Apoptosis is one of the critical biological factors that correlate with the biological behavior of malignant tumors including cancer progression and clinical outcome. The present study was performed to clarify the clinical implications of BAG-1, a bcl-2 binding protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Seventy-one cases with ESCC were investigated. Immunohistochemical study of BAG-1 was performed on resected specimens. The expression pattern of BAG-1 in nuclei and/or cytoplasm was analyzed and correlated with TNM classification, vessel invasion, survival period after surgery. BAG-1 expression in the nuclei was related to the depth of tumor invasion (P = 0.0381) but not to any other clinicopathologic parameters. The cytoplasmic staining pattern of BAG-1 exhibited no correlation with clinicopathologic parameters. Univariate analysis (P < 0.05), but not multivariate analysis, revealed significantly poor prognosis for ESCC cases exhibiting positive nucleic staining for BAG-1. Our data suggests that BAG-1 expression in the nuclei of ESCC plays an important role in tumor development and may be useful for predicting the prognosis after surgery. 相似文献

Platelet-derived growth factor A (PDGFA), the most known member of PDGF family, plays a crucial role in occurrence and progression of different tumors. However, PDGFA expression and its clinical significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are not clear. The present study aimed to assess the expression and prognostic value of PDGFA in ESCC.The Gene Expression Omnibus databases (, GSE53625, and GSE23400) and fresh clinical samples were employed for detecting PDGFA messenger RNA expression in ESCC. The associations of PDGFA expression with clinicopathological characteristics were evaluated by chi-square test. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression model were performed to determine the prognostic value of PDGFA in ESCC patients. PDGFA-related signaling pathways were defined by gene set enrichment analysis based on Gene Expression Omnibus databases.The PDGFA messenger RNA expression was upregulated in ESCC tissues compared with paired adjacent noncancerous tissues (P < .05) and was positively correlated with T stage (P < .05). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis suggested that ESCC patients with high PDGFA expression were associated with poorer overall survival compared to those with low PDGFA expression (P < .05), especially in advanced T stage (P < .05). Cox analyses showed that high expression of PDGFA was an independent predictor for poor prognosis in ESCC patients. Gene set enrichment analysis identified 3 signaling pathways (extracellular matrix receptor interaction, focal adhesion, and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis chondroitin sulfate) that were enriched in PDGFA high expression phenotype (all P < .01).PDGFA may serve as an oncogene in ESCC and represent an independent molecular biomarker for prognosis of ESCC patients.

Cyclin D1, E2F1 expression levels are associated with characteristics and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
S. Mega M. Miyamoto Y. Ebihara R. Takahashi R. Hase L. Li T. Shichinohe Y. Kawarada H. Uehara H. Kaneko H. Hashimoto Y. Murakami T. Itoh T. Morikawa S. Kondo 《Diseases of the esophagus》2005,18(2):109-113
SUMMARY. We performed a multi-institutional analysis of E2F1 and cyclin D1 expression in cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Cyclin D1 and E2F1 are involved in the transition of cell cycle phases and associated with tumor progression. However, no previous studies have concurrently analyzed combined E2F1 and cyclin D1 expression. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship of E2F1 and cyclin D1 in ESCC. We studied 122 patients with primary ESCC who underwent surgical tumor resection. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed for E2F1 and cyclin D1. A statistical analysis of immunohistochemistry results, clinicopathological features, and prognosis was performed. E2F1/cyclin D1 (-/-) tumors were present in 31 patients (25.4%) and correlated with reduced tumor progression. In these patients, pT (P=0.0001), pN (P<0.0001), p-Stage (P=0.0019), and survival rates were better than in patients who were positive for either E2F1 or cyclin D1 (P=0.0232). The expression of E2F1 and cyclin D1 is an indicator of tumor progression and prognosis in patients with ESCC. Combined analysis of E2F1 and cyclin D1 expression helps to determine the characteristics and prognosis of ESCC. 相似文献

Tumor recurrence and metastasis is the leading cause of death in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Cancer stem cell (CSC) may be responsible for tumor growth and maintenance of aggressive behavior. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) has been proposed as one of the possible candidates for a CSC marker. The expression of ALDH1 may be correlated with the clinicopathologic factor and clinical outcome of patients with ESCC. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of ALDH1 protein in human ESCC tissues, and evaluated the clinical implication of ALDH1 expression for these patients. All 79 patients who underwent esophagectomy for ESCC between January 2005 and June 2006 were enrolled in this study. The expression of ALDH1 in ESCC and adjacent noncancerous tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. ALDH1 was mainly expressed in ESCC cell nucleus. For the 79 ESCC patients, increased nuclear accumulation of ALDH1 was found in 12 (15.2%) specimens. ALDH1 expression was correlated with poor histological differentiation (P= 0.003), lymph node metastasis (P= 0.011), and late pathologic TNM classification (pTNM) staging (P= 0.003). Patients in ALDH1 positive group had a significantly poor 5-year overall survival than those in the negative group (8.3% vs. 52.2%, P= 0.025). We have demonstrated for the first time that the CSC marker, ALDH1, is expressed in human ESCC. The expression of ALDH1 protein in nucleus of the ESCC is significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and poor survival. Our results highly indicate the involvement of ALDH1 in the aggressive behavior of ESCC. 相似文献

