目的 旨在探讨着丝粒蛋白U(centromere protein U,CENPU)在结直肠癌患者肠组织中的表达情况,并结合生物信息学分析其表达水平对结直肠癌患者预后的影响.方法 通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction,qRT-PCR)、蛋白质免疫印迹(Western blot,WB)法以及免疫组织化学染色(immunohistochemistry,IHC)实验验证 CENPU在组织中的表达情况.结合患者临床病例资料,通过单因素和多因素Cox 回归分析 CENPU 的表达与结直肠癌患者临床病例参数的相关性;然后通过绘制受试操作者操作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线和Kaplan-Meier生存曲线,探究CENPU的表达对结直肠癌患者预后的预测作用.最后,通过生物信息学分析CENPU的表达对结直肠癌疾病进展影响的可能分子机制.结果 通过qRT-PCR、WB法以及IHC实验均发现,与正常组织比较,CENPU在结直肠癌患者癌组织中表达显著升高.Cox回归分析表明CENPU的表达与患者的年龄和TNM分期显著相关,是影响患者预后的危险因素.Kaplan-Meier生存曲线分析表明:CENPU高表达的结直肠癌患者的生存率显著降低.ROC曲线结果表明:基于CENPU的表达建立的模型具有较高的预测结直肠癌患者预后的能力.生物信息学分析结果表明:CENPI、CENPN、CENPD、CENPK、CENPP、CENPM、CENPQ、CENPH、NDC80以及 ITGB3BP 这 10 个基因与 CENPU 基因具有相互作用关系;CENPU 参与 DNA 修复、MYC/TARGETS/V1 以及PI3K/AKT/MTOR等信号通路.结论 结直肠癌患者癌组织中高表达的CENPU与患者的不良预后显著相关,提示CENPU有望成为结直肠癌患者早期诊断及预测预后的潜在靶点.
Expression and clinical significance of CENPU in intestinal tissues of patients with colorectal cancer
Objective To investigate the expression of centromere protein U(CENPU)in the intestinal tissues of patients with colon cancer,and to analyze the effect of CENPU expression level on the prognosis of patients with colon cancer combined with bioinformatics.Methods Firstly,the expression of CENPU in cancer tissues and normal tissues of colon cancer patients was analyzed by the expression of CENPU in tissues was further verified by real-time quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),Western blot(WB)and immunohistochemistry(IHC).Combined with clinical data,univariate and multivariate Cox regression are used to analyze the correlation between CENPU expression and clinical case parameters of colon cancer patients.Then,the predictive effect of CENPU expression on the prognosis of colon cancer patients are explored by drawing receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Finally,the possible molecular mechanism of the effect of CENPU expression on the progression of colon cancer are analyzed by bioinformatics.Results By qRT-PCR,WB and IHC experiments,we find that compared with normal tissues,the expression of CENPU in cancer tissues of colon cancer patients is significantly increased.Cox regression analysis show that the expression of CENPU is significantly correlated with the age and TNM stage of patients,and is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis show that colon cancer patients with high CENPU expression has significantly lower survival rates.ROC curve show that the model based on CENPU expression has a high predictive power for the prognosis of colon cancer patients area under the curve(AUC=0.832).Bioinformatics analysis show that CENPI,CENPN,CENPD,CENPK,CENPP,CENPM,CENPQ,CENPH,NDC80 and ITGB3BP have significant interaction with CENPU gene.CENPU is involved in DNA repair,MYC/TARGETS/V1 and PI3K/AKT/MTOR signaling pathways.Conclusion High expression of CENPU in cancer tissues of patients with colon cancer is significantly associated with poor prognosis of patients,suggesting that CENPU is expected to be a potential target for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of patients with colon cancer.
