV according to FIGO was associated with an increase in AUC for the MMPs studied. Of the MMPs tested, MMP-7, MMP-26, and MMP-10 have the highest potential in diagnostics of serous ovarian cancer patients.
