Abstract Background: Previous researches have reported that tripartite motif-containing 44 (TRIM44) is related to the prognosis of multiple human tumors. This study was designed to systematically assess the prognostic value of TRIM44 in human malignancies and to describe its possible mechanisms of oncogenesis. Methods: The available databases worldwide were searched for eligible studies that evaluated the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of TRIM44 in patients with malignancies.The hazard ratio (HR) and combined odds ratios (ORs) were combined to assess the predictive role of TRIM44 using Stata/SE 14.1 software. Results: A total of 1,740 patients from thirteen original studies were finally included in this study . The results of the combined analysis showed that over-expression of TRIM44 was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) in cancer patients (HR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.65–2.83) as well as worse disease-free survival (DFS) (HR= 2.13 (95% CI 1.45–3.11). Additionally, the combined ORs indicated that elevated TRIM44 expression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (OR=2.69, 95% CI: 1.71–4.24), distant metastasis (OR=10.35, 95% CI: 1.01-106.24), poor tumor differentiation (OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.03–3.09), increased depth of tumor invasion (OR=2.72, 95% CI: 1.73–4.30), advanced clinical stage (OR=2.75, 95% CI: 2.04-3.71), and recurrence (OR=2.30, 95% CI: 1.34–3.95). Analysis of expression using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) indicated that the expression of TRIM44 was higher in most tumor tissues than in the corresponding normal tissues.Survival analysis indicated high levels of TRIM44 mRNA were associated with unfavorable OS and DFS in various malignancies. Conclusions: TRIM44 may serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for patients with malignancies.

Abstract Background: Previous researches have reported that tripartite motif-containing 44 (TRIM44) is related to the prognosis of multiple human tumors. This study was designed to systematically assess the prognostic value of TRIM44 in human malignancies and summarize its possible tumor-related mechanisms.Methods: The available databases were searched for eligible studies that evaluated the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of TRIM44 in patients with malignancies. The hazard ratios (HR) and odds ratios (OR) were combined to assess the predictive role of TRIM44 using Stata/SE 14.1 software.Results: A total of 1,740 patients from thirteen original studies were finally included in this study. The results of the combined analysis showed that over-expression of TRIM44 protein was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.60-2.35) and worse disease-free survival (DFS) (HR= 2.13, 95% CI: 1.24-3.65) in cancer patients. Additionally, the combined ORs indicated that elevated expression level of TRIM44 protein was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (OR=2.69, 95% CI: 1.71-4.24), distant metastasis (OR=10.35, 95% CI: 1.01-106.24), poor tumor differentiation (OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.03-3.09), increased depth of tumor invasion (OR=2.72, 95% CI: 1.73-4.30), advanced clinical stage (OR=2.75, 95% CI: 2.04-3.71), and recurrence (OR=2.30, 95% CI: 1.34-3.95). Furthermore, analysis results using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) showed that the expression level of TRIM44 mRNA was higher in most tumor tissues than in the corresponding normal tissues, and the relationship between TRIM44 mRNA level and prognosis in various malignant tumors also explored in GEPIA and OS analysis webservers.Conclusions: TRIM44 may serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for patients with malignancies.

Background: Several studies demonstrated that long non-coding RNA differentiation antagonizing non-protein coding RNA (lncRNA DANCR) expression might have the potential capacity to predict the cancer prognosis, however, definite conclusion has not been obtained. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognostic value of lncRNA DANCR expression in cancers. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase were comprehensively searched for relevant studies. Studies meeting all inclusion standards were included into this meta-analysis. The analysis of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) or clinicopathological features was conducted. Results: Eleven studies containing 1,154 cancer patients were analyzed in this meta-analysis. The results showed, compared with low lncRNA DANCR expression, high lncRNA DANCR expression was significantly associated with shorter OS (HR=1.85, 95%CI=1.52-2.26, P<0.01) and DFS (HR=1.82, 95%=1.43-2.32, P<0.01) in cancers. Besides, high lncRNA DANCR expression predicted deeper tumor invasion (P<0.01), earlier lymph node metastasis (P<0.01), earlier distant metastasis (P<0.01) and more advanced clinical stage (P<0.01) compared with low lncRNA DANCR expression in cancer populations. Conclusion: High lncRNA DANCR expression was associated with worse prognosis compared with low lncRNA DANCR expression in cancers. LncRNA DANCR expression could serve as a prognostic factor of human cancers.

