Prognostic significance of matrix metalloproteinase 9 expression in osteosarcoma: A meta-analysis of 16 studies.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is significant in the progression of osteosarcoma (OS) via increasing tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Although previous reports indicate the prognostic value of MMP-9 in OS, there is still a great degree on inconsistency between studies. Here we report a comprehensive evaluation of the value of MMP-9 in metastasis of OS by conducting a meta-analysis of published studies. METHODS:The quantity of the studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale (NOS). Sixteen studies with a total of 816 patients with OS were examined and we calculated the pooled odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) (95% CI) to evaluate that the positive expression of MMP-9 predicts neoplasm metastasis and poor survival in OS. RESULTS:The results of Meta-analysis indicated that patients with positive expression of MMP-9 were significantly associated with neoplasm metastasis (OR?=?4.69, 95% CI: 3.05-7.21, P?<.001) and poor survival in OS with the pooled OR of 7.19 (95% CI 4.32-11.98, P?<.001) when compared to their counterparts with a negative expression of MMP-9. The results of sensitivity analysis showed that the pooled OR was stable. It doesn't significantly change when a single study was removed. CONCLUSIONS:The results of meta-analysis indicated that MMP-9 may be a prognostic biomarker guiding the clinical therapy for OS.

Project description:IntroductionMatrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are critical components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in patients with CRC.MethodsWe performed a meta-analysis of cohort studies with available data on the effect of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression on both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) by the risk ratios (RRs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Studies were subgrouped based on the different tissue types, including cancer tissue and normal tissue, and the subgroup effect of MMP expression in different tissues was analyzed through meta-regression. To ensure the quality and reduce the risk of bias, the Newcastle‒Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the included studies. A sensitivity analysis was randomly performed to assess the potential impact of each study on our results.ResultsEighteen trials were selected (Table 1) and included a total of 3944 patients. According to our primary meta-analysis, the expression of MMP-2 was significantly associated with a decrease in OS (RR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.34 to 2.29, P < 0.001) and DFS (RR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.25 to 5.49, P < 0.001), and the expression of MMP-9 was not significantly associated with a decrease in OS (RR = 1.48, 95% CI = 0.97 to 2.24, P = 0.069) or DFS (RR = 1.60, 95% CI = 0.87 to 2.94, P = 0.133). According to the subgroup analysis of MMPs in different tissues, high MMP-2 expression in cancer tissue (RR = 1.90, 95% CI = 1.29 to 2.79) and normal tissue (RR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.17 to 2.17) were significant indicators of poor OS. High MMP-2 expression in cancer tissue was significant indicator of poor DFS (RR = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.09 to 4.11). MMP-9 expression was also associated with poor OS (RR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.85 to 2.29), but the difference in OS between the high and low expression groups was not statistically significant.ConclusionsHigh MMP-2 expression, especially in cancer tissue, is significantly associated with both poor DFS and poor OS in patients with CRC. High MMP-9 expression tended to indicate a poor prognosis of CRC but the correlation was not significant.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma is the most prevalent malignant osseous sarcoma in children and adolescents, whose prognosis is still relatively poor nowadays. Recent studies have shown the critical function and potential clinical applications of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in osteosarcoma. Our review aimed to perform an updated meta-analysis to explore their clinicopathologic significance and prognostic value.MethodsThe structured literature was conducted via eight electronic databases and four gray literature sources until 20 Feb 2021 to identify eligible studies. The data was extracted directly from the articles or reconstructed based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool was used to assess study quality. The clinicopathologic significance of circRNAs was measured through odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs), while the prognostic value was evaluated through hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% CIs of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Sensitivity analyses were conducted. Subgroup analyses were performed according to study characteristics. An additional analysis was performed to investigate the relation between circ_0002052 and osteosarcoma.ResultsFifty-two studies were identified, in which 38 on clinicopathologic features and 36 on survival prognosis were included in quantitative analysis. The overall study quality was moderate with a median NOS score of 5.5 stars (range 3 to 8). For clinicopathologic features, dysregulated circRNAs were related to larger tumor size (OR 2.122, 95%CI 1.418-3.175), advanced clinical stage (OR 2.847, 95%CI 2.059-3.935), and present of metastasis (OR 2.630, 95%CI 1.583-4.371). For chemotherapy, dysregulated circRNAs suggest a better response (OR 0.443, 95%CI 0.231-0.849), but a higher probability of resistance (OR 9.343, 95%CI 5.352-16.309). For survival prognosis, dysregulated circRNAs were significantly correlated with poor OS (HR 2.437, 95%CI 2.224-2.670) and DFS (HR 2.125, 95%CI 1.621-2.786). The results did not show differences among subgroups. Higher circ_0002052 expression showed a relation with poor OS (HR 3.197, 95%CI 2.054-4.976).ConclusionsOur review demonstrated that abnormally expressed circRNAs have a relation with advanced clinicopathologic features and better response, but a higher probability of resistance and poor survival prognosis in osteosarcoma patients. However, more studies are encouraged to provide more robust evidence to translate circRNAs into clinical practice.Trial registrationPROSPERO ID: CRD42021235031.
