Description
Abstract
Background. Gastric cancer is one of the
most lethal malignancies worldwide with surgery as the
only curative therapy. However, postoperative overall
survival of gastric cancer is far from satisfactory
although significant improvement has been made in
adjuvant therapies. Gastric cancer is characterized as
highly heterogeneous and illustrating the molecular
mechanisms is invaluable for both identification of novel
prognostic biomarkers and development of therapeutic
drugs. Here we aimed to investigate the participation of
Anoctamin 6 (ANO6) in gastric adenocarcinoma.
Methods. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was
used to explore the expression pattern of ANO6 in tumor
tissues from gastric adenocarcinoma patients (n=108).
Clinicopathological data was subjected to Kaplan-Meier
survival and Cox multivariate analyses to evaluate
prognostic predictors. Overexpression and silencing
procedures were performed on gastric cancer cell lines to
investigate the functional mechanisms of ANO6 in
regulating tumor development.
Results. Higher ANO6 expression showed a positive
correlation with advanced tumor stage of gastric cancer.
Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that
ANO6 was an independent prognostic factor for overall
survival of gastric cancer. An in vitro study
demonstrated that ANO6 can promote cell proliferation
while silencing ANO6 significantly downregulated cell
viability.
Conclusion. High ANO6 expression in gastric
cancer indicates poor clinical outcomes, and ANO6 may
act as a potential target for novel therapy development
targeting gastric cancer.