Background: There is a dispute on the prognostic value of long non-coding RNA regulator of reprogramming (lncRNA ROR) in cancers. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of lncRNA ROR expression in human cancers. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to look for relevant studies. The meta-analyses of prognostic and clinicopathological parameters (CPs) were conducted. Results: A total of ten studies were finally included into the meta-analysis. High lncRNA ROR expression was significantly associated with shorter overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.16–3.84, P<0.01) and disease-free survival (HR = 3.25, 95% CI = 2.30–4.60, P<0.01) compared with low lncRNA ROR expression. Besides, high lncRNA ROR expression was obviously related to more advanced clinical stage (P<0.01), earlier tumor metastasis (P=0.02), lymph node metastasis (P<0.01), and vascular invasion (P<0.01) compared with low lncRNA ROR expression. However, there was no significant correlation between lncRNA ROR expression and other CPs, including age (P=0.18), gender (P=0.33), tumor size (P=0.25), or tumor differentiation (P=0.13). Conclusion: High lncRNA ROR expression was associated with worse prognosis in cancers. LncRNA ROR expression could serve as an unfavorable prognostic factor in various cancers.

Abstract Background: Mounting evidence shows that microRNA-34a (miR-34a) is involved in cancer prognosis. Therefore, we summarize the predictive role of miR-34a for survival in patients with gastrointestinal cancers (GICs). Methods: All the eligible studies were searched by PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE and survival results were extracted. Then, the hazard ratio (HR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to evaluate the prognostic role of miR-34a in GICs. The association between miR-34a expression and clinicopathological characteristics was estimated by odds ratio (OR) and 95%CIs. Results: A total of 20 studies were included in this meta-analysis. For overall survival (OS), the lower miR-34a expression significantly predicted poorer outcome in GICs, with the pooled HR of 1.86 (95% CI: 1.52-2.28, P<0.01). For disease-free survival (DFS), progressive-free survival (PFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS), the lower miR-34a expression revealed worse DFS/PFS/RFS with the pooled HR of 1.86 (95% CI: 1.31–2.63, P < 0.01). Significant relation of differentiation/TMN stage/lymphatic metastasis and the expression level of miR-34a was identified. Conclusion: This meta-analysis reveals that lower miR-34a expression is significantly connected with worse OS and DFS/PFS/RFS of GICs patients. In addition, miR-34a expression level is relatively lower in patients with lymph node metastasis than patients without, and decreased miR-34a expression level is linked to poor tumor differentiation and late TMN stage. MiR-34a may become a new factor for prognosis prediction and progression of GICs.

Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 2 (AIFM2) are the key regulators in ferroptosis. However, the expression patterns and prognostic roles of these genes in pan-cancer are still largely unclear. The expression patterns and prognostic roles of SLC7A11, GPX4, and AIFM2 and the relationships between the expression levels of these genes and immune infiltration levels in pan-cancer were analyzed by using TIMER, gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA), Oncomine, and Kaplan–Meier databases. Our results showed that both SLC7A11 and GPX4 were overexpressed in colorectal cancer, and SLC7A11 was overexpressed in lung cancer. High levels of SLC7A11 and AIFM2 were significantly linked with the shortened disease-free survival and overall survival (OS) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), respectively. And high expression of SLC7A11, GPX4, and AIFM2 were significantly correlated with the shortened OS of acute myeloid leukemia patients. In esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), GPX4 expression was significantly associated with the infiltration of macrophage and myeloid dendritic cell, and AIFM2 expression was significantly associated with the infiltration of CD4+ T cell. Importantly, GPX4 expression was positively correlated with the expression levels of monocyte markers (CD14 and CD115) and M2 macrophage markers (VSIG4 and MS4A4A) both in ESCA and in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). In summary, SLC7A11, GPX4, and AIFM2 are dysregulated in many types of cancers, and are candidate prognostic biomarkers for many types of cancers, and can be used to evaluate the infiltration of immune cells in tumor tissues.

