Cripto-1 (CR-1) is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-CFC protein family, which is involved in tumor pathogenesis.
This study aimed to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum CR-1 level in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Serum specimens from 312 NSCLC patients and 120 healthy controls were collected. Serum CR-1 level was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
The serum CR-1 level was significantly elevated in NSCLC patients compared with healthy controls (P < .001). Higher serum CR-1 level was associated with advanced TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. With a cutoff value of 1.67 ng/mL, CR-1 showed a good diagnostic performance for NSCLC. Kaplan-Meier log rank analysis revealed that the low serum CR-1 patients had a better overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared with high CR-1 patients (P = .004 and .001, respectively). Further univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that serum CR-1 level was an independent risk factor of prognosis of NSCLC patients.
Our study suggests that serum CR-1 level is a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker for NSCLC patients.
Cripto-1(CR-1)是表皮生长因子(EGF)-CFC蛋白家族的成员,参与肿瘤发病机制。
本研究旨在探讨血清CR-1水平在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中的诊断和预后价值。
收集312例NSCLC患者和120例健康对照者的血清标本。采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测血清CR-1水平。
与健康对照相比,NSCLC患者血清CR-1水平显著升高(P <.001)。较高的血清CR-1水平与晚期TNM分期、淋巴结转移和远处转移相关。以1.67 ng/mL为临界值,CR-1对NSCLC具有良好的诊断性能。Kaplan-Meier对数秩分析显示,血清CR-1水平低的患者与血清CR-1水平高的患者相比,总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)更好(分别为P =.004和.001)。进一步进行单因素和多因素Cox回归分析表明,血清CR-1水平是NSCLC患者预后的独立危险因素。
我们的研究表明,血清CR-1水平是NSCLC患者有用的诊断和预后标志物。
