CLEC4M is associated with poor prognosis and promotes cisplatin resistance in NSCLC patients.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the foundation of treatment for major non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, cisplatin resistance is still a challenging issue, and the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance remain to be fully explored. CLEC4M, a Ca2+-dependent C-type lectin, has recently been found to correlate with tumourigenesis. This study mainly focused on whether CLEC4M impacts clinical prognosis and how CLEC4M contributes to cisplatin resistance in NSCLC. Our results found that CLEC4M was correlated with poor prognosis in patients with lung cancer. In addition, a positive association between CLEC4M expression and the IC50 values of cisplatin was found, which suggests that CLEC4M may impact cisplatin sensitivity. In vitro results from cultured A549 and H1299 cells confirmed that CLEC4M could enhance cisplatin resistance, while CLEC4M knockdown led to higher sensitivity to cisplatin in these cells. Further experiments showed that the underlying mechanisms included inhibition of cisplatin-induced cell apoptosis by CLEC4M and improved DNA repair capacity by upregulating XPA and ERCC1 expression. In addition, CLEC4M was able to promote cell migration with or without cisplatin treatment. Collectively, these findings suggest the potential clinical significance of CLEC4M inhibition in overcoming cisplatin resistance in NSCLC patients.

High expression levels of CLEC4M indicate poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:The identification of novel and accurate biomarkers is important to improve the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). C-Type lectin domain family 4 member M (CLEC4M) is involved in the progression of numerous cancer types. However, the clinical significance of CLEC4M in HCC is yet to be elucidated. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the involvement of CLEC4M in HCC progression. The expression level of CLEC4M was determined in tumor, and their corresponding adjacent non-tumor tissues derived from 88 patients with HCC, using immunohistochemistry, western blot and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The correlation between CLEC4M expression and certain clinicopathological characteristics was retrospectively analyzed. The results suggested that CLEC4M was specifically labeled in sinusoidal endothelial cells, in both HCC and non-tumor tissues. Moreover, the expression of CLEC4M in tumor tissues was significantly lower than that in non-tumor tissues (P<0.0001), which indicated its potential as a biomarker of the development of HCC. Subsequently, correlation analysis suggested that the relatively higher CLEC4M expression in HCC tissues was significantly associated with increased microvascular invasion (P=0.008), larger tumor size (P=0.018), absence of tumor encapsulation (P<0.0001) and lower tumor differentiation (P=0.019). Notably, patients with high CLEC4M expression levels in their tumor tissues experienced more frequent recurrence and shorter overall survival (OS) times compared with the low-expression group. Furthermore, CLEC4M expression in tumor tissues was identified as an independent and significant risk factor for recurrence-free survival and OS. The results of the present study suggest that CLEC4M may be a valuable biomarker for the prognosis of the patients with HCC, postoperatively.

HDAC10 Is Positively Associated With PD-L1 Expression and Poor Prognosis in Patients With NSCLC.

Project description:Currently, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a major worldwide health problem. Meanwhile accumulating evidence indicates that histone deacetylase (HDAC) activation could induce PD-L1 expression in various types of cancer, especially in myeloma and B-cell lymphomas. Therefore, we hypothesized that high-level expression of HDAC10 is associated with PD-L1 induction and poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC. In total 180 NSCLC patients receiving complete pulmonary resection and systematic lymph node dissection were enrolled from April 2004 to August 2009. The patients with integrated clinicopathological records were followed up. The expression level of HDAC10 and PD-L1 in tissue samples was determined by immunohistochemistry. We observed that HDAC10 expression in lung cancer tissue is significantly higher than that in corresponding para-cancer tissue. Moreover, HDAC10 expression positively correlated with the expression level of PD-L1 (r = 0.213, P < 0.05) in NSCLC patients. Subgroup, multivariate analysis showed that the expression level of HDAC10 can be an independent prognostic factor and high-level expression of HDAC10 indicated poor overall survival for pulmonary carcinoma (r = 0.540, P < 0.001). Our findings suggest that the expression level of HDAC10 is positively associated with PD-L1 expression and may predict the outcome of patients with NSCLC.

KIFC1 Is Associated with Basal Type, Cisplatin Resistance, PD-L1 Expression and Poor Prognosis in Bladder Cancer.

