L1TD1 - a prognostic marker for colon cancer.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Prognostic markers specific to a particular cancer type can assist in the evaluation of survival probability of patients and help clinicians to assess the available treatment modalities. METHODS:Gene expression data was analyzed from three independent colon cancer microarray gene expression data sets (N?=?1052). Survival analysis was performed for the three data sets, stratified by the expression level of the LINE-1 type transposase domain containing 1 (L1TD1). Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the role of the interactome of L1TD1 in colon cancer patients. RESULTS:We found L1TD1 as a novel positive prognostic marker for colon cancer. Increased expression of L1TD1 associated with longer disease-free survival in all the three data sets. Our results were in contrast to a previous study on medulloblastoma, where high expression of L1TD1 was linked with poor prognosis. Notably, in medulloblastoma L1TD1 was co-expressed with its interaction partners, whereas our analysis revealed lack of co-expression of L1TD1 with its interaction partners in colon cancer. CONCLUSIONS:Our results identify increased expression of L1TD1 as a prognostic marker predicting longer disease-free survival in colon cancer patients.
