Objective To investigate the expression of SLC35A2 and PFDN2 in breast cancer and their relationship with clinical indicators and prognosis.Methods TCGA database and TIMER 2.0 database were used to analyze the differences of SLC35A2 and PFDN2 expression in breast cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues;K-M database was used to create the survival curves of patients in the high and low expression groups of the two.qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of SLC35A2 and PFDN2 in the cancerous and paracancerous tissues,and the expression differences,the relationship between their expression levels and the clinical observation indexes were statistically analyzed,and the independent prognostic factors of breast cancer were screened out;K-M survival analysis was used to compare the prognostic differences between the groups and create the survival curves.Results The expression levels of SLC35A2 and PFDN2 in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in paracancerous tissues according to the results of biopsy,qRT-PCR and immuno-histochemistry,and the expression levels of SLC35A2 were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis,while the expression of PFDN2 was significantly correlated with the diameter of the tumor and the metastasis of lymph nodes,and the expression of SLC35A2 and PFDN2 was an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer.patients had the worst prognosis.Conclusion The expression of SLC35A2 and PFDN2 in breast cancer tissues was closely related to clinical indicators and prognosis of breast cancer,and could be used as a potential target for breast cancer treatment.

Objective:To investigate the expression of nuclear matrix protein 4 (NMP4) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its relationship with clinicopathological features and survival prognosis of patients.Methods:The clinical data of 100 HCC patients who were treated with radical resection of liver cancer in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from July 1, 2014 to July 1, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 63 males and 37 females, aged (58.5±10.4) years old. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of NMP4 protein in HCC cancer tissue and the corresponding adjacent normal tissue. According to the expression of NMP4 in HCC tissues, 100 patients were divided into two groups: the NMP4-positive expression group ( n=62) and the NMP4-negative expression group ( n=32). Univariate analysis was performed on the relationship between NMP4 expression and clinical pathological features as well as overall survival of HCC patients. Cox multivariate analysis was performed on the factors influencing postoperative prognosis of HCC patients. Results:Immunohistochemistry results showed that NMP4 was primarily expressed in the nucleus, the positive expression rate of NMP4 in HCC tissues was higher than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues [62.0% (62/100) vs. 8.0%(8/100)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=2.12, P=0.003). Univariate analysis revealed that the overall survival of HCC patients was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, tumor length, BCLC stage, number of tumor foci, vascular tumor thrombus and expression of NMP4 (all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis revealed that low differentiation, high BCLC stage (stage C), number of tumor foci (≥3), and positive expression of NMP4 were independent risk factors affecting postoperative survival and recurrence-free survival of HCC patients. The median overall survival and median recurrence-free survival of HCC patients in the NMP4-positive expression group were 22.3 months and 11.5 months, respectively. In contrast, that in the NMP4-negative expression group were 40.6 months and 19.4 months, respectively. The cumulative survival rate and recurrence-free survival rate of HCC patients in the NMP4-positive expression group were lower than those in the NMP4-negative expression group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Positive NMP4 expression was closely correlated with malignant biological progression and poor prognosis of HCC patients.
