Previous results have indicated that CXCR4 is an oncogene in several types of human tumors including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the correlation between CXCR4 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of RCC remains unclear.
We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively evaluate the association of CXCR4 expression with the incidence of RCC and clinicopathological characteristics. Final analysis of 1203 patients with RCC from 14 eligible studies was performed.
We observed that CXCR4 expression is significantly higher in RCC than in normal renal tissue, and the pooled OR from 7 studies including 435 RCC and 297 normal renal tissues was OR = 46.23, 95% CI = 7.18-297.69, p < 0.0001. CXCR4 expression is not associated with gender status and clinical stages. However, CXCR4 expression was significantly associated with pathological grades, metastatic status, and overall survival in patients with RCC.
These results indicate that CXCR4 expression is associated with increased risk, progression, and prognosis for patients with RCC. The determination of CXCR4 expression may provide a biomarker for tumor risk evaluation, progression, and prognosis of patients with RCC.
先前的研究结果表明,趋化因子受体 4(CXCR4)是包括肾细胞癌(RCC)在内的多种人类肿瘤的致癌基因。然而,CXCR4 表达与 RCC 的临床病理特征之间的相关性尚不清楚。
我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以定量评估 CXCR4 表达与 RCC 发生率和临床病理特征的相关性。对来自 14 项合格研究的 1203 例 RCC 患者进行了最终分析。
我们观察到,与正常肾组织相比,RCC 中 CXCR4 的表达明显升高,来自 7 项研究(包括 435 例 RCC 和 297 例正常肾组织)的汇总 OR 为 OR=46.23,95%CI=7.18-297.69,p<0.0001。CXCR4 表达与性别状态和临床分期无关。然而,CXCR4 表达与 RCC 患者的病理分级、转移状态和总生存率显著相关。
这些结果表明,CXCR4 表达与 RCC 患者的风险增加、进展和预后相关。CXCR4 表达的测定可能为 RCC 患者的肿瘤风险评估、进展和预后提供生物标志物。
