Abstract Aim: We mainly investigated the relationship between the expression of SOX17, MACC1 and c-Met in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and the clinicopathological parameters of the patients and the effect on prognosis.Methods:Expressions of SOX17, MACC1 and c-Met protein in a sample of 232 ESCC and adjacent nontumorous tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Their relationships and correlations with clinicopathological features and clinical prognosis were analyzed by SPSS 23.0.Results:SOX17 was associated with Vascular invasion (p=0.017) and Nerve invasion (p=0.014). MACC1 was correlated with Tumor size (p=0.039) and TNM stage (p=0.020).c-Met was significantly associated with hematogenous metastasis (p=0.045). The expression of MACC1 was correlated with c-Met (P<0.001). c-Met expression(p=0.021) were associated with OS. Conclusion: SOX17, MACC1 and c-Met may be new diagnostic targets for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. c-Met may be a new therapeutic and prognostic target.

Aims. We sought to determine the relationship between CADM1/TSLC1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and the correlation with survival.Materials and Methods. Two hundred and ninety-three ESCC tissues and paired adjacent normal esophageal tissues were immunohistochemically assessed in this study. The association of CADM1/TSLC1 with clinicopathological parameters, as well as disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), was determined based on the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression models.Results. CADM1/TSLC1 was detected in 236 (80.5%) tumor tissues and 19 (8.0%) paired adjacent normal esophageal tissues. Decreased CADM1/TSLC1 expression was correlated with more advanced histological grade. CADM1/TSLC1 negative tumors were more frequently observed in male cases than in female cases. DFS and OS in the CADM1/TSLC1 negative group were significantly shorter than those in the positive group, particularly in male patients with ESCC.Conclusion. Loss or reduction of CADM1/TSLC1 expression is associated with more advanced histological grade and predicts early recurrence and short survival duration. Thus, loss of CADM1/TSLC1 could be a prognostic factor that can be used to assess the risk of recurrence and survival.

Background. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was treated by operation and chemoradiotherapy. However, the prognosis of most patients is poor after treatment, and most studies have shown that FGF2 and its receptor (FGFR) are involved in the development of various malignant tumors. FGF2 plays an important role in tumor progression and malignancy. In this study, the immunohistochemistry of FGF2, FGFR3, and FGFBP1 was used to further verify the expression of the three proteins in 172 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who had not received preoperative chemoradiotherapy and its effect on the prognosis of ESCC. Methods. (1) χ 2 test was used to analyze the relationship between proteins and clinicopathological parameters. Survival analysis was used to investigate the effect of three proteins on prognosis. (2) Paired sample t -test was used to analyze the mRNA expression of the three proteins in fresh ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Results. FGF2 was correlated with tumor size ( p = 0.026 ), gender ( p = 0.047 ), and lymph metastasis ( p = 0.007 ) in ESCC tissues. The high expression of FGFR3 was associated with tumor differentiation ( p = 0.043 and p < 0.05 ), lymph node metastasis ( p = 0.078 and p < 0.1 ), and race ( p = 0.033 and p < 0.05 ). The high expression of FGFBP1 was significantly associated with the degree of tumor differentiation ( p = 0.012 ), age ( p = 0.045 ), and lymph node metastasis ( p = 0.032 ) of ESCC patients. The expression of FGF2, FGFR3, and FGFBP1-mRNA in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues ( p < 0.001 , p < 0.001 , and p = 0.001 ). Patients with high expression of FGF2, FGFBP1, and FGFR3 had poor prognosis. There was a weak positive correlation between FGF2 and FGFBP1, as well as FGFR. Conclusion. The FGF2-FGFR3 axis may promote the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The FGF2-FGFR3 axis may be a new direction of targeted therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. FGF2 and FGFR3 may be used as prognostic markers of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
