Prognostic Value of ANXA8 in Gastric Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Gastric carcinoma (GC) remains one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. In China, the incidence and mortality rates related to GC were quite high. Annexin A8 (ANXA8) is a member of the annexins family of calcium-dependent membrane phospholipid binding proteins. According to recent research, the up-regulation of ANXA8 is closely associated with various types of tumors. However, the specific role of ANXA8 in GC remains unclear. In our study, we explored the prognostic value of ANXA8 in GC. Here, with the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE19826 and GSE13861) analyzed, we further performed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) using 58 pairs of fresh-frozen tissues. We also subjected 152 pairs of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded GC tumor tissues from patients, and the adjacent normal gastric tissues (ANGTs) to immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. Hence, we found an elevated expression of ANXA8 in tumor tissues with bioinformatics analyses, qRT-PCR, western blot and IHC. Over-expression of ANXA8 was strongly correlated with TNM stages and differentiation grades. Kaplan-Meier and cox proportional-hazard analyses showed that the increased expression of ANXA8 was strongly associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in GC patients. Moreover, we found that ANXA8 is an independent prognostic factor of GC patients' OS and DFS. In brief, those results suggest that ANXA8 can act as an oncogene of GC development and can serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for GC treatment.

Project description:The overexpression of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-stat3) was detected in a variety of human tumors. The published studies on p-stat3 expression among gastric carcinoma patients remain controversial.In order to clarify the prognosis value of p-stat3 with overall survival and its association with clinicopathological characteristics in gastric carcinoma, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis.Eligible studies were retrieved by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Chinese biomedical literature service system databases.Studies described the association between p-stat3 expression and clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival in gastric carcinoma patients; p-stat3 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC).Odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR) were considered as a measure of evaluating the association in meta-analysis; I was used to assess the heterogeneity across studies; publication bias was assessed with funnel plot, Egger test, and Begg test.Twenty-three studies including 2872 patients which evaluated the p-stat3 expression by IHC in gastric carcinoma were included. The pooled HR (HR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.49-2.73, P < 0.00001) indicated that the increased p-stat3 expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival. In addition, when we investigated the association between p-stat3 overexpression and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric carcinoma, we found that the increased p-stat3 expression was significantly associated with tumor differentiation (poorly vs well-moderately: OR = 3.70, 95% CI: 1.98-6.93, P < 0.0001) and lymph node metastasis (present vs absent: OR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.28-4.50, P = 0.007).The different type of primary antibody was used; the assessment methods of p-stat3 positive expression were defined differently; the locations of p-stat3 expression were different; the method of extrapolating HR from Kaplan-Meier survival curves did seem to be less reliable than when HR was extracted directly from literatures; sample sizes, the age of patients, and the follow-up durations are different.In conclusion, our meta-analysis indicates that the increased p-stat3 expression may be not only predict poor prognosis, but also be associated with worse tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric carcinoma.

Project description:Previous studies have reported that alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzymes possess diagnostic value in gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognostic value of ADH isoenzymes in GC remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify the prognostic value of ADH genes in patients with GC. The prognostic value of ADH genes was investigated in patients with GC using the Kaplan-Meier plotter tool. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to assess the difference between groups of patients with GC with different prognoses. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the relative risk of GC survival. Overall, 593 patients with GC and 7 ADH genes were included in the survival analysis. High expression of ADH 1A (class 1), ? polypeptide (ADH1A; log-rank P=0.043; HR=0.79; 95% CI: 0.64-0.99), ADH 1B (class 1), ? polypeptide (ADH1B; log-rank P=1.9×10-05; HR=0.65; 95% CI: 0.53-0.79) and ADH 5 (class III), ? polypeptide (ADH5; log-rank P=0.0011; HR=0.73; 95% CI: 0.6-0.88) resulted in a significantly decreased risk of mortality in all patients with GC compared with patients with low expression of those genes. Furthermore, protective effects may additionally be observed in patients with intestinal-type GC with high expression of ADH1B (log-rank P=0.031; HR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.43-0.96) and patients with diffuse-type GC with high expression of ADH1A (log-rank P=0.014; HR=0.51; 95% CI: 0.3-0.88), ADH1B (log-rank P=0.04; HR=0.53; 95% CI: 0.29-0.98), ADH 4 (class II), ? polypeptide (log-rank P=0.033; HR=0.58; 95% CI: 0.35-0.96) and ADH 6 (class V) (log-rank P=0.037; HR=0.59; 95% CI: 0.35-0.97) resulting in a significantly decreased risk of mortality compared with patients with low expression of those genes. In contrast, patients with diffuse-type GC with high expression of ADH5 (log-rank P=0.044; HR=1.66; 95% CI: 1.01-2.74) were significantly correlated with a poor prognosis. The results of the present study suggest that ADH1A and ADH1B may be potential prognostic biomarkers of GC, whereas the prognostic value of other ADH genes requires further investigation.

Project description:PurposeAutophagy-related proteins (ATG) play a crucial role in autophagy. Recently, the functions of autophagy in cancer have been gathering attention. However, the prognostic value of ATGs in gastric cancer (GC) has not been explored.MethodsThe Kaplan-Meier plotter (KM plotter) online database was used to examine the value of ATGs gene expression levels in overall survival (OS) prediction in GC patients with different clinical stage, differentiation, gender, HER2 status, and therapeutic strategy. In vitro experiments applied VE-822, an effective GC treatment, to assess cell migration and proliferation in gastric mucosa epithelial cells, and real-time PCR was used to measure alterations of autophagy-related gene expression.ResultsHigh ATG3, ATG4C, ATG5, and ATG10 mRNA levels were associated with good OS, while increased ATG4B, ATG7, ATG12, ATG16L1, and TECPR1 mRNA levels related to unfavorable OS in patients with GC. ATG12 overexpression had different effects on OS due to high levels of heterogeneity. High ATG12 expression was correlated with good OS in female patients with GC and with bad OS for male patients. Additionally, the increased ATG12 expression was more likely to get a satisfactory OS in patients who underwent surgery alone but was associated with poor OS for patients treated with 5-FU adjuvant. In addition, elevated TECPR1 expression was related to favorable OS for patients with poorly differentiated type, while for patients with moderate differentiation, it was relevant to poor OS. The in vitro experiments showed that berzosertib could significantly inhibit the migration and proliferation of human gastric mucosa epithelial cells, and further real-time PCR assessment of ATG expressions partially coincided with the bioinformation analysis above.ConclusionThese results indicate that individual ATGs have unique prognostic significance interpreted using Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis and in vitro experiments, and this may help guide clinical therapeutic strategy and promote OS by individualizing therapy for GC patients.
