Decreased expression of SATB2: a novel independent prognostic marker of worse outcome in laryngeal carcinoma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the expression and role of special AT-rich sequence-binding protein-2 (SATB2) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) tissue and cell line (HEp2), and to evaluate the clinical and prognostic significance of SATB2 protein in patients with LSCC.

Methods

The expression of SATB2 was examined in LSCC tissue and HEp2 cells by Western-blotting, Real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining. Cell growth curve assay and colony formation assay were used to verify the effect of SATB2 on the proliferation and tumor progression ability of HEp2 cells. Tumor formation assay in nude mice was used to analyze the effect of SATB2 on the tumorigenicity of HEp2 cells.

Results

The status of SATB2 protein in carcinoma tissues is much lower than that in paracarcinoma tissues. The overall survival of the patients with high SATB2 expression was significantly higher than the low SATB2 expression group. Lower or negative SATB2 expression was significantly correlated with advanced clinical staging, histological grade and tumor recurrence. In vitro experiments demonstrated that over-expression of SATB2 in HEp2 cells inhibited cell proliferation and tumor progression ability, and down-regulation of SATB2 showed the opposite effects. Over-expression of SATB2 repressed the tumorigenicity of HEp2 cells by in vivo experiments. Moreover, multivariate analysis suggested that SATB2 expression might be an independent prognostic indicator for the survival of LSCC patients after curative surgery.

Conclusions

SATB2 might involve in the development and progression of LSCC as a tumor suppressor, and thereby may be a valuable prognostic marker for LSCC patients.

Project description:Gasdermin (GSDM) family members are involved in numerous biological processes, including pyroptosis, as well as in the initiation and progression of various types of cancer. However, the specific role of GSDM genes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has yet to be fully clarified. The present study investigated the differential expression and genetic alterations GSDM genes, their effects on prognosis and immune modulation, and their functional enrichment in ccRCC. Several bioinformatics databases were used, including UALCAN, The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Metascape, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource, GSCALite and cBioPortal. The results revealed that the expression levels of GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC and GSDMD were significantly upregulated in cancer tissues compared with those in paracancerous tissues in patients with ccRCC, whereas the expression of DFNB59 exhibited the opposite trend. The results were experimentally validated in patients with ccRCC, and it was confirmed that the expression levels of GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD and GSDME (DFNA5) were significantly enhanced, whereas (PJVK, DFNB59) expression was reduced. In addition, elevated GSDMB, GSDMD and DFNA5 expression levels were clearly associated with worse pathological characteristics of ccRCC, including a high pathological stage and high tumor grade. Furthermore, the high expression levels of GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, DFNA5 and PJVK were shown to be associated with worse overall survival (OS) and progression-free interval in patients with ccRCC. Both univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that the expression of GSDMB was independently associated with the OS of patients with ccRCC. Additionally, a high mutation rate of GSDM genes (33%) was observed in patients with ccRCC, and GSDM gene mutations were also significantly associated with a poor OS in patients with ccRCC. Significant associations between GSDM genes and ccRCC immunoprofiling and drug sensitivity were also determined. In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that GSDMB, GSDMD and DFNA5 may be considered promising therapeutic agents and potential biomarkers for patients with ccRCC. Furthermore, GSDMB could act as an independent predictor for the OS of patients with ccRCC.
