Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological significance and prospective molecular mechanism of RUNX family transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). The authors used immunohistochemistry (IHC), RNA-seq, and microarray data from multi-platforms to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the clinicopathological significance and molecular mechanism of RUNX2 in the occurrence and development of LUSC. RUNX2 expression was significantly higher in 16 LUSC tissues than in paired non-cancerous tissues detected by IHC (P < 0.05). RNA-seq data from the combination of TCGA and genotype-tissue expression (GTEx) revealed significantly higher expression of RUNX2 in 502 LUSC samples than in 476 non-cancer samples. The expression of RUNX2 protein was also significantly higher in pathologic T3-T4 than in T1-T2 samples (P = 0.031). The pooled standardised mean difference (SMD) for RUNX2 was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.58-1.16), including 29 microarrays from GEO and one from ArrayExpress. The co-expression network of RUNX2 revealed complicated connections between RUNX2 and 45 co-expressed genes, which were significantly clustered in pathways including ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, protein digestion and absorption, human papillomavirus infection and PI3K-Akt signalling pathway. Overexpression of RUNX2 plays an essential role in the clinical progression of LUSC.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
