Expression of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) and its prognostic significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

چکیده
Objective: To explore the expression of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (UCH-L1) in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as well as its clinical significance. Methods: 215 cases of ESCC were evaluated by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry for UCH-L1 expression and its clinical significance and prognostic value was investigated. Results: The positive rate of UCH-L1 was 45.6% in ESCC. There was a significant correlation between the expression of UCH-L1 and lymph node metastasis (P=0.023) and tumor stage (P=0.006). KaplanMeier analysis showed that patients with UCH-L1 positive expression had shorter survival duration than those without UCH-L1 expression. Cox regression model revealed that UCH-L1 was an independent prognostic factor for ESCC. Conclusions: Our results showed that UCH-L1 expression significantly increased with the progression of ESCC, implying the importance of UCH-L1 as a potential biomarker in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that is highly expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous system and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Aberrant function of UCH-L1 has been associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, UCH-L1 exhibits a variable expression p...
متن کاملUbiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase L1 in Tumorigenesis
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1, aka PGP9.5) is an abundant, neuronal deubiquitinating enzyme that has also been suggested to possess E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity and/or stabilize ubiquitin monomers in vivo. Recent evidence implicates dysregulation of UCH-L1 in the pathogenesis and progression of human cancers. Although typically only expressed in neurons, high levels o...

Ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) belongs to the UCH proteases family that deubiquitinates ubiquitin-protein conjugates in the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Previous research showed that UCH-L1 was expressed in mouse retinal cells and testicular germ cells, and its function was associated with apoptosis. But it is still unclear whether UCH-L1 is concerned with apoptosis in tumor c...
متن کاملPositive Reciprocal Regulation of Ubiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase L1 and β-Catenin/TCF Signaling
Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are involved in the regulation of distinct critical cellular processes. Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH L1) has been linked to several neurological diseases as well as human cancer, but the physiological targets and the regulation of UCH L1 expression in vivo have been largely unexplored. Here we demonstrate that UCH L1 up-regulates beta-catenin/TCF signal...
متن کاملRegulation of synaptic structure by ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1.
Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that is selectively and abundantly expressed in the brain, and its activity is required for normal synaptic function. Here, we show that UCH-L1 functions in maintaining normal synaptic structure in hippocampal neurons. We found that UCH-L1 activity is rapidly upregulated by NMDA receptor activation, which leads to an increa...
