L1 cell adhesion molecule overexpression in hepatocellular carcinoma associates with advanced tumor progression and poor patient survival

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM), as a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, has recently been observed in a variety of human malignancies. However, no data of L1CAM are available for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of L1CAM in HCC and determine its correlation with tumor progression and prognosis. METHODS: One-hundred and thirty HCC patients who had undergone curative liver resection were selected and immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) were performed to analyze L1CAM expression in the respective tumors. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and Q-PCR consistently confirmed the overexpression of L1CAM in HCC tissues compared with their adjacent nonneoplastic tissues at both protein and gene level (both P <0.01). Additionally, the high expression of L1CAM was significantly associated with advanced tumor stage (P = 0.02) and advanced tumor grade (P = 0.03), respectively. Moreover, HCC patients with high L1CAM expression were significantly associated with lower 5-year overall survival (P <0.01) and lower 5-year disease-free survival (P <0.01), respectively. The Cox proportional hazards model further showed that L1CAM over-expression was an independent poor prognostic factor for both 5-year disease-free survival (P = 0.02) and 5-year overall survival (P = 0.008) in HCC. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest for the first time that L1CAM expression in HCC was significantly correlated with the advanced tumor progression and was an independent poor prognostic factor for both overall survival and disease-free survival in patients with HCC.Virtual slidesThe virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/1970024872761542.

摘要 目的：探究SIRT7基因琥珀酰化修饰对肝癌患者的生存、免疫浸润及预后的相关性分析。方法：采用生物信息分析法对SIRT7在肝癌组织中的表达情况及其对肝癌患者预后的影响进行分析；采用蛋白免疫印迹法（Western blot）检测其转染效果。结果：（1）生物信息分析结果显示：SIRT7在多种肿瘤（包括肝癌）组织中呈高表达（P<0.05）；SIRT7的表达与肿瘤的生存曲线相关（P<0.05）；肝癌患者的SIRT7相对表达量与其预后相关，高表达组肝癌患者的总生存情况（P=0.017）和无进展生存情况较低表达组缩短（P=0.004）；免疫浸润和肿瘤微环境分析结果显示，SIRT7表达水平与多数免疫细胞浸润水平、肿瘤微环境(ESTIMATES core)均有明显负相关。（2）Western blot显示，SIRT7在肝癌细胞中表达高于正常细胞。因此，SIRT7 可作为肝癌的潜在预后标志物。结论：SIRT7表达水平与肝癌(HCC)患者的预后、免疫细胞浸润性、肿瘤微环境免疫细胞和基质细胞浸润等相关。     

NGAL and NGALR overexpression in human hepatocellular carcinoma toward a molecular prognostic classification

Aim: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and its cell surface receptor, NGALR, have been implicated in tumorigenesis and tumor progression of various human malignant neoplasms. In particularly, it has been demonstrated that NGAL is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and closely associated with the proliferation and invasion of HCC cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of NGAL and NGALR in HCC. Methods: Expression of NGAL and NGALR was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissues from 138 patients who underwent curative resection of HCC. The association of NGAL or NGALR expression with the clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of NGAL and/or NGALR expression for HCC patients. Results: The expression levels of NGAL and NGALR were both up-regulated in HCC tissues, and to be associated with vascular invasion (both P=0.03), TNM stage (both P=0.004), and tumor recurrence (both P<0.001). A positive correlation between expression of the two markers was also observed (r=0.89; P<0.001). Additionally, survival analysis showed that high expression of NGAL or NGALR was significantly associated with poor prognosis for patients with HCC (both P=0.003). Patients with high expression of both NGAL and NGALR had a shorter overall survival (P<0.001) than those with low expression of both. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed both NGAL and NGALR were independent predictors of overall survival. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate for the first time that the up-regulations of NGAL and NGALR expression in HCC were both significantly correlated with unfavorable clinicopathologic features and independent poor prognostic factor for overall survival in patients. These findings suggest that NGAL and NGALR expression might be served as novel prognostic factors and potential therapeutic targets in HCC.     

