CD133 and Ki-67 expression is associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumor prognosis.

Abstract:

:CD133+ tumor cells have a greater potential ability for tumorigenesis, proliferation, invasion and metastasis compared with CD133- tumor cells. Ki-67 is associated with cell proliferation in various tumors and has a markedly positive correlation with the prognosis of patients. However, there are a limited number of studies that have investigated the association between the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and the two markers. The present study aimed to investigate CD133 and Ki-67 expression in GISTs and to explore their clinicopathological significance in the prognosis of patients with GISTs. A total of 111 GIST patients from the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital were retrospectively followed up and immunohistochemistry was used to detect CD133, Ki-67 and CD117 expression in the tumor samples. The survival rates of the patients were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test, χ2 test and Cox's proportional hazards model were used to determine the association between CD133, Ki-67, CD117 expression and the prognosis of GIST. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 93.0, 89.0 and 82.0%, respectively, in all the patients. However, in the patients with CD133+ or Ki-67+, the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 81.0, 61.5 and 50.0% and 83.0, 66.6 and 53.0%, respectively. Compared with the negative groups, the survival rates in the positive groups were statistically lower (CD133 log-rank, P=0.028; Ki-67 log-rank, P=0.002). The multivariate Cox analysis revealed that CD133 and Ki-67 expression were considerable factors in the prognosis of GIST patients (CD117, P=0.495; CD133, P=0.036; Ki-67, P=0.003). In conclusion, the positive expression of CD133 and Ki-67 was associated with a poor prognosis of GIST.
