Background. We aimed to explore the prognostic impact of the hypoxia-induced factors (HIFαs) 1 and 2, the metabolic HIF-regulated glucose transporter GLUT-1, and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) in non-gastrointestinal stromal tumor soft tissue sarcomas (non-GIST STS). Methods. Duplicate cores with viable tumor tissue from 206 patients with non-GIST STS were obtained and tissue microarrays were constructed. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to evaluate expression of hypoxic markers. Results. In univariate analyses, GLUT-1 (P < 0.001) and HIF-2α (P = 0.032) expression correlated significantly with a poor disease-specific survival (DSS). In the multivariate analysis, however, only high expression of GLUT-1 (HR 1.7, CI 95% 1.1-2.7, P = 0.021) was a significant independent prognostic indicator of poor DSS. Conclusion. GLUT-1 is a significant independent negative prognostic factor in non-GIST STS.
背景。我们旨在探讨缺氧诱导因子(HIFαs)1和2、代谢性HIF调节的葡萄糖转运蛋白GLUT-1以及碳酸酐酶IX(CAIX)在非胃肠道间质瘤软组织肉瘤(非GIST STS)中的预后影响。方法。获取206例非GIST STS患者含有存活肿瘤组织的重复组织芯,并构建组织微阵列。采用免疫组织化学(IHC)评估缺氧标志物的表达。结果。在单因素分析中,GLUT-1(P < 0.001)和HIF-2α(P = 0.032)的表达与较差的疾病特异性生存(DSS)显著相关。然而,在多因素分析中,只有GLUT-1的高表达(HR 1.7,CI 95% 1.1 - 2.7,P = 0.021)是DSS较差的显著独立预后指标。结论。GLUT-1是非GIST STS中一个显著的独立阴性预后因素。
