Abstract:
Purpose To detect the expression of PP1A and GSDME and the abundance of CD8+T lymphocytes in colorectal cancer,and to explore the correlation and clinical significance of PP1A and GSDME mediated pyroptosis.Methods GEPIA da-tabase was applied to analyze the mRNA expression of PP1A and GSDME in colorectal cancer and normal tissues.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of PP1A in colorectal cancer and the corresponding normal mucosa.Immunohisto-chemistry was applied to detect the expression of PP1A and GS-DME and CD8+T lymphocytes abundance in 107 colorectal car-cinomas and normal mucosa adjacent to the carcinomas.Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between PP1A,GSDME and CD8+T cells abundance.Results The GEPIA database search showed that mRNA expression of PP1A and GSDME in colorectal cancer differed compared to normal tissues(P＜0.05).Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression of PP1A in colorectal cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous tissues(0.937 vs 0.643,P＜0.001).Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of PP1A in colorectal cancer tissues was signifi-cantly higher than that in normal mucosa(P＜0.05).The ex-pression of GSDME in cancer tissue was closely correlated with patients'age,clinical stage and mismatch repair proteins(P＜0.05),and the distribution of CD8+T cells in the cancer infil-tration front was significantly higher than that in the normal mu-cosa,and the distribution of CD8+T cells in the cancer was cor-related with pT stage,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis.Spearman correlation analysis showed that PP1A was negatively correlated with GSDME expression(r=-0.196,P＜0.05).The overall survival PP1A-positive colorectal cancer patients was worse than that of PP1A-negative patients(P＜0.05),and the prognosis of patients was correlated with the degree of differentia-tion,lymph node metastasis,pT stage and clinical stage.Posi-tive expression of PP1A,degree of differentiation,clinical stage,pT stage and lymph node metastasis are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.Conclusion PP1A is highly expressed in colorectal cancer and negatively correlated with GSDME-mediated cell pyroptosis,and the differ-ential expression of both is closely related to the progression and prognosis of colorectal cancer,which can be used as a potential indicator for judgment of the prognosis of colorectal cancer pa-tients.The differential distribution of CD8+T cells may be asso-ciated with GSDME-mediated cell pyroptosis and tumor develop-ment.