Project description:Kinesin family member C1 (KIFC1), a minus end-directed motor protein, is reported to play an essential role in cancer. This study aimed to analyze KIFC1 expression and examine KIFC1 involvement in cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer (BC). Immunohistochemistry showed that 37 of 78 (47.4%) BC cases were positive for KIFC1. KIFC1-positive cases were associated with high T stage and lymph node metastasis. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that KIFC1-positive cases were associated with poor prognosis, consistent with the results from public databases. Molecular classification in several public databases indicated that KIFC1 expression was increased in basal type BC. Immunohistochemistry showed that KIFC1-positive cases were associated with basal markers 34βE12, CK5 and CD44. KIFC1 expression was increased in altered TP53 compared to that in wild-type TP53. Immunohistochemistry showed that KIFC1-positive cases were associated with p53-positive cases. P53 knockout by CRISPR-Cas9 induced KIFC1 expression in BC cell lines. Knockdown of KIFC1 by siRNA increased the sensitivity to cisplatin in BC cells. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that prognosis was poor among KIFC1-positive BC patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Immunohistochemistry showed that KIFC1-positive cases were associated with PD-L1-positive cases. High KIFC1 expression was associated with a favorable prognosis in patients treated with atezolizumab from the IMvigor 210 study. These results suggest that KIFC1 might be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in BC.

LAPTM4B is associated with poor prognosis in NSCLC and promotes the NRF2-mediated stress response pathway in lung cancer cells.

Project description:We recently demonstrated that lysosomal protein transmembrane 4 beta (LAPTM4B) is elevated in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) and in the surrounding premalignant airway field of cancerization. In the present study, we sought to begin to understand the relevance of LAPTM4B expression and signaling to NSCLC pathogenesis. In situ hybridization analysis of LAPTM4B transcript in tissue microarrays comprised of 368 NSCLCs demonstrated that LAPTM4B expression was significantly increased in smoker compared to non-smoker lung adenocarcinoma tumors (P?<?0.001) and was significantly associated with poor overall survival (P?<?0.05) in adenocarcinoma patients. Knockdown of LAPTM4B expression inhibited cell growth, induced cellular apoptosis and decreased cellular autophagy in serum starved lung cancer cells. Expression profiling coupled with pathways analysis revealed decreased activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NRF2) stress response pathway following LAPTM4B knockdown. Further analysis demonstrated that LAPTM4B augmented the expression and nuclear translocation of the NRF2 transcription factor following serum deprivation as well as increased the expression of NRF2 target genes such as heme oxygenase 1/HMOX1). Our study points to the relevance of LAPTM4B expression to NSCLC pathogenesis as well as to the probable role of LAPTM4B/NRF2 signaling in promoting lung cancer cell survival.

Increased interleukin-6 expression is associated with poor prognosis and acquired cisplatin resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Increased expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6) is associated with poor prognosis and chemoresistance in many different carcinomas, but its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still unsettled. Analyzing tumorous mRNA expression data from 399 HNSCC patients revealed that high IL-6 expression predicted poor prognosis. Similar tendency was observed in platinum treated patients, suggesting an IL-6 associated cisplatin resistance. IL-6 increase was also found in two in-house acquired cisplatin‑resistant HNSCC cell lines (both basaloid and conventional squamous cell carcinoma) by using microarray analysis. However, although the in-house acquired cisplatin-resistant cell lines had higher basal and markedly increased cisplatin-induced IL-6 expression, IL-6 did not mediate the cisplatin resistance as neither exogenous IL-6 nor IL-6R/gp130 inhibitors affected cisplatin sensitivity. Moreover, the IL-6/STAT3 pathway was impaired in the resistant cell lines, partly due to decreased IL-6R expression. Thus, high IL-6 expression correlated to poor prognosis and acquired cisplatin resistance, but it did not mediate cisplatin resistance in the HNSCC cell lines.

Decreased Preoperative Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Was Related With Poor Prognosis of NSCLC Patients.

Project description:(1) BACKGROUND:The coexistence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cancer is common due to the increased incidence of cancer in patients with CKD. Glomerular filtration rate is the optimal way to measure kidney function. To date, little is known about the role preoperative renal function plays in the prognosis of NSCLC patients. (2) METHODS:The study enrolled 140 patients who had been newly diagnosed NSCLC and received potential radical surgery for treatment from 2009 January to 2012 December. The detailed characteristics were collected including gender, age, smoking and drinking habits, KPS score, hemoglobin levels, tumor size, pathology type, differentiation, pTNM stage and serum creatinine before surgery. Univariate and multivariate analyses of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were performed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox model. (3) RESULTS:The univariate analysis identified that the pTNM stage (p < 0.001), eGFR level (p = 0.006), and adjuvant treatment (p = 0.007) were prognostic factors for OS, while drinking habit (p = 0.032), pTNM stage (p = 0.002) and eGFR level (p = 0.006) were the prognostic factors for DFS. Further multivariate analysis found that pTNM stage (HR = 2.091, 95% CI 1.424-3.071; p < 0.001) and eGFR level (HR = 1.890, 95% CI 1.424-3.071; p = 0.004) were independent factors associated with OS. The pTNM stage (HR = 1.735, CI 1.215-2.479; p = 0.002) and eGFR (HR = 1.793, CI 1.193-2.696; p = 0.005) were independent factors associated with DFS. Further subgroup analyses found that in female patients/ no smoking patients/ patients younger than 60 years, better eGFR level was significantly associated with better OS and DFS. (4) CONCLUSIONS:Decreased preoperative eGFR was associated with poor clinical outcome of NSCLC patients.

