Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression pattern of CD155 and evaluate the prognostic value of CD155 in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Patients and methodsImmunohistochemical staining of CD155 and survival analysis were conducted on 228 nonmetastatic MIBC patients underwent radical cystectomy in cohorts from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Zhongshan Hospital. Association of CD155 gene expression with tumor stage and survival were analyzed in TCGA and GSE13507 dataset. ResultsCD155 was significantly up-regulated in MIBC compared to matched normal urothelium and majorly stained on the membrane of tumor cells. In Fudan MIBC cohort, CD155 high expression was significantly correlated with shorter recurrence-free survival (HR = 2.13, P < 0.001) and overall survival (HR = 2.49, P < 0.001). CD155 expression, T stage, and lymph node status were independent factors for predicting survival in multivariate analysis. In TCGA dataset, CD155 high expression was independently associated with shorter overall survival (HR = 1.74, P = 0.001) beyond age, T stage, and lymph node status. Further, explorative analysis in Fudan MIBC cohort showed that adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with longer recurrence-free survival and overall survival in stage III and IV disease with CD155-high tumors. ConclusionsThese findings suggest that CD155 is a robust prognostic factor and may help predict the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in MIBC.
