Although many studies have investigated the relationship between cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the prognostic value of CK-19 in HCC remains inconclusive.
Eligible studies were sought in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Wanfang databases. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
17 studies with 2943 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results showed that CK-19 over-expression was significantly associated with overall survival (OS) (HR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.32-1.93, univariate analysis; HR=2.25, 95% CI: 1.79-2.83, multivariate analysis) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.35-2.10, univariate analysis; HR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.54-2.53, multivariate analysis). Meanwhile, CK-19 over-expression was also correlated with decreased 1-year OS rate (OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.21-0.50), 5-year OS rate (OR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.14-0.87) and 1-year DFS rate (OR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.34-0.76), but not with 5-year DFS rate (OR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.35-1.10). These results suggested that CK-19 over-expression was significantly associated with poor survival rate and early tumor recurrence rate in HCC patients.
CK-19 can serve as an indicator of poor prognosis as well as a novel target for treatment in HCC.
尽管许多研究已经调查了细胞角蛋白19(CK - 19)与肝细胞癌(HCC)之间的关系,但CK - 19在HCC中的预后价值仍无定论。
在PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、Cochrane图书馆和万方数据库中检索符合条件的研究。计算合并风险比(HRs)和比值比(ORs)以及相应的95%置信区间(CIs)。
本荟萃分析纳入了17项研究,共2943例患者。荟萃分析结果显示,CK - 19过表达与总生存期(OS)显著相关(HR = 1.60,95% CI:1.32 - 1.93,单因素分析;HR = 2.25,95% CI:1.79 - 2.83,多因素分析)和无病生存期(DFS)(HR = 1.68,95% CI:1.35 - 2.10,单因素分析;HR = 1.97,95% CI:1.54 - 2.53,多因素分析)。同时,CK - 19过表达还与1年总生存率降低(OR = 0.32,95% CI:0.21 - 0.50)、5年总生存率降低(OR = 0.44,95% CI:0.14 - 0.87)和1年无病生存率降低(OR = 0.51,95% CI:0.34 - 0.76)相关,但与5年无病生存率无关(OR = 0.62,95% CI:0.35 - 1.10)。这些结果表明,CK - 19过表达与HCC患者的低生存率和早期肿瘤复发率显著相关。
CK - 19可作为HCC预后不良的指标以及一种新的治疗靶点。
