Abstract
Background: Dynamin 2 (DNM2) involved in tumor progression in various malignancies.
Objective: For the first time, we evaluated DNM2 expression pattern, its association with clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes in RCC subtypes.
Methods: We evaluated the DNM2 expression pattern in RCC tissues as well as adjacent normal tissue using immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray (TMA) slides.
Results: Our findings revealed increased DNM2 expression in RCC samples rather than in adjacent normal tissues. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between cytoplasmic expression of DNM2 among subtypes of RCC in terms of intensity of staining, percentage of positive tumor cells, and H-score (P= 0.024, 0.049, and 0.009, respectively). The analysis revealed that increased cytoplasmic expression of DNM2 in ccRCC is associated with worse OS (log rank: P= 0.045), DSS (P= 0.049), and PFS (P= 0.041). Furthermore, cytoplasmic expression of DNM2 was found as an independent prognostic factor affecting DSS and PFS in multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: Our results indicated that DNM2 cytoplasmic expression is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor outcomes. DNM2 could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in patients with ccRCC.
期刊介绍:
Concentrating on molecular biomarkers in cancer research, Cancer Biomarkers publishes original research findings (and reviews solicited by the editor) on the subject of the identification of markers associated with the disease processes whether or not they are an integral part of the pathological lesion.
The disease markers may include, but are not limited to, genomic, epigenomic, proteomics, cellular and morphologic, and genetic factors predisposing to the disease or indicating the occurrence of the disease. Manuscripts on these factors or biomarkers, either in altered forms, abnormal concentrations or with abnormal tissue distribution leading to disease causation will be accepted.
