CERNA2: A predictor for clinical progression and poor prognosis in cervical carcinoma

Competing long noncoding RNA 2 (lncRNA 2) for microRNA let-7b (CERNA2) has emerged as an important regulator of tumorigenesis and cancer progression but the clinical value and regulatory function of CERNA2 is yet to be investigated in cervical carcinoma. In our study, we found the CERNA2 expression was obviously increased in cervical carcinoma tissues compared with adjacent normal cervical tissues. In addition, we observed that metastatic lymph nodes exhibited high levels of CERNA2 expression in contrast to primary cervical carcinoma tissues. Furthermore, high CERNA2 expression was associated with advanced clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis poor histological grade, and short overall survival in cervical carcinoma patients. Moreover, high CERNA2 expression acted as an independent unfavorable predictor for overall survival in cervical carcinoma patients. The cell migration and invasion assays in vitro suggested that knockdown of CERNA2 remarkably inhibited cell migration and invasion in cervical carcinoma. In conclusion, CERNA2 functions as an oncogenic lncRNA and may be as a potential therapeutic target in cervical carcinoma.

Applicability of Preoperative Nuclear Morphometry to Evaluating Risk for Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background

We previously reported the utility of preoperative nuclear morphometry for evaluating risk for cervical lymph node metastases in tongue squamous cell carcinoma. The risk for lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma, however, is known to differ depending on the anatomical site of the primary tumor, such as the tongue, gingiva, mouth floor, and buccal mucosa. In this study, we evaluated the applicability of this morphometric technique to evaluating the risk for cervical lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods

A digital image system was used to measure the mean nuclear area, mean nuclear perimeter, nuclear circular rate, ratio of nuclear length to width (aspect ratio), and nuclear area coefficient of variation (NACV). Relationships between these parameters and nodal status were evaluated by t-test and logistic regression analysis.

Results

Eighty-eight cases of squamous cell carcinoma (52 of the tongue, 25 of the gingiva, 4 of the buccal mucosa, and 7 of the mouth floor) were included: 46 with positive node classification and 42 with negative node classification. Nuclear area and perimeter were significantly larger in node-positive cases than in node-negative cases; however, there were no significant differences in circular rate, aspect ratio, or NACV. We derived two risk models based on the results of multivariate analysis: Model 1, which identified age and mean nuclear area and Model 2, which identified age and mean nuclear perimeter. It should be noted that primary tumor site was not associated the pN-positive status. There were no significant differences in pathological nodal status by aspect ratio, NACV, or primary tumor site.

Conclusion

Our method of preoperative nuclear morphometry may contribute valuable information to evaluations of the risk for lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.     

Matrix Metalloproteinase-14 Expression and Its Prognostic Value in Cervical Carcinoma

The objective of the study was to evaluate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) in cervical carcinoma and correlate its expression with clinicopathological parameters, recurrence, and survival of the patients. The expressions of MMP-14 in normal cervical mucosa and cervical carcinoma tissue were detected with immunohistochemistry. Survival analysis by the Kaplan–Meier method was performed to assess prognostic significance. The positive expression rate of MMP-14 in cervical carcinoma tissue was 81.6 %(111/136), and there was significant difference on their positive expression rates between in cervical carcinoma tissue and in normal cervical mucosa(22.4 %)(13/58)(P < 0.05);The positive expression rates of MMP-14 in patients with poor histologic differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and recurrence group were heightened. Using Kaplan–Meier analysis, a comparison of survival curves of low versus high expressions of MMP-14 revealed a highly significant difference in human cervical carcinoma tissue (P < 0.05), which suggests that overexpression of MMP-14 is associated with a worse prognosis. The MMP-14 which promotes angiogenes is associated with lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, and poor prognosis of cervical carcinoma. The current study shows that MMP-14 may be an independent prognostic factor for cervical carcinoma patients.

Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) 10 Suppresses Cervical Cancer Metastasis through Inhibition of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and 9 Expression

Aberrant expression of histone deacetylases (HDACs) is associated with carcinogenesis. Some HDAC inhibitors are widely considered as promising anticancer therapeutics. A major obstacle for development of HDAC inhibitors as highly safe and effective anticancer therapeutics is that our current knowledge on the contributions of different HDACs in various cancer types remains scant. Here we report that the expression level of HDAC10 was significantly lower in patients exhibiting lymph node metastasis compared with that in patients lacking lymph node metastasis in human cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Forced expression of HDAC10 in cervical cancer cells significantly inhibited cell motility and invasiveness in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, HDAC10 suppresses expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and 9 genes, which are known to be critical for cancer cell invasion and metastasis. At the molecular level, HDAC10 binds to MMP2 and -9 promoter regions, reduces the histone acetylation level, and inhibits the binding of RNA polymerase II to these regions. Furthermore, an HDAC10 mutant lacking histone deacetylase activity failed to mimic the functions of full-length protein. These results identify a critical role of HDAC10 in suppression of cervical cancer metastasis, underscoring the importance of developing isoform-specific HDAC inhibitors for treatment of certain cancer types such as cervical squamous cell carcinoma.     

Altered expression of sialyl-Tn,Lewis antigens and carcinoembryonic antigen between primary and metastatic lesions of uterine cervical cancers

Summary Immunohistochemical examination was performed of serial sections of 24 normal human adult cervical tissues and 53 human cervical carcinomas including 36 cases with lymph node metastasis. For this investigation, monoclonal antibodies directed to Lewis-X, Lewis-Y, sialyl-dimeric Lewis-X (SDLX), sialyl-Tn (STn) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were used. STn and CEA antigens were expressed very weakly in the normal cervical epithelium but strongly in the cancer cells, indicating the antigens to be oncogenic antigens of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. No significant difference in immunoreactivity was observed between primary and metastatic lesions of carcinoma or between primary lesions with and without metastasis. However, the expression patterns of STn and Lewis-Y antigens were quite different between primary lesions and metastatic lesions. In primary lesions the cancer cell nests tended to be stained centrally, but in metastatic lesions the cancer cell nests tended to be stained peripherally. This finding may reflect an important role of these carbohydrate chains in the process of metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma to regional lymph nodes.

MiR-20a Promotes Cervical Cancer Proliferation and Metastasis In Vitro and In Vivo

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that are critical regulators of various diseases. MicroRNA-20a (miR-20a) has previously significantly altered in a range of cancers. In this study, we detected the relationship between miR-20a and the development of cervical cancer by qRT-PCR, we found that the expression level of miR-20a was significantly higher in cervical cancer patients than in normal controls, the aberrant expression of miR-20a was correlated with lymph node metastasis, histological grade and tumor diameter. Then we successfully established the stable anti-miR-20a cervical cancer cell lines by lentivirus. Inhibited miR-20a prevented tumor progression by modulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. TIMP2 and ATG7 were proved to be direct targets of miR-20a, using luciferase assay and western blot. These results indicate that miR-20a suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cell through targeting ATG7 and TIMP2. Our results support the involvement of miR-20a in cervical tumorigenesis, especially lymph node metastasis. We propose that miRNAs might be used as therapeutic agent for cervical cancer.

Polymorphism in the Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Gene Promoter is Associated with Cervical Neoplasm Risk in Mexican Women

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an enzyme with proteolytic activity on matrix proteins, and previous studies have revealed a strong association between the MMP-2 −1306C→T polymorphism and the risk of several types of cancer. Our study looked at whether this polymorphism contributed to the development of cervical neoplasia by analyzing 54 patients with invasive squamous cell cervical cancer, 100 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and 126 control subjects. The MMP-2 CC genotype was more frequent in the cancer patients when compared with the control group (OR 2.57; 95% CI 1.15–5.86). The association of cervical cancer with the CC genotype was more pronounced in women who had first coitus at an early age (OR 3.96; 95% CI 1.46–11.06). The CC genotype was associated with intraepithelial neoplasia only in women with first coitus at 19 years old or younger. The data suggest that the MMP-2 −1306C→T polymorphism contributes to the development of squamous cell cervical cancer in the population studied, especially in women who had first coitus at an early age.
