PHGDH is increased in platin-resistant ovarian cancer and predicts poor prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. (A) PHGDH expression was assessed using Western blot in platin-sensitive (parental) and their platin-resistant (DDP) SKOV3 and A2780 cells. The relative expression was noted under the blots. (B) PHGDH expression was investigated in 16 cisplatin-sensitive and nine cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer tissues using Western blot. (C) Ovarian cancer tissue microarray was subjected to immunohistochemical staining, and representative images of immunohistochemistry staining with PHGDH were presented. (D) Kalpan–Meier plot shows the overall survival of patients with ovarian cancer grouped by PHGDH expression.
