Prognostic role of the endothelial cell-specific molecule-1 histopathologic expression in renal cell cancer. Urol Oncol 2023:S1078-1439(23)00093-5. [PMID: 37127479 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To measure the level of endothelial cell-specific molecule-1 (ESM-1) expression among the Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) variants using by immunohistochemical method and determine the relationship between ESM-1 expression and RCC prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS ESM-1 immunoreactivity scores (IR) were measured in appropriate renal tumoral tissue blocks of 153 consecutive RCC patients in this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Mean ESM-1 IR scores were calculated in patients who were pathologically diagnosed with clear cell RCC (ccRCC), papillary RCC (pRCC), and chromophobe RCC (chRCC). Progression-free survival and overall survival were evaluated using the log-rank test according to ESM-1 IR scores. Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS In the ccRCC group, the mean ESM-1 IR scores of those with local invasion were significantly higher than those without local invasion (P = 0.014). The mean ESM-1 IR score of patients with metastatic ccRCC was significantly higher than those with non-metastatic ccRCC (P < 0.001). Considering all patients regardless of RCC subtype pathologies, the mean ESM-1 IR score in clinical stage 1 tumor was 3.82 ± 1.98, 4.87 ± 1.74 in clinical stage 2, 5.88 ± 2 in clinical stage 3, and 6.60 ± 2.23 in clinical stage 4. The mean ESM-1 IR score of patients with metastatic ccRCC was significantly higher than those with non-metastatic ccRCC (P < 0.001). The mean follow-up period for all patients in this study was 71 months (range 1-120 months). It has been shown that the higher the ESM-1 IR score, the lower the 10-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates (P = 0.026, P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Immunohistochemical expression of ESM-1 may be a promising prognostic biomarker in RCC. Currently, some prognostic scoring systems are available for patients with localized and metastasized RCC. Incorporating ESM-1 expression in RCC into these existing prognostic scoring systems could improve these models and enhance the quality of individual oncologic management in RCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulator of cullins 1 (ROC1) is frequently overexpressed in multiple tumors, and many pieces of research demonstrate that ROC1 is associated with the prognosis and development of a diversity of neoplasms and it is able to serve as a promising prognostic biomarker. Here we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic and clinicopathological significance of ROC1 in patients suffering from cancer. METHODS We searched Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang database. The role of ROC1 in cancers was evaluated by pooled hazard ratios (HRs), odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS In total, 9 studies including 1002 patients were enrolled in this analysis. The pooled results showed that patients with high expression of ROC1 had poor overall survival (OS) (HR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.48-2.60, P < 0.001) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR: 1.727, 95% CI: 0.965-2.488, P < 0.001). Additionally, elevated expression of ROC1 was significantly correlated with advanced clinical Tumor Node Metastasis stage (OR: 2.708, 95% CI: 1.856-3.951, P < 0.001), positive lymph node metastasis (OR: 1.968; 95% CI: 1.294-2.993, P = .002), large tumor size (OR: 1.522, 95% CI: 1.079-2.149, P = .017) and poor tumor differentiation (OR: 2.448, 95% CI: 1.793-3.344, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Elevated ROC1 expression predicted worse prognosis and advanced pathological parameters in various cancers. ROC1 was a significant prognostic biomarker for poor survival in human cancers.

Expression of Ring Box-1 protein and its relationship with Fuhrman grade and other clinical-pathological parameters in renal cell cancer. Urol Oncol 2019; 38:6.e17-6.e22. [PMID: 31653562 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2019.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2019] [Revised: 09/17/2019] [Accepted: 09/22/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between RING-box protein 1 (RBX-1) expression and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with prognostic factors. METHODS A total of 88 patients who underwent radical/partial nephrectomy between January 2009 and January 2016 have been included in our study. The age, gender, tumor location, tumor size, and tumor-node-metastasis stage of each patient was evaluated. From the best sections in hematoxylin-eosin stained pathology preparations, tumor histological subtype, Fuhrman nuclear grade, lymphovascular invasion, renal artery/vein invasion, capsule invasion, perirenal fatty tissue invasion, and tumor grade were evaluated. Participants were divided into 2 groups according to Fuhrman grade. Fuhrman grades 1 to 2 comprised Group 1, and Fuhrman grades 3 to 4 comprised Group 2. An immunoreactivity scoring system was used to evaluate RBX-1 expression. RESULTS Upon examining all histological subtypes together, it was observed that RBX-1 expression was statistically higher in Group 2 compared to Group 1 (P < 0.008). Upon examining clear RCC cases, it was observed again that Group 2 had a higher RBX-1 expression than Group 1 (P < 0.009). RBX-1 expression was not associated with clinical-pathological parameters including tumor grade, lymphovascular invasion, capsule invasion, or perirenal invasion. CONCLUSION RBX-1 expression is closely associated with a highly important prognostic factor in RCC-Fuhrman grade-and it shows promise as a prognostic marker. Further studies are required to reveal the importance of RBX-1 in RCC prognosis and treatment.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate effects of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, L-glutamine, and L-arginine (HMB/GLN/ARG) on radiation-induced acute intestinal toxicity. Forty rats were divided into four groups: group (G) 1 was defined as control group, and G2 was radiation therapy (RT) control group. G3 and G4 were HMB/GLN/ARG control and RT plus HMB/GLN/ARG groups, respectively. HMB/GLN/ARG started from day of RT and continued until the animals were sacrificed 10 days after RT. The extent of surface epithelium smoothing, villous atrophy, lamina propria inflammation, cryptitis, crypt distortion, regenerative atypia, vascular dilatation and congestion, and fibrosis were quantified on histological sections of intestinal mucosa. Statistical analyses were performed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. There were significant differences between study groups regarding extent of surface epithelium smoothing, villous atrophy, lamina propria inflammation, cryptitis and crypt distortion, regenerative atypia, vascular dilatation and congestion, and fibrosis (p values were 0.019 for fibrosis, <.001 for the others). Pair-wise comparisons revealed significant differences regarding surface epithelium smoothing, villous atrophy, lamina propria inflammation, cryptitis, vascular dilatation, and congestion between G2 and G4 (p values were <.001, .033, <.001, .007, and <.001, respectively). Fibrosis score was significantly different only between G1 and G2 (p = .015). Immunohistochemical TGF-β score of G2 was significantly higher than G1 and G3 (p values were .006 and .017, respectively). There was no difference between TGF-β staining scores of G2 and G4. Concomitant use of HMB/GLN/ARG appears to ameliorate radiation-induced acute intestinal toxicity; however, this finding should be clarified with further studies.
