Background technology
The cancer of the esophagus is one of malignant tumour common in world wide, and China is that Incidence of esophageal cancer and the death rate are highest
Country, annual new cases 47.8 ten thousand, death 37.5 ten thousand, incidence and the death rate occupy the third of all kinds of malignant tumours respectively
Position and the 4th.China's Incidence of Esophageal Cancer is concentrated mainly on several districts occurred frequently, the Taihang Mountain that wherein Henan, Shanxi, Hebei have a common boundary
Area's incidence highest.Different from western countries, the histological type 90% of China's cancer of the esophagus is squamous cell carcinoma, Most patients
Middle and advanced stage is in when making a definite diagnosis, progression of the disease is fast, poor prognosis, 5 years survival rates only 10% or so.Esophageal carcinoma therapy is still with hand at present
Based on art combination chemicotherapy, but to being unable to the patient of early detection often without radical-ability operative chance, while to relapse and metastasis patient
The general curative effect of complex treatment is still unsatisfactory.Compared with other tumor types, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Esophageal squamous
Cell carcinoma, ESCC) early diagnosis marker and the target spot of targeted therapy very limit to, lacking can be for reference
International standard.Therefore, the occurrence and development mechanism for furtheing investigate the cancer of the esophagus, for the molecular marker and system of clinical discovery early diagnosis
Fixed effective clinical intervention measure seems most important.
One universals of malignant tumour are that significant change has occurred in the glycosylation modified of cell.Glycosylation often participates in
Folding, polymerization, maturation and the transport of protein peptide chain play an important role to cell and protein function adjusting aspect.Swollen
In the generation of tumor, evolution, the glycosylation modified of protein can change with disease process, to influence tumour cell
The processes such as adherency, invasion, transfer.The glycoprotein of tumor cell surface exception also exists frequently as the marker of tumour.Therefore,
Glycosylated abnormal change feature is for the early diagnosis of tumour, monitoring the process, prognosis evaluation in searching cancer of the esophagus Carcinogenesis
And the searching of therapy target can provide important information.
Abnormal fucosylation and tumor development are closely related:Fucosylation is glycoprotein, the modification of glycolipid oligosaccharides
In most common modification mode, GDP-L- fucoses are unique donors of fucosylation, synthesis remedy synthesis and from the beginning
Synthesize two kinds of approach(Fig. 1):The former passes through L-fucose kinases and GDP-L- fucose pyrophosphorylations by free L-fucose
Two steps of enzyme catalyze and synthesize;The latter is that GDP-D mannoses are changed into GDP-L- fucoses by three steps of enzymatic reactions, respectively
Including -3,5 isomerase -4- reductases of GDP mannose -4,6- dehydratases (GMDS) and GDP-4- ketone -6-de-oxy-L-mannose
(TSTA3).Wherein, de novo synthesis has synthesized in human body 90% GDP-L- fucoses, becomes the conjunction of GDP-L- fucose biologies
At main source.Fucosylation also needs to participation and the fucosyltransferase (FUT) of GDP fucose transporters in cell
Catalysis.
Oneself warp of the relationship of abnormal fucosylation and tumour becomes the research hotspot of diagnosis of malignant tumor and treatment.Document report
The abnormal main mechanism close with relation between tumor of the fucosylation in road has:1. fucosido, which may participate in, constitutes certain important adherency
The sugar chain structure of molecule, it is in close relations with metastases.Composition as directly participated in Lewis antigenic determinants, Lewis antigens
It is the binding partner of selectin, the effect in metastases has gained public acceptance;In integrin and E-cadherin molecules
The reduction of core fucosylation and the scarce forfeiture for such as leading to its function, passing through influences cell-ECM and cell-ECM outer room
The interaction of matter causes the variation for invading transfer ability.2. being influenced by EGF-R ELISA (EGFR) fucosylation
The generation of tumour.EGFR has a potential N glycosylation sites, wherein more than half there are fucosylation modification, N glycosylations inhibit
Agent is substantially reduced the combination of EGF and EGFR, the affinity higher of the EGFR and EGF of core fucosylation.3. fucosylation
It is abnormal related to tumor immune escape.Moriwaki etc. has found that GMDS is mutated in colon cancer cell, leads to cell fucosylation
Level declines, to escape natural kill(NK)Tumor necrosin relative death inducing is resisted in cell-mediated immunosurveillance
The Apoptosis of ligand (TRAIL) induction;The presence of surface sLex promotes the killing of NK cells to live in Leukemia K562 cell
Property.There are many abnormal fucosylation indexs to be applied to clinical practice at present, such as:Cell surface fucosylation LeYOligosaccharides
It is a tumor associated antigen, is high expression in the breast cancer of many epithelial origins, oophoroma, liver cancer and intestinal cancer, currently, needle
To the monoclonal antibody of the antigen(IGN-311 and hu3s193)As the potential medicine of epithelial origin immunotherapy of tumors
Object, and enter II clinical trial phases;The alpha-fetoprotein of core fucosylation(AFP-L3)Liver cancer is had more compared to AFP
There is the diagnostic value of specificity;The haptoglobin of fucosylation(HPT)Level is in oophoroma, lung cancer, breast cancer and pancreas
It is increased in the malignant tumours such as cancer, becomes the molecular marker of kinds of tumors.