Th1high in tumor microenvironment is an indicator of poor prognosis for patients with NSCLC.

Project description:CD4+Th subsets play an important role in tumor progression but their expression characteristics and clinical significance in human tumor microenvironment remains unclear. In this study, we aim to analyze the expression and clinical significance of tissue-infiltrating Th1, Th2 and Th17 in lung cancer by flow cytometry. We found that the frequency of CD3+CD4+IFN-γ+Th1 in tumor nest was significantly lower than that in tumor boundary, adjacent normal lung tissue or corresponding lymph node tissue; the frequency of CD3+CD4+IL-4+Th2 in tumor nest was significantly higher than that in tumor boundary, adjacent normal lung tissue or corresponding lymph node tissue; the frequency of CD3+CD4+IL-17+Th17 in tumor nest was significantly lower than that in tumor boundary, but not adjacent normal tissue or corresponding lymph node tissue. Survival analysis of 2-years survival after surgery showed that Th1high group was significantly lower compared with Th1low group; Th2high and Th17low is a good prognosis index compared with the Th2low and Th17high groups respectively, but this difference failed to significance. In addition, we also found that PD-1 expression showed a high level on lung tumor tissues and adjacent non- tumor tissue infiltrating T cells, and no significant difference was found between the two groups. However PD-L1 on CD45+CD14+mononcytes/macrophages in tumor tissue show a significantly higher level compared with that in adjacent nontumor tissues. In vitro stimulation experiments showed that IFN-γ could significantly increase PD-L1 expression on monocyte. In conclusion, we for the first time found Th1high is a poor indicator for prognosis of lung cancer.

Downregulation of the long non-coding RNA TUSC7 promotes NSCLC cell proliferation and correlates with poor prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging evidence indicated that dysregulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) was implicated in the tumorigenesis and progression. LncRNA TUSC7 was involved in various malignancies. However, the role of TUSC7 in human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear.MethodsExpression of TUSC7 was analyzed in 112 cases of NSCLC tissues and six lung cancer cell lines by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Then the correlation of TUSC7 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis was aslo studied. Furthermore, overexpression of TUSC7 was performed and its role in tumor progression was explored.ResultsThe expression level of TUSC7 was lower in NSCLC tissues and lung cancer cells compared with their normal counterparts. Lower expression of TUSC7 in NSCLC tissues was associated with larger tumor size and higher TNM stage. Patients with lower TUSC7 expression had worse overall survival compared with the high expression cases. Univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that low expression of TUSC7 was an independent poor prognostic indicator for NSCLC patients. Moreover, upregulation of TUSC7 expression could inhibit proliferation of lung cancer cell in vitro.ConclusionsOur results suggested that TUSC7 was a potential biomarker for NSCLC prognosis, and the dysregulation of TUSC7 may play an important role in the NSCLC progression.

Elevated Stratifin promotes cisplatin-based chemotherapy failure and poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Drug resistance is a key factor in the treatment failure of clinical non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after adjuvant chemotherapy. Here, our results provide the first evidence that eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2b subunit delta (EIF2B4)-Stratifin (SFN) fusion and increased SFN expression are associated with chemotherapy tolerance and activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway in NSCLC patients, suggesting that SFN might have potential prognostic value as a tumor biomarker for the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.

CD73 promotes anthracycline resistance and poor prognosis in triple negative breast cancer.

Project description:Using gene-expression data from over 6,000 breast cancer patients, we report herein that high CD73 expression is associated with a poor prognosis in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). Because anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimens are standard treatment for TNBC, we investigated the relationship between CD73 and anthracycline efficacy. In TNBC patients treated with anthracycline-only preoperative chemotherapy, high CD73 gene expression was significantly associated with a lower rate of pathological complete response or the disappearance of invasive tumor at surgery. Using mouse models of breast cancer, we demonstrated that CD73 overexpression in tumor cells conferred chemoresistance to doxorubicin, a commonly used anthracycline, by suppressing adaptive antitumor immune responses via activation of A2A adenosine receptors. Targeted blockade of CD73 enhanced doxorubicin-mediated antitumor immune responses and significantly prolonged the survival of mice with established metastatic breast cancer. Taken together, our data suggest that CD73 constitutes a therapeutic target in TNBC.