To explore the role of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and the potential of DNMT1‐targeted small interfering RNA as ESCC therapy, we examined expression changes of DNMT1 in ESCC and investigated the effect of DNMT1 knockdown by RNA interference in a human ESCC cell line, KYSE30. DNMT1 messenger RNA was over‐expressed in seven out of 12 ESCC samples, and the percentage of cells expressing DNMT1 was significantly higher in ESCC tissues compared with paired non‐cancerous tissues. DNMT1 protein levels correlated with lymph node metastasis, but exhibited no correlation with sex, age, tumor site, or tumor differentiation. Knockdown of DNMT1 in KYSE30 cells using RNA interference resulted in a reduction of promoter methylation and re‐expression of methyl‐guanine methyl‐transferase and retinoic acid receptors beta, inhibition of cell proliferation/viability and induction of cell apoptosis. These results indicate that DNMT1 over‐expression is involved in ESCC and correlated with lymph node metastasis. Knockdown of DNMT1 led to promoter demethylation and re‐expression of several tumor suppressor genes thereby inhibiting cell proliferation/viability and inducing cell apoptosis. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical analysis of nuclear survivin expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
S. Mega M. Miyamoto L. Li M. Kadoya R. Takahashi R. Hase H. Kaneko T. Shichinohe Y. Kawarada T. Itoh T. Morikawa S. Kondo 《Diseases of the esophagus》2006,19(5):355-359
Despite advances in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma, the prognosis for this disease remains poor. Therefore, it is important to obtain a better understanding of the molecular basis of esophageal carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to clarify the roles of survivin in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). One hundred 22 ESCC surgical specimens resected from 1989 to 1999 were examined. Survivin expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Tumor cells were considered survivin-positive if the immunoreactivity was confined to the nucleus, and a scoring method was applied. Survivin-positive immunostaining was detected in 68 patients (56%). There was a significant association between survivin expression and pN (P = 0.0472). Moreover, the overall survival rate was worse in patients with survivin-positive tumors than in patients with survivin-negative tumors (P = 0.0189). The overexpression of survivin was associated with the overall survival rate and poor prognosis in patients with ESCC. Survivin may be targeted during cancer therapy because of its selective expression in malignant tissue. 相似文献

Nonmuscle myosin IIA (myosin IIA) is a force-producing protein involved in the process of cell migration. Its expression has been considered as a bad prognostic indicator in stage I lung adenocarcinoma. However, the expression and clinical significance of myosin IIA in esophageal cancer has not been explored. In this study, we investigate the expression level of myosin IIA in 50 esophageal squamous cancer and 30 adjacent normal esophageal tissues by immunohistochemical staining and correlated its expression with clinicopathological features. Myosin IIA was expressed in all esophageal squamous cancer tissues (100%) and 8 of 30 adjacent normal tissues (26.7%, P = 0.000). In cancer tissues, elevated myosin IIA expression level was significantly correlated with increasing metastatic lymph nodes, poorer cancer differentiation, and advanced tumor stage. Further univariate analysis suggested that strong myosin IIA expression was associated with a significantly shorter overall survival (P = 0.021). In addition, MYH9 SiRNA was transfected into esophageal squamous cancer cell line (KYSE-510) to study the role of myosin IIA in cell migration. SiRNA-mediated depletion of myosin IIA in KYSE-510 cells significantly increased cell-matrix adhesion and attenuated cell migration ability (P = 0.000). In conclusion, these findings indicate that overexpression of myosin IIA may contribute to the progression and poor prognosis of esophageal squamous cancer, and this effect may be associated with increased cancer cell migration. 相似文献

It is strongly suspected that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) plays a role in the genesis of nasopharyngeal and gastric carcinoma. The aim of this study was to search for such a connection between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and EBV. We investigated 104 surgically resected esophageal cancers using in situ hybridization (ISH) for EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). We found no EBER-positive cancer cells in any tests, although there were five samples in which EBER-positive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were found. We conclude from this study that EBV is not associated with ESCC. 相似文献