66 Background: In CLASSIC and MAGIC, MSI was a good prognostic factor, and adjuvant/perioperative chemotherapy had null/detrimental effect. Given the low prevalence of MSI in GCs and its association with other good prognostic variables, larger datasets are needed to draw more robust evidences on its specific prognostic/predictive impact. Methods: This was a multinational IPD meta-analysis of resectable GC pts enrolled in MAGIC, CLASSIC, ARTIST, ITACA-S. Data on pts’ demographics (age, sex, and race), primary site (stomach versus junctional), histotype (intestinal vs. other), T/N stage (7th TNM), treatment received (multimodal therapy vs. surgery alone) and MSI were pooled. Univariable and multivariable associations with disease-free survival (DFS)/overall survival (OS) were assessed. The predictive role of MSI according to treatment received was assessed overall and in the 2 RCTs with a surgery alone arm (MAGIC+CLASSIC). Results: We pooled 1,552 pts with available MSI status: 121 (7,8%) were MSI, 572 Caucasian/980 Asian. In MSI versus MSS subgroups, 5-y DFS was 71.8% (95% CI: 63.8-80.7%) versus 52.3% (49.6-55.0%) (HR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.35-0.72; p < 0.001); 5-y OS 77.4% (69.9-85.8%) versus 59.2% (56.6-62.0%) (HR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.34-0-74; p < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, MSI was independently associated with DFS (HR = 0.48 [0.33-0.70]; p < 0.001) and OS (HR = 0.48 [0.29-0.81]; p = 0.005), as T/N/race/treatment. Conclusions: In resectable primary GC, MSI is an independent good prognostic marker that should be adopted as stratification factor in future RCTs. Chemotherapy omission and/or immune checkpoint blockade should be prospectively investigated in MSI-high GCs according to the clinically-defined risk of relapse. [Table: see text]

PURPOSE In the CLASSIC and MAGIC trials, microsatellite instability (MSI)–high status was a favorable prognostic and potential negative predictive factor for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy in resectable gastric cancer (GC). Given the low prevalence of MSI-high status in GC and its association with other positive prognostic variables, large data sets are needed to draw robust evidence of its prognostic/predictive value. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a multinational, individual-patient-data meta-analysis of the prognostic/predictive role of MSI in patients with resectable GC enrolled in the MAGIC, CLASSIC, ARTIST, and ITACA-S trials. Prognostic analyses used multivariable Cox models (MVM). The predictive role of MSI was assessed both in an all-comer population and in MAGIC and CLASSIC trials by MVM testing of the interaction of treatment (chemotherapy plus surgery v surgery) with MSI. RESULTS MSI status was available for 1,556 patients: 121 (7.8%) had MSI-high status; 576 were European, and 980 were Asian. In MSI-high versus MSI-low/microsatellite stable (MSS) comparisons, the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 71.8% (95% CI, 63.8% to 80.7%) versus 52.3% (95% CI, 49.7% to 55.1%); the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 77.5% (95% CI, 70.0% to 85.8%) versus 59.3% (95% CI, 56.6% to 62.1%). In MVM, MSI was associated with longer DFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.88; 95% CI, 1.28 to 2.76; P < .001) and OS (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.17 to 2.73; P = .008), as were pT, pN, ethnicity, and treatment. Patients with MSI-low/MSS GC benefitted from chemotherapy plus surgery: the 5-year DFS compared with surgery only was 57% versus 41% (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.79), and the 5-year OS was 62% versus 53% (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.94). Conversely, those with MSI-high GC did not: the 5-year DFS was 70% versus 77% (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 0.53 to 3.04), and the 5-year OS was 75% versus 83% (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 0.55 to 4.12). CONCLUSION In patients with resectable primary GC, MSI is a robust prognostic marker that should be adopted as a stratification factor by clinical trials. Chemotherapy omission and/or immune checkpoint blockade should be investigated prospectively in MSI-high GCs according to clinically and pathologically defined risk of relapse.

Background Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of GOLPH3 in CRC remain undefined. We thus did a meta-analysis to assess GOLPH3 association with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients and evaluate the prognostic significance of GOLPH3 in CRC. Methods An electronic search for relevant articles was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, CNKI, and WanFang databases. Two independent reviewers searched all the literature and finished the data extraction and quality assessment. Odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess estimates. Stata software (version12.0) was employed to analyze the data. Results A total of 8 published studies were eligible (N = 723 participants). Meta-analysis revealed that GOLPH3 was found to be highly expressed in tumor tissues compared to that of adjacent colorectal tissues (OR, 2.63), and overexpression of GOLPH3 had significant relationship with advanced clinical stage (OR, 3.42). GOLPH3 expression was not correlated with gender (OR, 0.89), age (OR, 0.95), positive lymphatic metastasis (OR, 1.27), tumor size (OR, 1.12), poor differentiation of tumor (OR, 0.56) or T stage (OR, 0.70). Moreover, GOLPH3 overexpression was not associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 0.42–1.86, P>0.05) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 0.80, 95% CI:-0.26–1.86, P>0.05). Conclusions GOLPH3 overexpression is correlated with tumor stage, which is an adverse clinicopathological characteristic of CRC. But, GOLPH3 can not serve as a useful biomarker in evaluating the progression of CRC.
