Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression of octamer-binding transcription factor 4(OCT4) in glioma tissues and its relationship with prognosis of patients.Methods:From March 2015 to June 2016, 168 patients with glioma and 72 normal brain tissues in the Second People's Hospital of Nanyang were collected.The expression levels of OCT4A and OCT4B were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), and the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of glioma patients was analyzed.Results:The relative expressions of OCT4A(2.28±0.85) and OCT4B(2.84±1.29) in 168 glioma tissues were significantly higher than those in normal tissues [(1.05±0.41), (1.18±0.46)] ( t=11.649, 14.798, all P<0.01), and there was a positive correlation between OCT4A and OCT4B in glioma tissues( r=0.682, P=0.001). The expression levels of OCT4A and OCT4B in glioma patients with different pathological stages, pathological types, degree of differentiation and depth of invasion had statistically significant differences( t=14.695, 11.309, 16.038, 13.721, 17.216, 15.083, 14.871, 15.417, all P<0.01). Taking the median value of OCT4A and OCT4B mRNA expression as the cutoff value, the patients were divided into low expression group and high expression group.The overall survival of patients with low expression of OCT4A and OCT4B was (24.17±3.41)months and (25.30±4.16)months, which were significantly longer than (15.80±2.93)months and (15.94±3.07)months of high expression patients, the differences were statistically significant( t=15.639, 16.143, all P=0.000). Cox regression model analysis showed that the expression levels of OCT4A and OCT4B were independent factors affecting the prognosis of glioma patients.The hazard ratio (95% CI) was 1.731(0.804-3.181) and 1.605(0.795-2.942), respectively. Conclusion:The expression levels of OCT4A and OCT4B in glioma tissues are abnormally elevated, which is closely related to the severity of the disease.The patients with high expression of OCT4A and OCT4B have a shorter overall survival period, which has a certain predictive value for the treatment effect and prognosis of glioma.
