BackgroundDigestive system cancers (DSCs) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. S100P has been reported as a prognostic biomarker in DSCs, but its prognostic value remains controversial. Accordingly, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate whether S100P is correlated with overall survival (OS) of patients with DSCs. The relationship between S100P and clinicopathological features was also evaluated.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library for eligible studies up to January 2020. In total, 16 publications with 1,925 patients were included.ResultsS100P overexpression was associated with poor OS of patient with DSCs (HR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.14–2.08, P=0.005). When stratified by anatomic structure, S100P overexpression was associated with poor prognosis in non-gastrointestinal tract cancers (HR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.44–2.72, P<0.001) but not in gastrointestinal tract cancers (HR=1.09, 95% CI: 0.66–1.81, P=0.727). When stratified by tumor type, S100P overexpression predicted poor OS in cholangiocarcinoma (HR=2.14, 95% CI: 1.30–3.50, P=0.003) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.22–2.99, P =0.005) but not in gastric cancer (HR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.65–1.45, P=0.872), colorectal cancer (HR=1.18, 95% CI: 0.32–4.41, P=0.807), gallbladder cancer (HR=1.40, 95% CI: 0.84-2.34, P=0.198), and pancreatic cancer (HR=1.92, 95% CI: 0.99–3.72, P=0.053). Furthermore, high S100P expression was significantly associated with distant metastasis (OR=3.58, P=0.044), advanced clinical stage (OR=2.03, P=0.041) and recurrence (OR=1.66, P=0.007).ConclusionS100P might act as a prognostic indicator of non-gastrointestinal tract 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.

Metastasis associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1), a newly identified oncogene, has been associated with poor survival of cancer patients by multiple studies. However, the prognostic value of MACC1 in digestive system neoplasms needs systematic evidence to verify. Therefore, we aimed to provide further evidence on this topic by systematic review and meta-analysis. Literature search was conducted in multiple databases and eligible studies analyzing survival data and MACC1 expression were included for meta-analysis. Hazard ratio (HR) for clinical outcome was chosen as an effect measure of interest. According to our inclusion criteria, 18 studies with a total of 2,948 patients were identified. Pooled HRs indicated that high MACC1 expression significantly correlates with poorer OS in patients with digestive system neoplasms (HR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.49–2.53) as well as poorer relapse-free survival (HR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.33–2.82). The results of subgroup studies categorized by methodology, anatomic structure, and cancer subtype for pooled OS were all consistent with the overall pooled HR for OS as well. No publication bias was detected according to test of funnel plot asymmetry and Egger’s test. In conclusion, high MACC1 expression may serve as a prognostic biomarker to guide individualized management in clinical practice for digestive system neoplasms.

Abstract Background: Recently, dysregulation of lncRNA SNHG12 has been determined in kinds of cancers. However, definite prognostic value of SNHG12 remains unclear. We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between SNHG12 expression levels and caner prognosis.Methods: A literature retrieval was conducted by searching kinds of databases. The meta-analysis of prognostic and clinicopathological parameters was performed by using Revman 5.2 and Stata 12.0 software. Besides, The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset was analyzed to validate the results in our meta-analysis via using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis.Results: High SNHG12 expression significantly predicted worse overall survival (HR=1.97, 95%CI 1.56-2.48, P<0.01) and recurrence-free survival (HR=1.71, 95%CI 1.05-2.78, P<0.01). Tumor type, sample size, survival analysis method, and cut-off value did not alter SNHG12 prognosis value according to stratified analysis results. Additionally, patients with elevated SNHG12 expression were more prone to unfavorable clinicopathological outcomes, including larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, advanced clinical stage. Online cross-validation in TCGA dataset further proved that cancer patients with upregulated SNHG12 expression had worse overall survival and disease-free survival.Conclusion: Elevated SNHG12 expression was associated with poor survival and unfavorable clinicopathological features in various cancers, and therefore might be a potential prognostic biomarker in human cancers.

Background Many studies have investigated the prognostic value of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in human cancers. However, these studies were often limited by small sample sizes. Therefore, we performed this updated meta-analysis to summarize the potential value of MALAT1 as a biomarker for early treatment and to predict survival in various human malignant neoplasms, through the inclusion of the latest literature and improved methodology. Methods Twelve eligible articles were systematically obtained from PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Cochrane Library, from inception up to June 30, 2015. Survival was assessed using pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Results By combining the results of 12 studies, we found elevated MALAT1 expression was associated with poor survival in most cancers, with a pooled HR of 1.90 (95% CI, 1.56-2.30) for overall survival (OS) and 3.06 (95% CI, 2.06-4.56) for recurrence-free survival/disease-free survival. Subgroup analyses according to ethnicity, tumor type, assay method, sample size, HR-calculation method and analysis type did not affect the predictive role of MALAT1 for OS in various cancer types. Further, by combining results from studies that used multivariate analyses, we found elevated MALAT1 was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 1.98; 95% CI, 1.58-2.48). Conclusions MALAT1 could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in various cancers and may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment and early detection of recurrence.

