Expression of Stanniocalcin-1 and Stanniocalcin-2 in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Correlations with Clinical and Pathological Parameters

Background

Stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) and stanniocalcin-2 (STC2) are secreted glycoprotein hormones involved in various types of human malignancies. The roles of STC1 and STC2 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remain unknown. We investigated correlations between STC1 and STC2 expression and clinicopathological or prognostic factors in LSCC.

Methods

Pre-surgical peripheral blood samples were collected between 2012 and 2013 from 62 patients with LSCC. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis was performed to examine mRNA levels of STC1 and STC2. Immunohistochemistry was performed to retrospectively analyze 90 paraffin-embedded LSCC tissue samples, which were obtained from patients who received surgery between 2006 and 2009. These patients did not have histories of treatment or malignancies. Univariate analysis of patient survival was performed by the Kaplan–Meier method. Multivariate analyses were performed with the Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

The relative mRNA levels of STC1 and STC2 in peripheral blood were significantly greater in LSCC patients than those of healthy volunteers (both P<0.05). STC2 protein expression in tumor tissues was associated with invasion into the thyroid cartilage, T-Stage, lymphatic metastasis, clinical stage, and pathological differentiation (all P<0.05). In addition, STC2 protein expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in patients with LSCC (P = 0.025). In contrast, STC1 expression only correlated with clinical stage (P = 0.026) and was not an independent or significant prognostic factor.

Conclusions

Circulating STC1 and STC2 mRNA are potentially useful blood markers for LSCC. Our results strongly suggest that the STC2 protein, but not STC1, may be a valuable biomarker for LSCC malignancies and a prognostic marker for poor outcome following surgery. Future studies should examine STC2 as a novel molecular target for the treatment of LSCC.

Isolation and functional expression of the bop gene from Halobiforma lacisalsi

A novel bop gene was described from Halobiforma lacisalsi strain AJ5^T, an extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from Ayakekum Lake, China. Following six rounds of PCR amplification based on the conserved fragment of the bop gene, the complete sequence of the bop gene, including the 5′ and 3′ flanking regions of the conserved fragment, was obtained by the ligation-mediated PCR amplification (LPA) approach. The data presented provide us with further insight into the distribution of bop-like genes in the family Halobacteriaceae. This is the first example of a bop-like gene in halophiles found in the high-pH environment. Alignment and hydropathy analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence identified the conserved functional sites as well as some variations compared with other bacterio-opsins. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed the position of the bacterio-opsin of strain AJ5, which is closest to that of Haloterrigena sp. arg-4 with 85% identity. In the presence of all-trans retinal, recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing the gene turned dark purple. The purple membrane from the recombinant E. coli showed maximal absorption at 540 nm.
