Abstract
In view of multiplicity of carcinogenic pathways of gastric carcinoma (GC), poor survival and chemotherapy resistance, more analysis of these pathways is required for prediction of prognosis and developing new therapeutic targets. Knocking down of RORα; induces tumor cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). LAPTM4B has been suggested to be associated with EMT which promote tumor invasion. This work aimed to investigate prognostic role of RORα, LAPTM4B, and E-Cadherin expression in GC. This retrospective immunohistochemical study assesses the expression of RORα, LAPTM4B, and E-Cadherin in 73 primary gastric carcinomas. Low RORα and high LAPTM4B expression in GC cases were associated with unfavorable prognostic factors such as positive lymph nodes, and high tumor budding. E-Cadherin heterogeneous staining was associated with poor prognostic criteria, such as diffuse type GC and high tumor budding. Low RORα, high LAPTM4B, and heterogeneous E-Cadherin were the most common immunohistochemical profile in GC cases. Low RORα expression showed poor prognostic impact on overall patient survival. In conclusion, RORα and LAPTM4B may have crucial role in GC aggressiveness. The predominance of low RORα, high LAPTM4B, and heterogeneous or negative E-Cadherin immunohistochemical profile in GC cases with unfavorable pathological parameters suggested that this profile may predict tumor behavior.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gastric carcinoma (GC) is the tenth most prevalent cancer in both sexes in Egypt. Many pathways have been investigated regarding pathogenesis of GC, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. In view of multiplicity of carcinogenic pathways, poor survival and chemotherapy resistance detected in GC patients, more analysis of these pathways is required for better molecular selection of patients, prediction of prognosis and developing new therapeutic targets. Down-regulation of E-Cadherin is an important EMT stage. RORα is a tumor suppressor gene, expressed in normal epithelial tissues and reduced in a variety of human cancers. Knocking down of RORα; increase cell proliferation, EMT, migration, and invasion. LAPTM4B is a protooncogene and it has been suggested to be strictly associated with EMT induction. Therefore, this work aims to investigate the role of RORα, LAPTM4B and E-Cadherin and its relationship to prognosis of GC.
Methods
This is a retrospective study where the standard immunohistochemical technique was done to assess the expression of RORα, LAPTM4B and E-Cadherin in 167 cases of chronic gastritis (control group) and 73 primary gastric carcinomas (51 of them have available adjacent non tumor tissue).
Results
Low RORα and high LAPTM4B expression in GC cases were associated with unfavorable prognostic factors such as positive lymph nodes, and high tumor budding. E-Cadherin Heterogeneous staining was associated with poor prognostic pathological criteria, such as diffuse type GC and high tumor budding. In GC, there was significant co parallel correlation between RORα and E-Cadherin expression while LAPTM4B showed inverse correlation with E-Cadherin expression. Low RORα, high LAPTM4B, and negative or heterogeneous E-Cadherin were the most common immunohistochemical profile in GC cases. Low RORα expression showed poor prognostic impact on overall patient survival.
Conclusions
Low RORα H-score and increased expression of LAPTM4B were significantly associated with unfavorable prognostic parameters of GC which may indicate their crucial role in tumor aggressiveness. The predominance of low RORα, high LAPTM4B and heterogeneous or negative E-Cadherin immunohistochemical profile in GC cases with unfavorable pathological parameters suggested that this profile may predict tumor behavior and this profile could be linked to EMT molecular subtype of GC

