PRR11 Is a Prognostic Marker and Potential Oncogene in Patients with Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: PRR11 is a potential candidate oncogene that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, however the role of PRR11 in gastric cancer is currently unclear. In the present study, we investigated the role of PRR11 in gastric cancer by evaluating its expression status in samples from a cohort of 216 patients with gastric cancer. PRR11 was found to be overexpressed in 107 (49.5%) patients by immunohistochemistry of tissue microarrays generated using the patient samples. Furthermore, PRR11 overexpression was found to correlate significantly with clinicopathologic features such as tumor invasion, tumor differentiation, and disease stage. Survival analysis of the cohort revealed that PRR11 is an independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer patients. PRR11 was stably silenced in a gastric carcinoma cell line using an shRNA-based approach, and treated cells showed decreased cellular proliferation and colony formation in vitro and cell growth in vivo, companied by decreased expression of CTHRC1 and increased expression of LXN, proteins involved in tumor progression. Evaluation of human gastric cancer samples demonstrated that PRR11 expression was also associated with increased CTHRC1 and decreased LXN expression. These data indicate that PRR11 may be widely activated in human gastric cancer and are consistent with the hypothesis that PRR11 functions as an oncogene in the development and progression of gastric cancer.

Project description:Sorting nexin-1 (SNX1) is an important functional protein in cell endocytosis, efflux, protein sorting, cell signal transduction, etc; however, the expression, the role and clinical relevance of SNX1 have not been investigated in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we first performed a bioinformatics investigation using the data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The result showed that SNX1 mRNA levels were significantly lower in GC tissues than in paracancerous tissues. In a study of 150 cases of GC, including 60 cases with paired paracancerous and cancer tissues and 90 cases with detailed follow-up information, SNX1 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Our study on paired paracancerous and cancer tissues showed that SNX1 protein expression remarkably decreased in GC tissues (50/60, 83.33%). A study on 90 patients with detailed follow-up information showed that tumors with higher SNX1 protein level were correlated with better clinicopathologic stages (p = 0.0285), nodal status (p = 0.0286), smaller tumor sizes (p = 0.0294) and a better survival rate in patients with GC (p = 0.0245). Univariate analysis of the 90 patients with GC showed that low-level SNX1 was significantly correlated with decreased overall survival of GC patients (p = 0.008), and associated with a relatively higher cumulative hazard of death. Exogenous expression of SNX1 inhibited the growth, migration, invasion and promoted the apoptosis and enhanced the sensitivity of GC cells to the chemotherapeutic drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) in vitro, while knockdown of SNX1 by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) significantly promoted the growth, migration, invasion and reduced the apoptosis and the sensitivity of GC cells to 5-Fu. SNX1 also showed to influence the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers including Vimentin, Snail, and E-cadherin in GC cells in vitro. Taken together, we propose here that SNX1 serves as a tumor suppressor and prognostic marker that reduces tumor cell malignancy for GC.
