Abstract
Purpose: We aimed to elucidate the functions and clinical relevance of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in resected lung adenocarcinoma.
Methods: The protein expression of SGLT2 in tumor samples from 199 patients with lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed by immunohistochemistry, and the protein expression, clinical variables, and survival outcomes were compared.
Results: The median SGLT2 expression was significantly higher in advanced-stage and more aggressive adenocarcinomas. Age ≥70 (p < 0.01), BI ≥600 (p < 0.01), PRDX4 <25 (p < 0.01), and SGLT2 ≥12% (p = 0.03) were significant factors for RFS in multivariate analysis. Significant differences were observed in the RFS rates of the groups divided using the cutoff value of SGLT2 ≥12% (5-year RFS: 72.6% vs. 90%) (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: The expression of SGLT2 was more frequently detected in advanced-stage and more aggressive adenocarcinomas with aggressive biological behavior than in their counterparts. The survival analysis revealed that the strong expression of SGLT2 was associated with poorer RFS. The SGLT2 expression predicts postoperative recurrence in lung adenocarcinoma patients.
期刊介绍:
Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
