The expression of DBR1 in ESCC tissue was found to be correlated with clinical parameters and patient survival, suggesting that abnormal RNA metabolism may play a critical role in promoting the progression of ESCC.
Aims: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies with unfavorable clinical outcomes and limited therapeutic methods. As a key enzyme in RNA metabolism, debranching RNA Lariats 1 (DBR1) is involved in intron turnover and biogenesis of noncoding RNA. Although cancer cells often show disorder of nucleic acid metabolism, it is unclear whether DBR1 has any effect on the carcinogenesis and progression of ESCC. Methods: Here we detected DBR1 expression in 112 ESCC samples by immunohistochemistry and analyzed its correlation with clinical parameters and survival. Results: DBR1 is mainly located in the nucleus of ESCC tissue. And DBR1 was associated with several malignant clinical features in patients, including tumor location (chi(2) = 9.687, P = .021), pathologic T stage (chi(2) = 5.771, P = .016), lymph node metastasis (chi(2) = 8.215, P = .004) and N classification (chi(2) = 10.066, P = .018). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that ESCC patients harboring lower DBR1 expression had a worse prognosis in comparison with those with higher DBR1 expression (P = .005). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses indicated that decreased DBR1 might act as an independent predictor of poor prognosis for ESCC patients. Conclusion: Abnormal RNA metabolism might play a critical role in promoting the progression of ESCC, and DBR1 may be a promising potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of ESCC patients.