TSTA3 genes are also known as FX, P35B, and coding albumen is the key that GDP-L- fucose de novo formation rate-limiting enzymes, and
GDP-L- fucoses are unique donors of fucosylation(Fig. 1).It is less that the gene studies report in tumour.Colorectal cancer,
There are the height expression of TSTA3 genes in the tumours such as hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, compared with colorectal carcinoma cell line sw480 in situ,
High expression TSTA3 in metastatic cancer cell system sw620, the expression with cell SLea is positively correlated, and it is interior to enhance tumour-
Epithelial Cell Adhesion;The missing of fucosylation can lead to intestinal inflammatory in TSTA3 knock out mice bodies, and then cause galandular epithelium
The generation of dysplasia and gland cancer, the process are related to the downward of the inactivation and downstream Hes1 of Notch accesses;TSTA3 is in breast cancer
High expression in tissue is closely related with TNM stage and poor prognosis, can be as independent prognostic factor, in breast cancer
The knockout of TSTA3 can cause the isogenic notable downward of CXCR4, CXCL12, MMP9, related to the decline of cancer cell invasion ability;
And the comparative study in 419 crowds such as Hu finds that TSTA3 is deposited in the peripheral blood and cancerous tissue of early stage patients with lung adenocarcinoma
In increasing for expression quantity, it may be possible to the early diagnosis marker of non-small cell lung cancer.
TSTA3 genes may play critical oncogene effect in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Early period pair 14 and 90 ESCC are swollen
Tumor and full-length genome and full sequencing of extron group have been carried out respectively with normal tissue (I phase 51, III phase 53), based on list
It is found in the analysis of nucleotide diversity (SNVs) and small fragment insertion/deletion (Indels), fucose/mannose metabolic pathway exists
The frequency of mutation in I phase case was significantly higher than for III phase, and the early stage that the variation of the access may take part in the cancer of the esophagus is prompted to occur,
The rate-limiting enzyme of the middle TSTA3 gene codes access, the frequency of mutation 2% are missense mutation;Meanwhile based on copy number variation
(CNAs) analysis finds that the regions 8q24 where TSTA3 genes have the copy number significantly and repeated in ESCC in I phase case
Amplification.Part ESCC relevant group sequencing results are published in Cell periodical Am J Hum Genet(It is chose as " Best of
AJHG 2014 to 2015”)And on GigaScience magazines.
On this basis, Primary Study has been carried out to the function of TSTA3 genes.In two plants of oesophaguses of KYSE510 and KYSE150
The proliferation of low TSTA3 gene pairs cancer cell is struck in squamous cell carcinoma without influence, but can significantly inhibit the invasion and migration of cancer cell
Ability;On the contrary, the overexpression of TSTA3 genes can significantly increase the invasion migration of cell while not influencing cancer cell multiplication
Ability (p<0.05)。
To sum up, TSTA3 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are closely related:Based on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and pairing cancer beside organism's full-length genome and outer aobvious
Subgroup sequencing finds the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma related gene that TSTA3 is candidate, and the albumen of its coding is logical for fucose/sweet dew glycometabolism
The rate-limiting enzyme on road, the frequency of mutation 2% are missense mutation;Genomics sequencing result finds that fucose/sweet dew glycometabolism is logical
The frequency of mutation of the road in I phase case was significantly higher than for III phase, prompted the variation of the access that may take part in the early stage hair of the cancer of the esophagus
It is raw, meanwhile, the analysis based on copy number variation (CNAs) is found, the regions 8q24 have the copy number significantly and repeated in ESCC
Amplification, region overlay TSTA3 genes.Prompt TSTA3 genes and cancer of the esophagus occurrence and development closely related.But TSTA3 with
There is not been reported for the relationship of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma occurrence and development, is also had not been reported with the relationship of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma prognosis.The present invention is
It determinesTSTA3The relationship of expression and patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma clinical prognosis inquires into it and predicts esophageal squamous cell as molecular marker
The application value of cancer patient's prognosis.
