Overexpression of IFITM3 predicts poor prognosis in stage IIA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after Ivor Lewis esophagectomy

Abstract: BackgroundRecent research has shown that IFITM3 plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of many malignancies. We investigated the clinicopathological variables and prognostic value of IFITM3 in stage IIA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients.MethodsImmunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to examine IFITM3 expression in tumor specimens. The relationships between IFITM3 expression and clinicopathological variables, as well as the five‐year survival and recurrence status of pati… Show more

“…The M5-T1 tumor was also specifically characterized by important changes in the content of several transmembrane proteins and components of the extracellular matrix. Among proteins belonging to the first category, IFM3 was reported to be highly expressed in invasive phenotypes of different types of cancer [ 61 , 62 ]. CSPG4, a cell surface proteoglycan, was overexpressed in a huge range of human and animal tumors, the tumor microenvironment, and cancer initiating cells [ 63 ].…”

“…In contrast to other digestive tract components, the esophagus has its own unique histological structure involving rich lymphatic drainage and anastomosis in the submucosa, which may lead to early lymph node metastasis and postoperative LMR. [28][29][30] In 1991, Yoshinaka et al reported that approximately 47% of ESCC patients experienced lymphatic metastasis when the submucosa (T1b) was invaded. 31 Evidence indicates that postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy could significantly improve the five-year survival rate in advanced tumors, but adjuvant chemotherapy has not been demonstrated to be advantageous in early stage ESCC because of significant adverse effects.…”

“…79 More recently, 5-year survival rates for stage IIA ESCC patients with high IFITM3 expression were reported to be 78.7%, versus 64.9% in those with low IFITM3 expression. 80 Thus, IFITM3 has less of an influence on 5-year survival rates in stage IIA ESCC patients than in pN0 patients, suggesting it could only be a predictor for LNM in pN0 ESCC. Knockdown of IFITM3 expression significantly suppressed gastric cancer cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro , arrested cells at the G0/G1 phase, and reduced numbers in S phase of the cell cycle.…”