[PMID: 32764992 PMCID: PMC7381779 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s234443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Long non-coding RNA P73 antisense RNA 1T (TP73-AS1) is a newly discovered lncRNA involved in the occurrence and development of several cancers. However, its role in lung cancer has not been well investigated yet. Methods The expressions of TP73-AS1, microRNA-27b-3p (miR-27b-3p) and lysosomal-associated protein transmembrane-4 Beta (LAPTM4B) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were detected by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), Annexin V-FITC/PI and transwell assays, respectively. Tumor xenografts were applied to explore the role of TP73-AS1 in vivo. The target relationship was predicted by StarBase v.2.0 or TargetScan and confirmed by luciferase reporter assay. Pearson's coefficient assay was applied to assess the expression correlation between two groups. Protein expression levels were detected by Western blot. Results We found that TP73-AS1 was strikingly up-regulated in lung cancer tissues and cells. TP73-AS1 depletion inhibited the growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells in vitro. Furthermore, TP73-AS1 could act as an endogenous sponge by directly binding miR-27b-3p, and a notable inverse correlation between them was also discovered. Importantly, knockdown of miR-27b-3p could reverse the inhibitory effects of TP73-AS1 depletion on the growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells. Besides, LAPTM4B was directly targeted by miR-27b-3p and could be co-regulated by TP73-AS1 and miR-27b-3p in lung cancer cells. Silencing TP73-AS1 hampered tumor growth by regulating miR-27b-3p/LAPTM4B axis in vivo. Conclusion TP73-AS1 promoted the progression of lung cancer through regulating miR-27b-3p/LAPTM4B axis and it might be a potential target for diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Overexpression of LAPTM4B-35 is a negative prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Sci Rep 2019; 9:18866. [PMID: 31827181 PMCID: PMC6906383 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-55319-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Accepted: 11/26/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Overexpression of LAPTM4B-35 (lysosomal-associated transmembrane protein 4β-35) is associated with a poor prognosis in numerous malignant tumours. Expression patterns and effects of LAPTM4B-35 on head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic relevance of LAPTM4B-35 in HNSCC. Tissue microarrays were constructed with primary tumours and associated lymph node metastases isolated from 127 patients. The expression of LAPTM4B-35 was investigated by immunohistochemistry and the results were correlated with survival data. LAPTM4B-35 in the primary tumour was highly expressed in 47.2% of the patients (60/127). LAPTM4B-35 expression was significantly associated with tumour stage. Moreover, overexpression of LAPTM4B-35 correlated with a significantly worse disease-free survival (10.23 years vs. not reached) and a higher recurrence rate (40.7% vs. 25%). High expression of LAPTM4B-35 in lymph node metastasis was found in 29.2% of cases. In 19.4% of cases, high LAPTM4B-35 expression was observed in both the primary tumour and corresponding lymph node metastases. In conclusion, our data indicates that overexpression of LAPTM4B-35 is associated with poor prognosis and may therefore serve as a new prognostic marker in HNSCC.

Abstract
Salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies of the head and neck. The lysosome-associated protein transmembrane-4β gene (LAPTM4B) is a novel oncogene that has been found overexpressed in a number of clinically aggressive cancers. This study aimed to investigate the expression of the LAPTM4B-35 protein in normal salivary gland and salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma, a relatively indolent malignancy, and explore its clinicopathological significance in this malignancy. By immunohistochemical analysis, LAPTM4B-35 expression was evaluated in 106 cancer tissues, their adjacent non-cancerous tissues and five normal salivary glands. The correlation of LAPTM4B-35 expression with clinicopathological parameters was assessed using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. The level of LAPTM4B-35 expression varied among different cell types of normal salivary glands. It was expressed at a fairly low level in serous and mucous acini, at low level in intercalated duct and excretory duct cells and moderately in secretory/striated ducts. In 50% of high grade tumor tissues tested, LAPTM4B-35 was markedly overexpressed. LAPTM4B-35 levels were significantly associated with histological grade and clinical stage. LAPTM4B-35 plays an important role in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma and may serve as a diagnostic marker and a target for individualized therapy.