Glypican-3, a novel prognostic marker of hepatocellular cancer, is related with postoperative metastasis and recurrence in hepatocellular cancer patients

Metastasis/recurrence has been the most fundamental characteristic of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and the ultimate cause of most HCC-related deaths. However, there are still a limited number of reliable tumor markers that can be used to predict the possibility of metastasis/recurrence in an HCC patient after operation. Recently, much evidence has shown that glypican-3 (GPC3) can be a useful tool to identify the early development of HCC, but little research has been done to test its usefulness as a prognostic marker related to post-operative metastasis/recurrence in HCC patients. In this study, the expression of GPC3 and its relationship with clinicopathological factors were determined by immunohistochemical analysis in 61 primary HCC patients. The potential prognostic value of GPC3 was investigated by comparing the survival time between HCC patients with high and low GPC3 expression. The results demonstrated that GPC3 expression was closely related with metastasis/recurrence in an HCC patient who can receive the operation. The risk of metastasis/recurrence after surgery in an HCC patient with high GPC3 expression was increased to 3.214 as compared to that of an HCC patient with low GPC3 expression. Survival analysis showed that HCC patients with high GPC3 expression had a significantly shorter overall survival time than HCC patients with low GPC3 expression (P = 0.003). Further, multivariate analysis showed that GPC3 expression was a significant, independent prognostic parameter (P = 0.030) for HCC patients. Overall, the study indicates that GPC3 might be a valuable marker closely related with prognosis and post-operative metastasis/recurrence in HCC patients.     

Identification of postoperative prognostic microRNA predictors in hepatocellular carcinoma

Comparison of microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in the noncancerous liver tissues adjacent to hepatocelluar carcinomas (HCCs) was a strategy to identify postoperative prognostic predictors in this study. Expression profiles of 270 miRNAs were determined in the paraneoplastic liver tissues of 12 HCC patients with known postoperative prognosis. A panel of candidate miRNA predictors was identified. The prognostic predictive value of these candidate miRNAs was then verified in 216 postoperative HCC patients. Univariate analysis identified 8 and 3 miRNA predictors for recurrence-free (RFS) and overall (OS) survivals, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed high expression levels of miR-155 (HR, 2.002 [1.324-3.027]; P?=?.001), miR-15a (HR, 0.478 [0.248-0.920]; P?=?.027), miR-432 (HR, 1.816 [1.203-2.740]; P?=?.015), miR-486-3p (HR, 0.543 [0.330-0.893]; P?=?.016), miR-15b (HR, 1.074 [1.002-1.152]; P?=?.043) and miR-30b (HR, 1.102 [1.025-1.185]; P?=?.009) were significantly associated with RFS. When clinicopathological predictors were included, multivariate analysis revealed that tumor number and miR-432, miR-486-3p, and miR-30b expression levels remained significant as independent predictors for RFS. Additionally, expression knockdown of miR-155 in J7 and Mahlavu hepatoma cells resulted in decreased cell growth and enhanced cell death in xenograft tumors, suggesting an oncogenic effect of miR-155. In conclusion, significant prognostic miRNA predictors were identified through examination of miRNA expression levels in paraneoplastic liver tissues. Functional analysis of a miRNA predictor, miR-155, suggested that the prognostic miRNA predictors identified under this strategy could serve as potential molecular targets for anticancer therapy.     

