PAX2 induces vascular‑like structures in normal ovarian cells and ovarian cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In adult tissue, the paired box 2 (PAX2) protein is expressed in healthy oviductal, but not normal ovarian surface epithelial cells. PAX2 is expressed in a subset of cases of serous ovarian carcinoma; however, the role of PAX2 in the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to determine the biological effects of PAX2 expression in normal and cancerous epithelial cells. By culturing the normal and cancerous ovarian cells that express PAX2 in 3D culture and staining the cells with vasculogenic mimicry markers such as CD31 and PAS, it was shown that PAX2 overexpression in both normal and cancerous ovarian epithelial cells induced formation of vascular‑like structures both <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em>. These results indicated a potential role of PAX2 in ovarian cancer progression by increasing the presence of vascular‑like structures to promote the supply of nutrients to tumor cells and facilitate cancer cell proliferation and invasion.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
