High expression of MRE11 correlates with poor prognosis in gastric carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MRE11, a protein known to play a vital role in DNA double-strand break repair, is associated with the prognosis of a variety of tumours, but there are few studies regarding the role of MRE11 in gastric carcinoma (GC). The present study aimed to explore the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of MRE11 expression in GC.

Methods

Data from the TCGA, GEO and Oncomine databases were analysed to assess MRE11 mRNA levels in GC. The prognostic role of the level of MRE11 mRNA was examined via the Kaplan-Meier plotter. MRE11 protein expression in tumour tissues from 155 GC patients was analysed by immunohistochemistry. Relationships between MRE11 expression and clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards regression models and Kaplan-Meier survival curves.

Results

The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that MRE11 mRNA levels in GC tissues were higher than those in normal tissues (P?ConclusionsMRE11 overexpression is significantly associated with poor prognosis, and MRE11 may serve as a prognostic biomarker in GC patients.

Project description:P53-induced gene 11 (PIG11) is an early transcription-related target of p53 that is involved in cell apoptosis and tumor development. However, its biological function in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and relationship with the prognosis of patients with GC have remained elusive. In the present retrospective study, 60 fresh and 790 paraffin-embedded samples of GC were obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Nantong, China) with complete clinical data from all patients. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and tissue microarray-immunohistochemical analysis were used to determine the expression of PIG11 in the respective GC tissues. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the diagnostic utility of PIG11 expression in GC. Furthermore, three online databases, including Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Oncomine and Kaplan-Meier plotter, were used for bioinformatics analysis of PIG11. PIG11 expression in GC tissues was high, which was positively correlated with invasive depth (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (P<0.001), distant metastasis (P=0.019), TNM staging (P<0.001) and carcinoembryonic antigen in serum (P<0.001), and negatively associated with the overall survival of patients with GC. The ROC curve analysis suggested that based on PIG11 expression, it was possible to distinguish GC tissues from adjacent normal tissues (P<0.0001) with a sensitivity and specificity of 81.67 and 76.67%, respectively. In addition, Cox logistic regression analysis demonstrated that high PIG11 expression is a novel biomarker for unfavorable prognosis of patients with GC. Furthermore, the results obtained from the GEPIA database indicated that PIG11 expression is correlated with TNF, carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 5, phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha, VEGFA and kinase insert domain receptor. Therefore, PIG11 expression may be associated with the malignancy of GC and may serve as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for GC.

Project description:BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. Effective biomarkers to aid the early diagnosis of GC, as well as predict the course of disease, are urgently needed. Hence, we explored the role and function of cadherin-6 (CDH6) in the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer.MethodsThe expression levels of CDH6 in cancerous and normal gastric tissue were analyzed using multiple public databases. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. The diagnostic efficiency of CDH6 expression in GC patients was determined through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The associations between clinical variables and CDH6 expression were evaluated statistically, and the prognostic factors for overall survival were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression. 44 GC tissue samples, 20 donor-matched adjacent normal tissue samples, and associated detailed clinical information, were collected from the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. CDH6 expression levels were determined for further validation.ResultsCDH6 was upregulated in GC samples compared to normal gastric tissue. Furthermore, GSEA identified the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor interaction, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and the pentose phosphate pathway as differentially enriched in GC tissue samples. According to the area under the ROC curve (AUC) values (AUC = 0.829 in the TCGA and 0.966 in the GSE54129 dataset), CDH6 expression was associated with high diagnostic efficacy. Patients with high CDH6 levels in their GC tissues had a higher T number (according to the TNM classification) and a worse prognosis than those with low CDH6 expression. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CDH6 was an independent risk factor for overall survival (univariate: HR = 1.305, P = 0.002, multivariate: HR = 1.481, P < 0.001).ConclusionCDH6 was upregulated in GC, and high CDH6 expression was indicative of a higher T number and a worse prognosis. Therefore, CDH6 represents a potentially independent molecular biomarker for the diagnostic and prognostic prediction of GC.