氨基酸转运载体SLC1A5在胃癌组织中的表达及其临床病理学意义

目的:研究氨基酸转运载体溶质载体家族1成员5(Solute Carrier Family 1 Member 5, SLC1A5)蛋白在胃癌组织中的表达情况,并探讨其与胃癌临床病理特征及预后的相关性。方法:收集进展期胃癌组织及对应癌旁组织90例,应用免疫组化技术检测SLC1A5在上述组织中的表达情况,并统计分析其表达与胃癌临床病理特征及预后的关系。同时通过基因数据库分析SLC1A5在胃癌组织和癌旁组织中表达情况及其对胃癌患者预后的影响。结果:与癌旁组织相比,胃癌组织中SLC1A5表达明显上调(P0.0001)。数据库研究也显示SLC1A5在胃癌组织中表达明显上调(GSE 65801,P=0.0046;GSE 63809,P0.0001;GSE 27342,P=0.0147)。胃癌组织中SLC1A5高表达与肿瘤大小(P0.05)、肿瘤浸润深度(P0.01)、淋巴结转移(P0.05)、TNM分期(P0.05)和Ki-67(P0.01)相关,而与年龄、性别、肿瘤位置及分化程度均无显著相关性(P0.05)。胃癌组织中SLC1A5表达强度与患者预后相关,表达越高,患者预后越差(总体生存率,P=0.0131;无复发生存率,P=0.0293)。数据库分析也显示SLC1A5高表达可明显缩短患者的总体生存期(GSE 14210,P=0.011;GSE 22377,P=0.0015)和无进展生存期(GSE 14210,P=0.0095;GSE 22377,P=0.0012)。结论:SLC1A5蛋白表达在胃癌组织中明显上调,且与肿瘤大小、肿瘤浸润深度、淋巴结转移及TNM分期有关。SLC1A5高表达与胃癌患者预后不良密切相关。     

长链非编码RNA PVT1在肝癌组织中的表达与临床意义

目的:探讨长链非编码RNA PVT1 (lncRNA-PVT1)在肝癌组织中的表达以及在肝癌诊治中的临床意义。方法:采用qRT-PCR法检测肝癌组织和癌旁肝组织中lncRNA-PVT1的表达情况,通过x2检验分析lncRNA-PVT1的表达水平与肝癌患者临床病理指标之间的相关性,采用Kaplan-Meier法绘制患者术后生存曲线,Log-rank检验比较生存率的差异,单因素和多因素分析评估影响肝癌患者预后的独立危险因素。结果:肝癌组织中lncRNA-PVT1的表达水平显著高于癌旁肝组织(P0.05)。肝癌组织lncRNA-PVT1的表达水平与其Edmondson分级、TNM分期、分化程度和是否发生血管转移具有显著相关性(P0.05),而与患者的年龄、性别、血AFP水平、肿瘤直径、肿瘤数目以及是否有肝炎病史无关(P0.05)。lncRNA-PVT1高表达组患者的术后生存率明显低于lncRNA-PVT1低表达组患者,高表达水平的lncRNA-PVT1、Edmondson分级、TNM分期、分化程度和是否发生血管转移均是影响肝癌患者预后的独立危险因素。结论:lncRNA-PVT1在肝癌组织中呈高表达,高表达水平的lncRNA-PVT1与肝癌患者的临床预后不良密切相关,有望成为今后肝癌治疗的新靶点。     

