Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between kinesin family proteins 2C (KIF2C) and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. Methods Totally 151 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent surgery in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2010 to December 2020 were selected. Among them, 98 patients were sensitive to platinum chemotherapy and 53 patients were resistant to platinum chemotherapy. The expression of KIF2C in chemosensitive and chemoresistant ovarian cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of KIF2C was significantly lower in the chemoresistant tissues of ovarian cancer. KIF2C and pathological stage ⅢC are the risk factors of chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer. Conclusion KIF2C may become a marker for predicting the chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer patients and a new therapeutic target in resistant ovarian cancer.

Key words: chemotherapy resistance, ovarian cancer, kinesin family proteins 2C (KIF2C)
