Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy that is associated with a dismal prognosis. Pan-genomic studies have demonstrated the involvement of and genes in adrenocortical tumorigenesis. Our aims were to evaluate the protein expression of and in a cohort of 82 adults with ACC and to establish their prognostic value. Two pathologists analyzed immuno-stained slides of a tissue microarray. The low protein expression of and was associated with a decrease in overall survival (OS) ( = 0.045, = 0.012, respectively). The Cox regression for protein expression of >1.5 showed a hazard ratio (HR) for OS of 0.521 (95% CI 0.273-0.997; = 0.049) when compared with ≤1.5; for expression >2, the HR for OS was 0.441 (95% CI, 0.229-0.852; = 0.015) when compared with ≤2. High and protein expressions were associated with optimistic recurrence-free survival (RFS) ( = 0.027 and = 0.005, respectively). The Cox regression of RFS showed an HR of 0.332 (95%CI, 0.111-0.932) for expression >2.7 ( = 0.037), and an HR of 0.333 (95%CI, 0.140-0.790) for expression >2 ( = 0.013). In conclusion, low protein expression of and are negative prognostic markers of ACC; however, different cohorts should be evaluated to validate these findings.
肾上腺皮质癌 (ACC) 是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,预后不良。泛基因组研究表明 和 基因参与了肾上腺皮质肿瘤的发生。我们的目的是评估 82 例成人 ACC 患者的 和 蛋白表达,并确定其预后价值。两位病理学家分析了组织微阵列的免疫染色切片。 和 蛋白低表达与总生存(OS)降低相关( = 0.045, = 0.012)。 蛋白表达 >1.5 的 Cox 回归分析显示 OS 的危险比(HR)为 0.521(95%CI 0.273-0.997; = 0.049),与 ≤1.5 相比;对于 表达>2,OS 的 HR 为 0.441(95%CI,0.229-0.852; = 0.015),与 ≤2 相比。高 和 蛋白表达与乐观的无复发生存(RFS)相关( = 0.027 和 = 0.005)。RFS 的 Cox 回归分析显示, 表达>2.7 的 HR 为 0.332(95%CI,0.111-0.932)( = 0.037), 表达>2 的 HR 为 0.333(95%CI,0.140-0.790)( = 0.013)。总之, 和 蛋白低表达是 ACC 的负预后标志物;然而,应该评估不同的队列来验证这些发现。
