PG - 102540 LID - S0196-0709(20)30231-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.amjoto.2020.102540 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the expression of NRP-2 and explore its role in Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: NRP-2 expression in 70 primary LSCC tissue specimens were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinicopathological parameters and patients survival rate. Additionally, 9 paired LSCC tissues were evaluated for NRP-2 expression by Western blotting. RESULTS: The Western blotting indicated that NRP-2 expression levels in LSCC were significantly higher than those in the paraneoplastic tissues (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry staining revealed that NRP-2 was detected in all primary tumor samples, moreover, high expression of NRP-2 was significantly correlated with TNM stage (P < 0.05), clinical stage (P < 0.05), histological classification (P < 0.05), lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05) and recurrence (P = 0.001). Survival curves determined by the Kaplan-Meier method showed that high expression of NRP-2 can reduce overall survival (both group P < 0.05). Then we combined the NRP-2 expression and lymph node status, and Kaplan-Meier survival showed patients with high expression of NRP-2 or lymph node metastasis (+) had both shorter disease-free and overall survival than others (both P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis confirmed that histological grade (P = 0.045), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.020) and high expression of NRP-2 (P = 0.033) were statistically significant, independent predictor of prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: NRP-2 may contribute to LSCC progression and represents as a novel prognostic indicator as well as a potential therapeutic target for LSCC. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
