RESUMO

OBJECTIVES@#To develop a prediction model for postoperative prognosis in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) based on the expression of silence information regulator 2 (SIRT2).@*METHODS@#The differential expression of SIRT2 between CCA and normal tissues was analyzed using TCGA and GEO databases. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to explore potential mechanisms of SIRT2 in CCA. The expression of SIRT2 protein in CCA tissues and normal tissues (including 44 pairs of specimens) was also detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining in 89 resectable CCA patients who underwent surgical treatment in The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College between January 2016 and December 2021. The relationship between SIRT2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of CCA patients was analyzed. A survival prediction model for patients with resectable CCA was constructed with COX regression results, the calibration curve and the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to evaluate the performance of the constructed model, and the predictive power between this model and the AJCC/TNM staging system (8th Edition) was compared.@*RESULTS@#SIRT2 mRNA was overexpressed in CCA tissues as shown in TCGA and GEO databases. IHC staining showed that SIRT2 protein expression in CCA tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent non-tumor tissues. GSEA results showed that elevated SIRT2 expression may be involved in multiple metabolism-related signaling pathway, such as fatty acid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid metabolism, etc. SIRT2 expression level was related to serum triglycerides level, tumor size and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). The survival analysis results showed that the patients with higher SIRT2 expression had a significant lower overall survival (OS) than patients with lower SIRT2 expression (P<0.05). Univariate COX regression analysis suggested that pathological differentiation, clinical stage, postoperative treatment and SIRT2 expression level were associated with the prognosis of CCA patients (all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis confirmed that clinical stage and SIRT2 expression level were independent predictors of OS in postoperative CCA patients (both P<0.05). A nomogram based on SIRT2 for prediction of survival in postoperative CCA patients was constructed. The C-index of the model was 0.675, and the area under the time-dependent ROC curve (AUC) for predicting survival in the first, second, and third years was 0.879, 0.778, and 0.953, respectively, which were superior to those of AJCC/TNM staging system (8th Edition).@*CONCLUSIONS@#SIRT2 is highly expressed in CCA tissues, which is associated with poor prognosis in patients with resectable CCA. The nomogram developed based on SIRT2 may have better predictive power than the AJCC/TNM staging system (8th Edition) in prediction of survival of postoperative CCA patients.

RESUMO

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly invasive type of cancer with insidious onset and high mortality. Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is highly over-expressed in various types of tumor tissues, which contributes to cancer progression. But the role of PTBP1 in CCA has not been explored yet. In this study, we aim to investigate the function of PTBP1 in CCA. Therefore, we used publicly available data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) to evaluate the dysregulation of PTBP1 in CCA. The results showed that the PTBP1 is significantly up-regulated in CCA tissues compared to the matched non-tumor tissues (P < 0. 05). We assessed the effects of PTBP1 on the growth of CCA cell lines RBE and HuH28 by performing CCK-8 and plate colony formation assays. The results showed that overexpression of PTBP1 significantly promoted the growth (P < 0. 01) of CCA cells, whereas knockdown of PTBP1 exhibited opposite effects. Transwell and Invasion assays revealed that overexpression of PTBP1 significantly promotes the migration and invasion of CCA cells (P < 0. 001), whereas knockdown of PTBP1 exhibited opposite effects (P < 0. 001). The RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis in PTBP1-depleted cells showed that the up-regulated genes are significantly enriched in p53 signaling pathway, while the down-regulated genes are represented by cholesterol metabolism, Rho GTPase and TGF-β pathways. Then, the alternative splicing analysis revealed that inhibition of PTBP1 led to series of aberrant alternative splicing events, including several cancer-associated ones, such as splicing events within the TGF-β regulator TGIF1 and the p53 activity-correlated gene GNAS. These results indicate that PTBP1 promotes the progression of CCA likely by regulating the transcriptome alternative splicing to influence multiple cancer-associated signaling pathways.
