Liver receptor homologue 1, a novel prognostic marker in colon cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: Liver receptor homologue 1 (LRH-1) is an orphan nuclear receptor that is highly expressed in a variety of cancer tissues, promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, and is involved in the tumor cell cycle and apoptosis. The aim of the present study was to assess the association between the expression of LRH-1 and the prognosis of patients with colon cancer. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of LRH1 in 128 cases of colon cancer and adjacent tissues. The 5-year survival rate was obtained from telephone follow-up data, outpatient review and through access to medical records. Positive expression of LRH-1 was found in 108/128 colon cancer samples, compared with 17/128 normal tissues. Statistical analysis showed that positive LRH-1 expression was significantly associated with clinical pathological stage, depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis. The overall survival (OS) rate of patients with positive LRH-1 expression was significantly lower than that of patients with low expression. Multivariate analysis showed that LRH-1 expression could be used as an independent predictor of OS. In conclusion, the present findings suggest that LRH-1 may serve an important role in the development and progression of colon cancer, with potential value as a prognostic molecular marker that could be used to assist in the diagnosis and evaluation of colon cancer. LRH-1 may become a target for novel therapies for patients with colon cancer.

Project description:It has been confirmed that the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) based on peripheral blood neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte counts can be used for the prognostication of patients with various malignant tumors. However, the prognostic value of SIRI in cervical cancer patients has not yet been reported. This study found that a higher SIRI was related to lymphovascular invasion and was also significantly associated with FIGO stage, radiotherapy, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) but not related to other clinical and pathological parameters. According to the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, a high SIRI was associated with the poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients in the primary and validation groups. SIRI, NLR, PLR, and MLR can all be used to determine the prognosis of patients with operable cervical cancer. Moreover, it was confirmed that only SIRI was an independent prognostic factor for patients with operable cervical cancer. The same result was obtained in the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. In the ROC curve analysis, SIRI was more accurate in predicting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Then, a nomogram was established based on SIRI, FIGO stage and lymphovascular invasion, which could determine the prognosis of cervical cancer patients more accurately than FIGO stage. The validation cohort showed the same results. In addition, the changes in SIRI relative to the baseline value at 4-8 weeks after surgery were closely related to the survival of cervical cancer patients. Compared with those with unchanged SIRI (absolute value of variation <25%), cervical cancer patients with an increase in SIRI > 75% had worse OS (P < 0.001), while patients with a decrease in SIRI > 75% had a better prognosis (P < 0.001). SIRI can serve as a new independent prognostic index and a potential marker for therapeutic response monitoring in patients with curable cervical cancer. Compared with the traditional FIGO staging system, the nomogram integrating SIRI can predict the survival of cervical cancer patients more objectively and reliably after radical surgery.
