Abstract:
:5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzes the first step of arachidonic acid metabolism to inflammatory mediator leukotrienes. The present study assessed 5-LO expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissue specimens for associations with clinicopathological and survival data from patients, then explored 5-LO activity in ESCC cells in vitro. 5-LO expression was detected in tissue microarrays containing 297 ESCC samples using immunohistochemistry. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to analyze the survival significance of 5-LO expression and relative risk was evaluated using the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. Cultured tumor cells were subjected to gene transfection, western blotting, and cell migration and proliferation assays. 5-LO protein was primarily expressed in normal cell cytoplasm and/or membrane, and never in the whole cytoplasm, whereas 5-LO was expressed diffusely in ESCC tissues with nearly homogeneous whole-cytoplasm staining. 5-LO expression was significantly associated with tumor regional lymph node metastasis (P=0.013) and pTNM stage (P=0.004). 5-LO expression was associated with poor overall survival (P=0.029). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that 5-LO overexpression was an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients (P=0.041). Furthermore, the inhibition of 5-LO expression reduced ESCC cell viability and migration in vitro. These data provide further evidence that the upregulation of 5-LO expression is associated with advanced stages of disease and poor ESCC prognosis, and that 5-LO expression may independently predict overall survival in patients with ESCC. The inhibition of 5-LO expression reduced ESCC malignant behavior in vitro.
