Abstract
Background: Cysteine and Glycine Rich Protein 1 (CSRP1) belongs to the cysteine-rich protein family, which contains a unique double-zinc finger motif and is important for development and cellular differentiation. Abnormal expression of CSRP1 was reported within several malignancies such as prostate cancer and acute myeloid leukemia. Here, we explored function of CSRP1 within colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) for the first time.
Methods: The mRNA levels of CSRP1 in COADs were obtained from TCGA datasets. CSRP1 protein expressions in COADs were tested via immunohistochemistry staining. Patients' prognosis was evaluated using both univariate analysis and multivariate analysis. Two human COAD originated cancer cell lines, Caco-2, and HT-29, were used for cellular experiments including shRNA knockdown, proliferation assay, and migration assay. In vivo model was established using nude mice xenografts to further validate the role of CSRP1 in COAD progression.
Results: The mRNA levels of CSRP1 are elevated in COAD specimens from patients with more advanced tumor stages and higher Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) levels. In addition, higher CSRP1 mRNA level indicates worse COAD prognosis. Consistently, higher CSRP1 protein expression is correlated with worse overall survival according to both univariate and multivariate analysis, indicating that CSRP1 is a new COAD prognostic factor. Furthermore, COAD cells transfected with CSRP1-shRNAs exhibit attenuated proliferation and migration capacities. Finally, growth of xenografts originated from CSRP1-knockdown cells is inhibited comparing to the control ones.
Conclusions: Expression of CSRP1 is positively correlated with COAD progression, which can promote tumor growth and migration. Higher CSRP1 can is a novel independent prognostic factor of COAD.
期刊介绍：
Genetics Research is a key forum for original research on all aspects of human and animal genetics, reporting key findings on genomes, genes, mutations and molecular interactions, extending out to developmental, evolutionary, and population genetics as well as ethical, legal and social aspects. Our aim is to lead to a better understanding of genetic processes in health and disease. The journal focuses on the use of new technologies, such as next generation sequencing together with bioinformatics analysis, to produce increasingly detailed views of how genes function in tissues and how these genes perform, individually or collectively, in normal development and disease aetiology. The journal publishes original work, review articles, short papers, computational studies, and novel methods and techniques in research covering humans and well-established genetic organisms. Key subject areas include medical genetics, genomics, human evolutionary and population genetics, bioinformatics, genetics of complex traits, molecular and developmental genetics, Evo-Devo, quantitative and statistical genetics, behavioural genetics and environmental genetics. The breadth and quality of research make the journal an invaluable resource for medical geneticists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians and researchers involved in genetic basis of diseases, evolutionary and developmental studies.
