          Abstract

          AIM

          To evaluate the clinical and prognostic significance of preoperative and postoperative cytokeratin 19 (CK19) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA levels in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cardia cancer (GCC).

          METHODS

          We detected the preoperative and postoperative mRNA levels of CK19 and CEA in peripheral blood of 129 GCC patients by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and evaluated their clinical and prognostic significance by univariate Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis. A new prognostic model which stratified patients into three different risk groups was established based on the independent prognostic factors.

          RESULTS

          Elevated preoperative and postoperative CK19 and CEA mRNA levels in peripheral blood of GCC patients were associated with lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size, histological grade, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, preoperative CK19 mRNA, and preoperative and postoperative CEA mRNA levels were correlated with the prognosis of GCC patients. The multivariate analysis showed that lymph node status ( P = 0.018), preoperative CK19 ( P = 0.035) and CEA ( P = 0.011) mRNA levels were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). The 5-year OS rates for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 48.3%, 22.6%, and 4.6%, respectively ( P < 0.001).

          CONCLUSION

          Elevated preoperative CK19 and CEA mRNA levels may be regarded as promising biomarkers for predicting lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis in patients with GCC. This new prognostic model may help us identify the subpopulations of GCC patients with the highest risk.

          Molecular-pathological prognostic factors of gastric cancer: a review.

          Invasion and metastasis are critical determinants of cancer morbidity. Genes and molecules participating in these steps must be regarded as potential prognostic factors. Growth factors and their receptors, cell-cycle regulators, cell-adhesion molecules and matrix-degrading enzymes are those to be used as prognostic factors, including epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGF receptor, K-sam, HER-2, interleukin (IL)-8, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), cyclin E, p27, E-cadherin, CD44v6, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). Alterations in epigenetics, such as aberrant DNA methylation and histone modification that are, in part, associated with the tumor progression of gastric cancer, can be candidate prognostic factors. The number of methylated genes may serve as a marker of tumor progression. Genetic polymorphism not only affects cancer susceptibility but also influences malignant phenotype; examples include single-nucleotide polymorphism in the HER-2 and MMP-9 genes. Comprehensive gene expression analyses are useful to search for novel genes related to invasion and metastasis and potential prognostic factors. Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) has identified several these genes, such as CDH17, APOE, FUS, COL1A1, COL1A2, GW112, and MIA. Overexpression of MIA is found to be associated with poor prognosis. Microarray analysis has great potential for identifying the characteristics of individual cancers, from the view point of gene expression profiles. A combination of these examinations can not only foretell a patient's prognosis but can also give information directly connected with personalized cancer medicine and prevention.

            The Prognostic Significance of Pretreatment Serum CEA Levels in Gastric Cancer: A Meta-Analysis Including 14651 Patients

            Background Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is commonly used as a serum tumor marker in clinical practice; however, its prognostic value for gastric cancer patients remains uncertain. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the prognostic value of CEA and investigate CEA as a tumor marker. Methods PubMed, EMBASE and other databases were searched for potentially eligible studies. Forty-one studies reporting the prognostic effect of pretreatment serum CEA expression in gastric cancer patients were selected. Data on 14651 eligible patients were retrieved for the meta-analysis. Based on the data extracted from the available literature, the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for an adverse prognosis were estimated for gastric cancer patients with elevated pretreatment serum levels of CEA (CEA+) relative to patients with normal pretreatment CEA levels (CEA-). Results The CEA+ patients had a significantly poorer prognosis than the CEA- patients in terms of overall survival (OS: HR 1.716, 95% CI 1.594 - 1.848, P 0.05). In the pooled analyses of multivariate-adjusted HRs, the results suggested that pretreatment serum CEA may be an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer (OS: HR 1.681, 95% CI 1.425 - 1.982; DSS: HR 1.900, 95% CI 1.441 - 2.505; DFS: HR 2.579, 95% CI 1.935 - 3.436). Conclusion/Significance The meta-analysis based on the available literature supported the association of elevated pretreatment serum CEA levels with a poor prognosis for gastric cancer and a nearly doubled risk of mortality in gastric cancer patients. CEA may be an independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer patients and may aid in determining appropriate treatment which may preferentially benefit the CEA+ patients.

              SIRT1 expression is associated with poor prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

              Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase. Recently, it is suggested that SIRT1 may be involved in the development of malignant tumors including mouse lymphoma. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence and the prognostic impact of SIRT1 expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Immunohistochemical expression of SIRT1, p53, bcl2, CD10, bcl6, and multiple myeloma-1 (MUM1) were evaluated by using a 2 mm core from 104 DLBCL patients for tissue microarray. Positive expression of SIRT1 was seen in 74% (77/104) of patients. In total DLBCL patients, SIRT1 and p53 expression were significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) by univariate analysis (P=0.001 and P=0.011, respectively). SIRT1 was also an independent prognostic factor by multivariate analysis (P=0.01). According to the expression patterns of CD10, bcl6, and MUM1, germinal center B cell (GCB) types were represented in 38 cases (37%) and non-GCB types were represented in 66 cases (63%). In the GCB type, only p53 expression was associated with a significantly shorter OS (P=0.032). In the non-GCB type, expression of SIRT1 correlated with shorter OS by univariate analyses (P=0.005) and multivariate analyses (P=0.049). In conclusion, we showed that SIRT1 expression is a clinically significant prognostic indicator for DLBCL patients.
