High Expression of TTYH3 is Related to Poor Clinical Outcomes in Human Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Ion channels play important roles in regulating various cellular processes and malignant transformation. Expressions of some chloride channels have been suggested to be associated with patient survival in gastric cancer (GC). However, little is known about the expression and function of TTYH3, a gene encoding a chloride ion channel, in cancer progression. Here, we comprehensively analyzed the expression of TTYH3 and its clinical outcome in GC using publicly available cancer gene expression and patient survival data through various databases. We examined the differences of TTYH3 expression between cancers and their normal tissues using the Oncomine, UALCAN, and GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) databases. TTYH3 expression was investigated from immunohistochemistry images using the Human Protein Atlas database. Copy number alterations and mutations of TTYH3 were analyzed using cBioPortal. The co-expression profile of TTYH3 in GC was revealed using Oncomine. The gene ontology and pathway analyses were done using those co-expressed genes via the Enrichr tool to explore the predicted signaling pathways in GC. TTYH3 mRNA and protein levels in GC were significantly greater than those in normal tissue. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed the upregulation of TTYH3 expression, which was significantly correlated with worse patient survival. Collectively, our data suggest that TTYH3 might be a potential prognostic marker for GC patients.

Project description:Background: Emerging evidence suggests that delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4) and other members of the Notch pathway may offer new targets for development of anti-angiogenesis drugs for the treatment of several tumor types. However, the role of DLL4 in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the impact of DLL4 overexpression on recurrence and survival in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Methods: DLL4 expression levels were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in tissue samples from 336 GC patients. Samples were classified into high and low DLL4 expression according to a cut-off of 50% positively stained cells. The correlation between DLL4 expression and clinicopathological parameters, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were statistically analyzed. Results: High DLL4 expression was observed in 67 (19.9%) of the 336 GC patients. After a median follow-up duration of 54.97 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 52.40-57.55 months), patients at stage II-IV with high DLL4 expression showed significantly poorer DFS compared with those at the same stage but with low DLL4 expression [not reached (NR) for both cohorts, hazard ratio (HR) 0.73 (95% CI, 0.38-1.40); p = 0.007]. Likewise, GC patients with high DLL4 expression had a significantly shorter OS following curative surgery compared to those with low DLL4 expression [NR for both groups, HR 0.56 (95% CI, 0.32-0.96; p = 0.002]. High DLL4 expression had a greater influence on DFS in stage IIIb/IV patients than in patients at early stages [34.87 vs. 10.1 months; HR, 0.44 (95% CI, 0.19-0.96); p = 0.004]. Moreover, stage IIIb/IV patients with high DLL4 expression had a significantly shorter OS after surgery than those with low DLL4 expression [58.87 vs. 16.93 months, HR 0.39 (95% CI, 0.16-0.99), p = 0.001). Conclusion: High DLL4 expression was observed in 19.9% of GC patients and was significantly associated with poor survival following curative surgery. Given its prevalence in the GC cohort with a poor prognosis, DLL4 is a potential therapeutic target.

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:The switching/sucrose non-fermenting (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to remodel nucleosomes and modulate transcription, which plays an important role in tumors by regulating epigenetics. SWI/SNF Related, Matrix Associated, Actin Dependent Regulator of Chromatin, Subfamily C, Member 1 (SMARCC1) has dual roles in tumors but its role in gastric cancer remains unclear. This study was aimed to find the role of SMARCC1 in gastric cancer. SMARCC1 expression across various tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas was analyzed using TIMER 2.0 (http://timer.comp-genomics.org/). SMARCC1 mRNA expression profiles in gastric cell lines and gastric tissues were compared with normal tissues and analyzed in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, Oncomine, and Gene Expression Omnibus databases. SMARCC1 mRNA and protein were then examined in fresh gastric cancer tissues and compared with adjacent normal tissues using quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Associations between SMARCC1 expression and clinicopathological factors, overall survival, and disease-free survival were further evaluated using 130 gastric cancer samples harvested from patients after radical total gastrectomy or subtotal gastrectomy at the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (Changsha, China). SMARCC1 was frequently upregulated in gastric cancer cells and tissues. SMARCC1 overexpression was significantly associated with tumor size (P=0.002), differentiation (P=0.006), depth of invasion (P=0.001), lymph node involvement (P=0.016), and TNM stage (P=0.007). Furthermore, univariate and multivariate Cox analysis revealed that high SMARCC1 expression, depth invasion, lymph node involvement, and TNM stage were independent risk factors for both overall and disease-free survival in gastric cancer patients (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that high SMARCC1 expression predicted poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients (P<0.01). High SMARCC1 expression contributes to poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients. SMARCC1 may be a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in gastric cancer.