Abstract
Background: Lysosome-associated protein transmembrane-4β-35(LAPTM4B-35) has been observed overexpressed in multiple malignant tumors. However, the prognostic value of LAPTM4B-35 remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of LAPTM4B-35 in human cancers. Methods: The relevant publications were obtained by systematically searching the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for the prognosis value of LAPTM4B-35 for cancer patient. Results: Our result suggest that LAPTM4B-35 overexpression is significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.49, 95% CI = 1.87-3.32, p < 0.001), disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.35-4.35, p = 0.003), and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 4.12, 95% CI = 2.30-7.37, p < 0.001). Moreover, subgroup analysis revealed significant association with poor OS in lung (HR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.37-3.06, p < 0.001), gastric carcinoma (HR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.01-3.50, p < 0.047) and ovarian cancer (HR = 4.94, 95% CI = 1.44-16.94, p = 0.011). Conclusion: LAPTM4B-35 may be a novel predictive biomarker and a potential target for treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatocellular carcinoma is a lethal disease worldwide and therefore the establishment of novel diagnostic biomarkers is imperative. In this study, it was hypothesized that an abnormal expression of the lysosomal-associated protein transmembrane 4 beta ( LAPTM4B) gene is crucial in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus-mediated hepatocellular carcinoma; hence we investigated the expression profile of LAPTM4B in hepatitis C virus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS A group of 189 consecutive patients (hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma as tumor cases; n=93, hepatitis C virus-related cirrhotics as disease controls; n=96) opting for living donor liver transplantation as a therapeutic surgical regimen were recruited with informed consent. Additionally, paired adjacent non-tumorous tissues (n=93) obtained from cases were also included. Serum LAPTM4B protein concentrations were assessed by third-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and LAPTM4B mRNA, and protein expressions at tissue level were determined by quantitative real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry techniques, respectively. RESULTS LAPTM4B protein concentrations in sera of patients were higher ( p<0.001) in tumor cases (1.25±0.25 ng/ml) compared to disease controls (0.53±0.28 ng/ml). Our study also depicts positive clinicopathological correlations between alpha-fetoprotein titers (b=0.65; p<0.001), quantitative hepatitis C virus RNA copies (b=0.33; p<0.001), and LAPTM4B protein concentrations, all in sera of patients. In addition, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analyses revealed a significantly higher ( p<0.05) tissue LAPTM4B mRNA and protein expression, respectively, in tumor cases rather than in non-tumorous tissues and disease controls. CONCLUSIONS Together, our results illustrate the LAPTM4B gene as a diagnostic biomarker in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma having documented evidence of chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysosome-associated transmembrane-4 beta (LAPTM4B) is an oncogene that participates tumorgenesis in a variety of human solid tumors, and it has two alleles named as LAPTM4B*1 and *2. The present study aimed to identify the association of LAPTM4B genotype with clinicopathological features and prognosis in colorectal and esophageal cancer patients. METHOD Genotypes of LAPTM4B were determined by PCR in 167 colon cancer cases (72 patients in a discovery cohort and 95 patients in a testing cohort), 160 rectal cancer cases and 164 esophageal cancer cases. Association between the LAPTM4B gene polymorphism and clinicopathological variables was calculated by Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Patient survival differences were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were determined with Log-rank test and Cox regression model. RESULTS LAPTM4B *1/1 was more frequently detected in colon cancer patients with lymph node metastasis and TNM III+IV stages in total colon cancer (discovery + testing cohorts). LAPTM4B *2/2 decreased in recurrent patients in total colon cancer patients (P = 0.045). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Log-rank test showed that LAPTM4B*1 was correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) in discovery and testing cohorts of colon cancer (P = 0.0254 and 0.0292, respectively), but not in rectal and esophageal cancer cases (P = 0.7669 and 0.9356, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that LAPTM4B genotype was an independent prognostic factor for OS in total colon cancer [P = 0.004, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.432; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.243-0.768], but not in rectal and esophageal cancers (P = 0.791, HR = 1.073, 95% CI = 0.638-1.804 and 0.998, HR = 1.000, 95% CI = 0.663-1.530, respectively). CONCLUSION These findings suggested that LAPTM4B allele *1 was a risk factor associated with poor prognosis in patients with colon cancer, but not in patients with rectal or esophageal cancers. LAPTM4B genotype status might be a useful prognostic indicator for patients that need surgical operation in colon cancer.

Abstract
The oncogene Lysosome-associated protein transmembrane-4β (LAPTM4B) gene was identified, and the polymorphism region in the 5′-UTR of this gene was certified to be associated with tumor susceptibility. LAPTM4B-35 protein was found to be highly expressed in various solid tumors and could be a poor prognosis marker. The functions of LAPTM4B in solid tumors were also explored. It is suggested that LAPTM4B could promote the proliferation of tumor cells, boost invasion and metastasis, resist apoptosis, initiate autophagy and assist drug resistance.

Abstract
The lysosome-associated protein transmembrane-4β-35 (LAPTM4B-35) protein has been indicated to be involved in solid tumors, while its role in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the LAPTM4B-35 protein expression and its clinical and prognostic role in SCLC patients. A total of 88 SCLC patients who underwent radical surgery between 2002 and 2010 were enrolled in the study. The level of messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein was detected from the fresh paired tumor specimens and adjacent normal tissues. The clinicopathological and survival data were collected. And the relationship between LAPTM4B-35 and clinicopathological features was analyzed. The prognostic value of LAPTM4B-35 for SCLC was investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses. The LAPTM4B-35 was overexpressed significantly in SCLC cancer tissues. The elevated protein expression was correlated strongly with clinical stage (p = 0.012) and tumor recurrence (p = 0.023). The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) were significantly worse in the patients with high LAPTM4B-35 level. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that high LAPTM4B-35 expression was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) and DFS (p = 0.017 vs p = 0.011). LAPTM4B-35 overexpression was an independent factor in SCLC prognosis, which may be considered a potential useful marker in defining the SCLC prognosis.
