Prognostic Value of SDF-1? Expression in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Receiving Esophagectomy.

ABSTRACT: Stromal cell-derived factor-1? (SDF-1?) is a chemokine that has been reported to be involved in tumor progression in several malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the crucial role of SDF-1? in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent esophagectomy. A total of 169 patients with ESCC were identified, including overexpression of SDF-1? in 60 patients and low expression of SDF-1? in 109 patients by immunohistochemical analysis. Two ESCC cell lines, TE1 and KYSE30, were selected to evaluate the tumor cell proliferative effect of SDF-1?. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that high tumor (T) status, positive lymph node metastasis, tumors located in the upper esophagus, and SDF-1? overexpression were significantly related to worse disease-free survival and overall survival. In addition, the two cell lines were treated with SDF-1?, AMD3100 (an SDF-1?-ligand receptor antagonist), and chemotherapeutic agents (cisplatin). Our in vitro study results showed that SDF-1? promoted the proliferation of tumor cells, and blocking the SDF-1? pathway displayed a growth inhibition effect in a dose-dependent manner. SDF-1? plays an important role in the progression of ESCC and is an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients who underwent esophagectomy.

Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) is a chemokine that has been reported to be involved in tumor progression in several malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the crucial role of SDF-1α in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent esophagectomy. A total of 169 patients with ESCC were identified, including overexpression of SDF-1α in 60 patients and low expression of SDF-1α in 109 patients by immunohistochemical analysis.

Project description:BackgroundAbsent in melanoma 1-like (AIM1L), also known as crystalline beta gamma domain containing 2. The relationship between AIM1L and tumors has not been fully investigated, and the biological function of AIM1L in different tumors is unknown, so we bioinformatically explored a possible relationship between AIM1L and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).MethodsAIM1L mRNA expression was detected by the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE20347, GSE161533, and GSE53625), and protein level expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between AIM1L expression and clinical pathological characteristics was evaluated by the Wilcoxon signed rank test or chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional risk regression model were used to determine the prognostic value of AIM1L in ESCC patients and establish and verify a nomogram. Find genes highly related to the expression of AIM1L, conduct GO and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, and conduct GSEA analysis on the gene set. The "CIBERSORT" R package was used to explore the relationship between AIM1L and immune infiltration, and the "OncoPredict" R package was used to explore the relationship between AIM1L and drug sensitivity.ResultsCompared with the matched adjacent non-cancer tissues, the expression of AIM1L was down-regulated in ESCC tissues, and correlated with tumor grade. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox analysis showed that the low expression of AIM1L was related to the poor prognosis of ESCC patients. Enrichment analysis explained the possible function of AIM1L, GSEA determined the highly correlated signal pathway of AIM1L low expression phenotype, immune infiltration analysis determined that AIM1L was related to activated NK cells and macrophage M2, and drug sensitivity analysis determined that the low expression of AIM1L might be related to EGFR targeted drug resistance.ConclusionAIM1L may be a candidate tumor suppressor gene for ESCC and an independent molecular biomarker for the prognosis of ESCC patients.

Project description:BackgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma was treated by operation and chemoradiotherapy. However, the prognosis of most patients is poor after treatment, and most studies have shown that FGF2 and its receptor (FGFR) are involved in the development of various malignant tumors. FGF2 plays an important role in tumor progression and malignancy. In this study, the immunohistochemistry of FGF2, FGFR3, and FGFBP1 was used to further verify the expression of the three proteins in 172 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who had not received preoperative chemoradiotherapy and its effect on the prognosis of ESCC.Methods(1) χ 2 test was used to analyze the relationship between proteins and clinicopathological parameters. Survival analysis was used to investigate the effect of three proteins on prognosis. (2) Paired sample t-test was used to analyze the mRNA expression of the three proteins in fresh ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues.ResultsFGF2 was correlated with tumor size (p = 0.026), gender (p = 0.047), and lymph metastasis (p = 0.007) in ESCC tissues. The high expression of FGFR3 was associated with tumor differentiation (p = 0.043 and p < 0.05), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.078 and p < 0.1), and race (p = 0.033 and p < 0.05). The high expression of FGFBP1 was significantly associated with the degree of tumor differentiation (p = 0.012), age (p = 0.045), and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.032) of ESCC patients. The expression of FGF2, FGFR3, and FGFBP1-mRNA in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.001). Patients with high expression of FGF2, FGFBP1, and FGFR3 had poor prognosis. There was a weak positive correlation between FGF2 and FGFBP1, as well as FGFR.ConclusionThe FGF2-FGFR3 axis may promote the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The FGF2-FGFR3 axis may be a new direction of targeted therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. FGF2 and FGFR3 may be used as prognostic markers of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundA variety of nutritional evaluation parameters has been documented as prognostic indicators in some malignancies. However, the prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, as one of these nutritional indices, in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear and warrants investigation. Our study sought to elucidate the prognostic value of this nutritional index in ESCC patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy.MethodsThis retrospective study encompassed 314 patients diagnosed with ESCC who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between August 2016 and August 2021. CONUT scores were computed at two specific time points: prior to neoadjuvant therapy initiation and before surgery, utilizing serum albumin, total lymphocyte, and cholesterol levels of ESCC patients. Furthermore, the delta CONUT (ΔCONUT) score was derived by subtracting the preoperative CONUT score from the pretreatment CONUT score. The associations between CONUT scores and various survival outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression analysis.ResultsPatients with a high preoperative CONUT score demonstrated a higher postoperative complication rate [odds ratio (OR) =2.009, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.150-3.510, P=0.01] compared to those in the low CONUT group. Multivariate analysis revealed that a ΔCONUT score ≥0 served as an independent negative prognostic indicator for increased postoperative complications (OR =3.008, 95% CI: 1.509-5.999, P=0.002) and poorer overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) =2.388, 95% CI: 1.052-5.422, P=0.04] in ESCC patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy combined with esophagectomy.ConclusionsA high preoperative CONUT score and a ΔCONUT score ≥0 were indicative of a poor prognostic nutritional status in ESCC patients who had undergone neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy.
