PCSK6 is reported to regulate proliferation and tumor progression in breast and prostate cancer, and affect sodium homeostasis. The purpose of this study is to determine the prognostic value of CNPs for NMIBC. To our knowledge, this is the first report to confirm CNPs as a potential biomarker for assessing the prognosis of NMIBC. METHODS Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was performed to search for candidate CNPs related to NMIBC susceptibility. Next, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was carried out to evaluate for CNPs related to patient's outcome in 190 NMIBC. RESULTS Eleven CNPs were associated with NMIBC risk in array CGH. FAM81A and PCSK6 copy number according to those CNPs examined showed significant relationship with recurrence and disease progression in NMIBC. Patients with pT1 stage had significantly lower PCSK6 copy number than those with pTa (P = 0.0258). Interestingly, patients with lower PCSK6 copy number had significantly higher sodium levels in the blood than those with higher PCSK6 copy number (P = 0.0144). Univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that tumor grade (P = 0.0073), pT stage (P = 0.0086), Cytology (P = 0.0045), FAM81A (P = 0.0173), and PCSK6 (P = 0.0011) copy number had a significant effect on progression-free survival. In multivariate analyses, PCSK6 copy number was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival (P = 0.0380, risk ratio 2.25, 95% confidence interval 1.05-5.03). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that PCSK6 CNP is potentially a new tumor marker for estimating the prognosis of NMIBC. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e567 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Yoshiaki Yamamoto More articles by this author Yutaka Suehiro More articles by this author Yoshihisa Kawai More articles by this author Ryo Inoue More articles by this author Hiroaki Matsumoto More articles by this author Hideyasu Matsuyama More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
