Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) has been suggested to serve as an oncogene in most human cancers. The aim of our study is to present more evidence about the clinical and prognostic value of PLK1 in lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. The status of PLK1 was observed in lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and normal lung tissues through analyzing microarray dataset (GEO accession numbers: GSE1213 and GSE 3627). PLK1 mRNA and protein expressions were detected in lung squamous cell carcinoma and normal lung tissues by using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. In our results, the levels of PLK1 in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues were higher than that in lung adenocarcinoma tissues. Compared with paired adjacent normal lung tissues, the PLK1 expression was increased in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues. Furthermore, high expression of PLK1 protein was correlated with differentiated degree, clinical stage, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis. The univariate and multivariate analyses showed PLK1 protein high expression was an unfavorable prognostic biomarker for lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. In conclusion, high expression of PLK1 is associated with the aggressive progression and poor prognosis in lung squamous cell carcinoma patients.

The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in the tumor microenvironment has been demonstrated to be of prognostic value in various cancers. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the prognostic value of TIL in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We performed a systematic search in PubMed for publications that investigated the prognostic value of TIL in LSCC. A meta-analysis was performed including all studies assessing the association between TIL counts in hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained sections, for CD8+ and/or CD3+/CD4+ TIL and overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS). The pooled meta-analysis showed a favorable prognostic role for stromal TIL in HE sections for OS (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.36–0.91, p = 0.02), and for DFS (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34–0.94, p = 0.03). High CD8+ TIL were associated with a prolonged OS (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.4–0.97, p = 0.04) and DFS (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.34–0.94, p = 0.002). High CD3+/CD4+ TIL demonstrated improved OS (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.16–0.9, p = 0.03) and DFS (HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.10–0.53, p = 0.0005). This meta-analysis confirmed the favorable prognostic significance of TIL in LSCC. High stromal TIL evaluated in HE sections and intra-tumoral and stromal CD3+, CD4+ and/or CD8+ TIL might predict a better clinical outcome.

In this study, we investigated the potential prognostic value of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2D1 (UBE2D1) RNA expression in different histological subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A retrospective study was performed by using molecular, clinicopathological, and survival data in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)—Lung Cancer. Results showed that both lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (N=514) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) (N=502) tissues had significantly elevated UBE2D1 RNA expression compared to the normal tissues (p<0.001 and p=0.036, respectively). UBE2D1 RNA expression was significantly higher in LUAD than in LUSC tissues. Increased UBE2D1 RNA expression was independently associated with shorter OS (HR: 1.359, 95% CI: 1.031–1.791, p=0.029) and RFS (HR: 1.842, 95% CI: 1.353–2.508, p<0.001) in LUAD patients, but not in LUSC patients. DNA amplification was common in LUAD patients (88/551, 16.0%) and was associated with significantly upregulated UBE2D1 RNA expression. Based on these findings, we infer that UBE2D1 RNA expression might only serve as an independent prognostic indicator of unfavorable OS and RFS in LUAD, but not in LUSC.

Abstract Background: Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with a rising trend of incidence and mortality. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) account for the major numbers, which should be paid enough attention. Advanced glycation end products receptor (AGER) is a multi-ligand receptor that interacts with a wide range of ligands. Previous studies have shown that abnormal AGER expression is closely related to immune infiltration and tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, the AGER DNA methylation relationship between prognosis and infiltrating immune cells in LUAD and LUSC is still unclear. Results: Compared with the normal lung tissues, the expression level of AGER was significantly reduced in LUAD and LUSC. Low expression of AGER was markedly correlated with histology, stage, lymph node metastasis and Tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation and could be used as a potential indicator of poor prognosis of LUAD and LUSC. Further analysis showed that copy number variation (CNV), mutation and DNA methylation involved in the low level of AGER. Additionally, we found that AGER DNA hypermethylation meant a worse prognosis in LUAD and LUSC. In addition, we also found that hypermethylated AGER was significantly correlated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Conclusion: AGER may be a candidate for the prognostic biomarker of LUAD and LUSC related with tumor immune microenvironment.