Background and Aim: To perform endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for T1 esophageal cancer, it is essential to estimate the lymph node status exactly. In order to evaluate the feasibility of EMR for esophageal cancers, we evaluated the clinicopathological features of T1 esophageal squamous carcinomas with an emphasis on the risk factors and distribution patterns of lymph node metastasis. Methods: From 1994 to 2006, a total of 200 patients with T1 esophageal carcinoma were treated surgically in our institution. Among them, clinicopathological features were evaluated for 197 consecutive patients with T1 squamous cell carcinoma. Results: The frequency of lymph node involvement was 6.25% (4/64) in mucosal cancers and 29.3% (39/133) in submucosal cancers (P < 0.001). In patients with M1 (n = 32) and M2 (n = 14) cancers, no lymph node metastasis was found. In multivariate analysis, size larger than 20 mm, endoscopically non‐flat type, and endo‐lymphatic invasion were significant independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis. The differentiation of tumor cell was not a risk factor for lymph node metastasis. Conclusions: We suggest that EMR may be attempted for flat superficial squamous esophageal cancers smaller than 20 mm. After EMR, careful histological examination is mandatory. 相似文献

The prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is poor. It is urgent to improve this situation. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐targeted therapy possesses a promising clinical efficacy. Mutations of EGFR and V‐Ki‐ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) have been identified in esophageal carcinoma, but corresponding Chinese data are limited. So we investigated the mutation status of EGFR and KRAS in Chinese patients with ESCC, and explored their correlations with clinicopathological features. Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded surgically resected tumor samples were obtained from 50 randomly selected Chinese patients with ESCC. EGFR mutations in exons 18–21 were detected by Scorpions amplification refractory mutation system technology. KRAS mutations in codons 12, 13 were detected by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products. The correlations between clinicopathological features and the mutation status of EGFR and KRAS were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. In the present study, EGFR mutations were found in 7 (14%) out of 50 patients, including G719X missense mutation (n= 1), in‐frame deletion (n= 2), and L858R missense mutation (n= 5). Six (12%) out of 50 patients had KRAS mutations in codon 12. Concurrent EGFR and KRAS mutations were detected in one sample. The presences of EGFR and KRAS mutations were not associated with gender, age, smoking history, cell differentiation, or cancer stage. In conclusion, the incidence of EGFR mutations in Chinese patients with ESCC was higher than that of previous reports, and the incidence of KRAS mutations was not low. EGFR and KRAS mutations were mainly located in exons 19 and 21 and codon 12, respectively. Unlike in NSCLC, concurrent EGFR and KRAS mutations existed. 相似文献

Background
High expression of Sirtuin type 1 (SIRT1) exists in some cancer cells. However, it is still unclear whether SIRT1 affects the sensitivity of esophageal cancer cells to cisplatin. This study was designed to explore the relationship between SIRT1 expression and resistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells to cisplatin and reveal the underlying mechanism.Methods
The tissue samples of 68 ESCC patients were collected from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, China. All the patients had undergone cisplatin based combination chemotherapy. The expression of SIRT1and Noxa in tissue samples were analyzed by quantitative real-time reverse PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. Human ESCC cell line (ECa9706 cells) was cultured and a cisplatin-resistant subline (ECa9706-CisR cells) was established by continuous exposure to cisplatin at different concentrations. The expression of SIRT1 and Noxa in both cell lines was analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. siRNA technology was utilized to down-regulate the SIRT1 expression in ECa9706-CisR cells. The influence of SIRT1 silence on sensitivity of ECa9706-CisR cells to cisplatin was confirmed using CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. Furthermore, the level change of Noxa after SIRT1 silence in ECa9706-CisR cells was determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot.Result
SIRT1 and Noxa expression in chemo-resistant patients was significantly increased and decreased respectively, compared with chemo-sensitive patients. SIRT1 expression in ECa9706-CisR cells was significantly increased with a lower Noxa level, compared with normal ECa9706 cells. Cisplatin 5 µM could cause proliferation inhibition, G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in ECa9706-CisR cells and these effects could be enhanced dramatically by SIRT1 silencing. Moreover, Noxa expression was increased after treated with SIRT1 siRNA.Conclusions
Over-expression of SIRT1 may cause resistance of ESCC cells to cisplatin through the mechanism involved with Noxa expression. 相似文献20.

The aim of this study was to investigate human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) prevalence in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Xinjiang Kazakh patients and its role in ESCC carcinogenesis. One hundred and fifty cases of ESCC and 150 cases of corresponding normal esophageal mucosa (CNGM) samples were collected from north Xinjiang where the Kazakh ethnic group has lived since ancient times. HPV16 infection in ESCC and CNGM was detected by genotype‐specific polymerase chain reaction. HPV16 DNA was detected in 55 of 150 ESCC samples (36.7%) and 24 of 150 corresponding normal esophageal mucosa samples (16%) with significant differences (P < 0.001, odds ratio = 3.039, 95% confidence interval: 1.756–5.260). No statistically significant correlations were found between HPV16 infection and the age or gender of patients, tumor site, tumor cell differentiation, or lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). HPV16 infection is common in cases of ESCC in the Kazakh ethnic group in Xinjiang and may be involved in ESCC carcinogenesis. 相似文献