Association of PD-L1 and HIF-1α Coexpression with Poor Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between the expression of PD-L1 and HIF-1α in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue and further analyze the association with clinical parameters and the prognostic value of coexpression in HCC patients. METHODS: We assessed the expression of PD-L1 and HIF-1α by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissue from 90 HCC patients who underwent curative hepatectomy. The results were validated in an independent cohort of additional 90 HCC patients. RESULTS: PD-L1 and HIF-1α exhibited in tumor tissue high expression rates of 41.11% (37/90) and 43.33% (43/90), respectively, and their expressions were positively correlated (r = 0.563, P < .01). High expression of PD-L1 was significantly associated with low albumin levels (P < .05); high expression of HIF-1α was significantly correlated with high alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels and low albumin levels (P < .05); high expression of both PD-L1 and HIF-1α was also significantly associated with high AFP levels and low albumin levels (P < .05). High expression of PD-L1, HIF-1α, as well as both PD-L1 and HIF-1 α was respectively significantly associated with worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) (P < .05). Patients with co-overexpression of PD-L1 and HIF-1α had the worst prognosis compared with other groups. Additionally, multivariate Cox regression models suggested that high expression of PD-L1, HIF-1α, as well as both PD-L1 and HIF-1α was an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS (P < .05). Furthermore, the positive correlation and prognostic values of PD-L1 and HIF-1α were validated in an independent data set. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that HCC patients with co-overexpression of PD-L1 and HIF-1α in tumor tissue had a significantly higher risk of recurrence or metastasis and death compared with others. Therefore, more frequent follow-up is needed for patients with co-overexpression of PD-L1 and HIF-1α. At the same time, a combinational therapy with HIF-1α inhibitors in conjunction with PD-L1 blockade may be beneficial for HCC patients with co-overexpression in the future.     

Expression of Hypoxic Marker Carbonic Anhydrase IX Predicts Poor Prognosis in Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX), a hypoxia marker, correlates with tumor progression in a variety of human cancers. However, the role of CA-IX in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) remains largely unknown. We examined the expression of 277 unifocal, resectable, primary HCC tumors using immunohistochemistry. The CA-IX protein was expressed in 110 of the 227 (48.5%) HCC tumors. The expression of CA-IX correlated with younger age (P = 0.0446), female sex (P = 0.0049), high serum α-fetoprotein levels (P<1x10^-6), larger tumor size (P = 0.0031), high tumor grade P<1x10^-6) and high tumor stage (P = 1.5x10^-6). Patients with HCC tumors that expressed CA-IX were more likely to have lower 5-year disease-free survival (DFS; P = 0.0001) and 5-year overall survival (OS; P<1x10^-6). The multivariate analysis indicated that CA-IX expression was an independent predictor for high tumor stage (P = 0.0047) and DFS (P = 0.0456), and a borderline predictor for OS (P = 0.0762). Furthermore, CA-IX expression predicted poor DFS and OS in patients with high tumor stage (P = 0.0004 and P<1x10^-6, respectively). Interestingly, CA-IX expression might contribute to the worse prognosis of female patients with advanced HCCs. Our study indicates the expression of the CA-IX protein is a crucial predictor of poor prognosis in resectable HCC, and it is also an unfavorable prognostic predictor in HCC patients with high tumor stage.     

miR-214-5p targets KLF5 and suppresses proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous conserved RNAs regulating genes expression through base pairing with the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of target messenger RNAs. MiR-214-5p is a newly identified miRNA with its biological role largely unknown. In this study, we explored miR-214-5p expression status in 78 paired tumor and nontumor tissues obtained from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by RT-qPCR. The effects of miR-214-5p expression on HCC cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and cell migration were measured by CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and wound-healing assay. A dual-luciferase activity assay was performed to identify whether KLF5 was a target of miR-214-5p. Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test were used to investigate the effects of miR-214-5p and KLF5 on overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with HCC. We found miR-214-5p expression was sharply reduced in HCC tissues and cell lines compared with the normal tissues and cell lines. Functional assay revealed that miR-214-5p overexpression could downregulate cell proliferation, cell migration, and arrested cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. Further, we validated Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) as a direct target of miR-214-5p, and was upregulated in HCC and inversely correlated with the expression of miR-214-5p. Moreover, we found the low expression of miR-214-5p and high expression of KLF5 were correlated with tumor size, tumor stage, and poorer 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with HCC. In conclusion, our results suggested miR-214-5p functions as a tumor suppressor through targeting KLF5 in HCC. Also, miR-214-5p and KLF5 were identified as potential prognostic markers and might be therapeutic targets in HCC.     