Background. Numerous recent studies suggested that overexpression of the long noncoding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) exhibited prooncogenic activity in multiple cancers. However, results regarding the prognostic value of SNHG12 in cancers still remained controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis complemented with bioinformatics analysis to elucidate the clinical significance of SNHG12 in cancer patients. Methods. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and Weipu databases were searched for eligible studies until July 2020. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis was applied to verify the results of meta-analysis. Results. Twenty-three related studies consisting of 1389 cancer patients were enrolled in the current meta-analysis. Elevated SNHG12 expression was found to be significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) ( HR = 1.81 ; 95% CI: 1.53-2.13; P < 0.001 ) and disease-free survival (DFS) ( HR = 1.40 ; 95% CI: 1.12-1.76; P = 0.004 ) in multiple cancers, which were also verified by the results of bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, overexpression of SNHG12 was also related to clinicopathological characteristics including LNM, distant metastasis, high clinical stage, large tumor size, and poor tumor differentiation in diverse types of cancers. Conclusion. The present findings indicated that SNHG12 might act as a novel biomarker for diagnosis or prognosis in human cancers.

Abstract Background: MicroRNA-135 (miR-135) is a well-known non-coding RNA that has been demonstrated to participate in tumorigenesis and cancer development; however, the clinical prognostic value of miR-135 in digestive system cancers remains controversial. This meta-analysis aims to explore the potential value of miR-135 as a prognostic marker for digestive system cancers. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for eligible articles published before 31 August 2019. Stata 12.0 software was used to analyze the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates to access the prognostic value of miR-135 in digestive system cancers. We then used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets to validate the meta-analysis results. Results A total of 1470 patients from 17 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that enhanced miR-135 expression was significantly associated with poor OR (hazard ratio (HR): 1.790; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.577–2.031; P=0.000), DFS (HR: 1.482; 95% CI: 0.914–2.403; P=0.110), and RFS (HR: 3.994; 95% CI: 1.363–11.697; P=0.012) in digestive system cancers. A sensitivity analysis confirmed the reliability of our findings, and no significant publication bias was observed. Conclusion: MiR-135 can be used as a novel biomarker for patients with digestive system cancers. We look forward to future large-scale clinical studies that will investigate the prognostic value of miR-135.

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.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Previous studies have reported that serum magnesium (Mg) deficiency is involved in the development of heart failure, particularly in patients with end-stage kidney disease. The association between serum Mg levels and mortality risk in patients receiving hemodialysis is controversial. We aimed to estimate the prognostic value of serum Mg concentration on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We did a systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to identify eligible studies that reported the prognostic value of serum Mg levels in mortality risk among patients on hemodialysis. We performed a meta-analysis by pooling and analyzing hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). <b><i>Results:</i></b> We identified 13 observational studies with an overall sample of 42,967 hemodialysis patients. Higher all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 1.58 [95% CI: 1.31–1.91]) and higher cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 3.08 [95% CI: 1.27–7.50]) were found in patients with lower serum Mg levels after multivariable adjustment. There was marked heterogeneity (<i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 79.6%, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001) that was partly explained by differences in age stratification and study area. In addition, subgroup analysis showed that a serum Mg concentration of ≤1.1 mmol/L might be the vigilant cutoff value. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> A lower serum Mg level was associated with higher all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis.

Background: Several studies have assessed the relationship between long non-coding RNA five prime to Xist (FTX) expression, clinicopathological features, and survival outcomes in cancer patients with conflicting results. This meta-analysis synthesized existing data to clarify the association between FTX with cancer prognosis.Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Chinese CNKI, and the Chinese WanFang databases were used to search for relevant studies. Role of FTX in cancers was evaluated by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results: Eleven studies comprising 1,210 participants including colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gastric cancer (GC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), osteosarcoma (OSC), and glioma were enrolled in this analysis. The meta-analysis showed that high FTX expression was significantly associated with several clinicopathological characteristics, including lymph node metastasis in patients with CRC, GC, HCC, and RCC, distant metastasis in patients with CRC, GC, HCC, and OSC, larger tumor size in patients with CRC, GC, HCC, RCC, and OSC, and subsequently TNM/clinical stage in patients with CRC, GC, HCC, OSC, and glioma. The pooled results from the survival analysis revealed a significant correlation between high FTX expression and shorter OS in patients with HCC, CRC, GC, OSC, and glioma. Further, FTX overexpression could be an independent predictive marker for shorter OS in patients with CRC, HCC, OSC, and glioma. Conclusions: FTX may be a potential oncogene, with high FTX expression being associated with a poorer prognosis in patients with CRC, HCC, OSC, and glioma
