Down-regulation of siglec-2 (CD22) predicts worse overall survival from HBV-related early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma: a preliminary analysis from Gene Expression Omnibus
2018
Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (siglec) regulates cell death, anti-proliferative effects and mediates a variety of cellular activities. Little was known about the relationship between siglecs and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis. Siglec gene expression between tumor and non-tumor tissues were compared and correlated with overall survival (OS) from HCC patients in GSE14520 microarray expression profile. Siglec-1 to siglec-9 were all down-regulated in tumor tissues compared with those in non-tumor tissues in HCC patients (all P P = 0.007). Patients with higher siglec-2 levels achieved longer OS months than those with lower siglec-2 levels in the Kaplan–Meier event analysis both in training and validation sets ( P P = 0.043). In addition, both logistic regression analysis and ROC curve method showed that siglec-2 down-regulation in tumor tissues was significantly associated with AFP elevation over 300 ng/ml ( P