Downregulation of polo-like kinase 4 in hepatocellular carcinoma associates with poor prognosis

Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4), belonging to serine/threonine kinase family, is critical for centriole replication and cell cycle progression. PLK4 has been proposed as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its expression and significance in HCC have not been well studied. In the present study, we found that PLK4 was markedly downregulated in both HCC cell lines and fresh cancer tissues, using quantitative real-time-PCR and western blot. Immunohistochemistry data also revealed that decreased expression of PLK4 was present in 72.4% (178/246) of HCC tissues, compared with the corresponding adjacent nontumorous tissues. Furthermore, PLK4 expression significantly correlated with clinicopathological parameters, including clinical stage (P=0.034), serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) (P=0.019) and tumor size (P=0.032). Moreover, HCC patients with low PLK4 expression survived shorter than those with high PLK4 expression, as indicated by overall survival (P=0.002) and disease-free survival (P=0.012) assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. In addition, multivariate analysis suggested PLK4 as an independent predictor of overall survival (HR, 0.556; 95%CI, 0.376-0.822; P=0.003) and disease-free survival (HR, 0.547; 95%CI, 0.382-0.783; P=0.001). Collectively, our study demonstrated that PLK4 was remarkably downregulated in HCC and could be served as a potential prognostic marker for patients with this deadly disease.     

Expression of LGR8 and related biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma: correlation with clinicopathological parameters

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between expression of LGR8, VEGF, MMP-2, MMP-9, fascin-1 and cortactin with clinicopathological parameters in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The six biomarkers were investigated immunohistochemically using tissue microarrays of 93 HCC specimens. The tumor cells showed significant expression of LGR8, VEGF, MMP-9, fascin-1 and cortactin, but not of MMP-2. In addition, higher immunostaining scores for LGR8 in HCC showed negative correlation with T and AJCC clinical stages and upregulation of MMP-9, but no correlation with poorer survival rate; cortactin expression is correlated with poorer tumor differentiation in HCC. Thus, our data suggest that higher expression of LGR8 may facilitate tumor invasiveness in the early clinical stage of hepatocellular carcinoma, and synergic effects of cortactin also play a crucial role in the intrahepatic metastasis. Although tumor biological evidence implicates the relaxin-like hormone family as endocrine mediators of critical cellular action in cancer, characterization of target molecules and signaling pathways specific for LGR8 in defined tumor entities and crosstalk of the relaxin receptors with other receptor systems relevant to carcinogenesis will be of significant clinical relevance and may contribute to novel therapeutic strategies against hepatocellular carcinoma.

A Seven-microRNA Expression Signature Predicts Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth common cancer. The differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been associated with the prognosis of various cancers. However, limited information is available regarding genome-wide miRNA expression profiles in HCC to generate a tumor-specific miRNA signature of prognostic values. In this study, the miRNA profiles in 327 HCC patients, including 327 tumor and 43 adjacent non-tumor tissues, from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) were analyzed. The associations of the differentially expressed miRNAs with patient survival and other clinical characteristics were examined with t-test and Cox proportional regression model. Finally, a tumor-specific miRNA signature was generated and examined with Kaplan–Meier survival, univariate\multivariate Cox regression analyses and KEGG pathway analysis. Results showed that a total of 207 miRNAs were found differentially expressed between tumor and adjacent non-tumor HCC tissues. 78 of them were also discriminatively expressed with gender, race, tumor grade and AJCC tumor stage. Seven miRNAs were significantly associated with survival (P value <0.001). Among the seven significant miRNAs, six (hsa-mir-326, hsa-mir-3677, hsa-mir-511-1, hsa-mir-511-2, hsa-mir-9-1, and hsa-mir-9-2) were negatively associated with overall survival (OS), while the remaining one (hsa-mir-30d) was positively correlated. A tumor-specific 7-miRNAs signature was generated and validated as an independent prognostic predictor. Collectively, we have identified and validated an independent prognostic model based on the expression of seven miRNAs, which can be used to assess patients’ survival. Additional work is needed to translate our model into clinical practice.
