Prognostic significance of TG/HDL-C and non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratios in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Lung cancer is a malignancy with high a mortality rate that threatens human health. This study is aimed to explore the correlation among the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein ratio (TG/HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio (non-HDL-C/HDL-C) and survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing video-associated thoracic surgery (VATS).

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed 284 patients with NSCLC who underwent VATS at Hebei General Hospital, Shijiazhuang, China. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value and evaluate the area under the curve. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the prognostic effect.

Results

The median overall survival (OS) was 46 months. Patients with low TG/HDL-C and low non-HDL-C/HDL-C had a longer OS. The low non-HDL-C/HDL-C group showed a longer mean survival time (59.00 vs. 52.35 months). Multivariate analysis revealed that TG/HDL-C and non-HDL-C/HDL-C were significantly correlated with OS.

Conclusions

TG/HDL-C and non-HDL-C/HDL-C are associated with the prognosis of patients with NSCLC who received VATS. Preoperative serum TG/HDL-C and non-HDL-C/HDL-C may be effective independent prognostic factors for predicting the outcomes of patients with NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be assessed based on pathological type, disease stage and inflammatory indicators, the prognostic scoring model of NSCLC still needs to improve. HDAC11 is associated with poor prognosis of partial tumors, but its prognostic relationship with NSCLC is poorly understood. In this study, the role of HDAC11 in NSCLC was studied to evaluate relationship with disease prognosis and potential therapeutic target.MethodsThe clinicopathological and paracancerous tissues of patients with NSCLC primarily diagnosed in Tangdu Hospital from 2009 to 2013 were collected. Follow-up of patients were made every three months and the last follow-up period was December 2018. The expression of HDAC11 was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Then, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to analyze the relationship between HDAC11 expression and the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Kaplan-Meier plotter database was used to verify the connection between hub genes and tumor stage and prognosis. We accessed the relationship between HDAC11 expression and clinicopathological features, and impact on the prognosis.ResultsThe study assessed 326 patients with NSCLC. Compared with adjacent tissues, HDAC11 expression was upregulated (HR =1.503, 95% CI: 1.172 to 1.927, P=0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses showed that HDAC11 expression was closely related to OS of NSCLC patients (P=0.0011). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the independent risk factors of OS were clinical stage, HDAC11 expression, and HDAC11 differentiation (all P≤0.001). HDAC11 was significantly associated with prognosis in LUAD. A total of 1,174 differential genes and WGCNA were obtained to construct a co-expression network in LUAD. The GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses showed the relevance with staphylococcus aureus infection, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, and others. The results of LUAD survival analysis showed that HDAC11-related genes NKX2-5 and FABP7 were significantly associated with LUAD prognosis.ConclusionsThe high expression of HDAC11 is related to the poor prognosis of LUAD, and it is expected to become a therapeutic target and prognostic evaluation therapy for LUAD in the future. However, the relevant results need to be further studied and verified.

Project description:The majority of lung cancers belong to the non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) category, which is linked to a high mortality rate despite significant progress in diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, there is a need for novel prognostic NSCLC biomarkers to improve prognosis which currently remains poor. Recent studies and analyses of gene expression data of NSCLC revealed that high expression of KIAA1522 was significantly associated with poor prognosis and decreased overall survival. We identified 98 patients who underwent radical curative surgical resections or metastasectomy for pulmonary adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma at our institution or the pathological diagnosis confirmed by our pathologists. Following the latest data, we utilized immunohistochemistry to assess the expression of KIAA1522 and investigated its association with various clinic-demographic parameters, pathological stages, recurrence rates, overall survival, and disease-free survival in patients who achieved complete remission. Notably, there were no significant differences in the expression profiles of KIAA1522 between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma samples (p=0.6). Survival analysis was conducted using log-rank tests and a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. Of the 98 samples, 54 (55.1%) exhibited high expression of KIAA1522, and patients with high KIAA1522 expression had a significantly shorter overall survival than the low-expression group (p=0.01). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models in which metastatic patients were included revealed that along with older age, higher TNM stage (tumor, node, metastasis system), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, high expression of KIAA1522 served as an independent prognostic factor. A high expression profile was not significantly associated with relapses in those whose complete remission had been achieved. Still, those patients with high expression of KIAA1522 tended to exhibit a shorter disease-free survival rate. In conclusion, our findings suggest that KIAA1522 expression is an independent factor for predicting overall survival and may serve as a valuable prognostic indicator for relapse and disease-free survival in NSCLC patients.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer has been a common malignant tumor with a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, current molecular targets are woefully lacking comparing to the highly progressive cancer. The study is designed to identify new prognostic predictors and potential gene targets based on bioinformatic analysis of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.MethodsFour cDNA expression profiles GSE19188, GSE101929, GSE18842 and GSE33532 were chosen from GEO database to analyze the differently expressed genes (DEGs) between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and normal lung tissues. After the DEGs functions were analyzed, the protein-protein interaction network (PPI) of DEGs were constructed, and the core gene in the network which has high connectivity degree with other genes was identified. We analyzed the association of the gene with the development of NSCLC as well as its prognosis. Lastly we explored the conceivable signaling mechanism of the gene regulation during the development of NSCLC.ResultsA total of 92 up regulated and 214 down regulated DEGs were shared in four cDNA expression profiles. Based on their PPI network, TOP2A was connected with most of other genes and was selected for further analysis. Kaplan-Meier overall survival analysis (OS) revealed that TOP2A was associated with worse NSCLC patients survival. And both GEPIA analysis and immunohistochemistry experiment (IHC) confirmed that TOP2A was aberrant gain of expression in cancer comparing to normal tissues. The clinical significance of TOP2A and probable signaling pathways it involved in were further explored, and a positive correlation between TOP2A and TPX2 expression was found in lung cancer tissues.ConclusionUsing bioinformatic analysis, we revealed that TOP2A could be adopted as a prognostic indicator of NSCLC and it potentially regulate cancer development through co-work with TPX2. However, more detailed experiments are needed to clarify its drug target role in clinical medical use.
