Expression of FAM83H and ZNF16 are associated with shorter survival of patients with gallbladder carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Recently, FAM83H was reported to have roles in cancer progression in conjunction with oncogenic molecules such as MYC and b-catenin. Moreover, the data from the public database indicates a molecular relationship between FAM83H and zinc finger proteins, especially between FAM83H and ZNF16. However, studies on FAM83H and ZNF16 in gallbladder cancer have been limited. METHODS:This study investigated the expression of FAM83H and ZNF16 in 105 gallbladder carcinomas. RESULTS:In human gallbladder carcinomas, immunohistochemical expression of FAM83H was significantly associated with ZNF16 expression. In univariate analysis, nuclear and cytoplasmic expression of FAM83H or ZNF16 were significantly associated with shorter survival of gallbladder carcinoma patients. Multivariate analysis revealed the nuclear expression of FAM83H as an independent indicator of poor prognosis of overall survival (p =?0.005) and relapse-free survival (p =?0.005) of gallbladder carcinoma patients. Moreover, co-expression patterns of nuclear FAM83H and ZNF16 were also independent indicators of shorter survival of gallbladder carcinoma patients (overall survival; p

Project description:A-kinase-interacting protein 1 (AKIP1), as a recently discovered oncoprotein, promotes cell malignant behaviors in gynecological malignancies. To the best of our knowledge, no study reports its clinical value in patients with endometrial carcinoma. The present study aimed to explore the association between AKIP1 expression and clinical features and survival in patients with endometrial carcinoma, and to assess the effect of AKIP1 knockdown on the regulation of chemosensitivity in vitro. The tumor and adjacent tissue specimens from 101 patients with endometrial carcinoma were retrieved for AKIP1 protein expression analysis using an immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. Meanwhile, specimens from 54 patients with endometrial carcinoma were analyzed for AKIP1 mRNA expression using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Furthermore, an in vitro experiment was conducted in the Ishikawa cell line to determine the effect of AKIP1 modification on the chemosensitivity of cisplatin and paclitaxel. AKIP1 IHC score (P<0.001) and mRNA expression levels (P<0.001) were increased in tumor tissues compared with those in adjacent tissues. Moreover, increased AKIP1 IHC score was associated with lymphovascular invasion (P=0.007), advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (P=0.002) and shorter overall survival (OS) time (P=0.035) in the patients with endometrial carcinoma. Meanwhile, upregulated AKIP1 mRNA expression levels were associated with lymphovascular invasion (P=0.020) and advanced FIGO stage (P=0.027) in the patients with endometrial carcinoma. Multivariate Cox regression showed that tumor AKIP1 protein expression (high vs. low) independently predicted a shorter OS time (P=0.036). Silencing of AKIP1 decreased Ishikawa cell viability when treated with 5, 10, 20 and 40 µM cisplatin (all P<0.05) and decreased the half maximal inhibitory concentration value of cisplatin (P=0.003), whereas its effect on paclitaxel chemosensitivity was less obvious. Overall, elevated AKIP1 expression was associated with tumor invasion, shorter survival time and decreased chemosensitivity in endometrial carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundDiffuse gliomas (WHO grade II-IV) are progressive primary brain tumors with great variability in prognosis. Cognitive deficits are of important prognostic value for survival in diffuse gliomas. Until now, few studies focused on domain-specific neuropsychological assessment and rather used MMSE as a measure for cognitive functioning. Additionally, these studies did not take WHO 2016 diagnosis into account. We performed a retrospective cohort study with the aim to investigate the independent relationship between cognitive functioning and survival in treatment-naive patients undergoing awake surgery for a diffuse glioma.MethodsIn patients undergoing awake craniotomy between 2010 and 2017, we performed pre-operative neuropsychological assessments in five cognitive domains, with special attention for the domains executive functioning and memory. We evaluated the independent relation between these domains and survival, in a Cox proportional hazards model that included state-of-the-art integrated histomolecular ('layered' or WHO-2016) classification of the gliomas and other known prognostic factors.ResultsWe included 197 patients. Cognitive impairments (Z-values ≦ - 2.0) were most frequent in the domains memory (18.3%) and executive functioning (25.9%). Impairments in executive functioning and memory were significantly correlated with survival, even after correcting for the possible confounders. Analyses with the domains language, psychomotor speed, and visuospatial functioning yielded no significant results. Extensive domain-specific neuropsychological assessment was more strongly correlated to survival than MMSE.ConclusionCognitive functioning is independently related to survival in diffuse glioma patients. Possible mechanisms underlying this relationship include the notion of cognitive functioning as a marker for diffuse infiltration of the tumor and the option that cognitive functioning and survival are determined by overlapping genetic pathways and biomarkers.
