並列タイトル等USP44高発現は細胞のDNA aneuploidy を誘導し、胃癌の独立予後不良因子となる。
一般注記Chromosomal instability (CIN), characterized by aneuploidy, is a major molecular subtype of gastric cancer. The deubiquitinase USP44 is an important regulator of APC activation in the spindle checkpoint and leads to proper chromosome separation to prevent aneuploidy. Aberrant expression of USP44 leads CIN in cells; however, the correlation between USP44 and DNA aneuploidy in gastric cancer is largely unknown. We analyzed USP44 expression in 207 patients with gastric cancer by immunohistochemistry and found that the proportion of USP44 expression was higher in gastric cancer tumors (mean, 39.6%) than in gastric normal mucosa (mean, 14.6%) (P < 0.0001). DNA aneuploidy was observed in 124 gastric cancer cases and high USP44 expression in cancer strongly correlated with DNA aneuploidy (P = 0.0005). The overall survival was significantly poorer in the high USP44 expression group compared with the low USP44 group (P = 0.033). Notably, USP44 expression had no prognostic impact in the diploid subgroup; however, high USP44 expression was a strong poor prognostic factor for progression-free survival (P = 0.018) and overall survival (P = 0.036) in the aneuploid subgroup. We also confirmed that stable overexpression of USP44 induced somatic copy-number aberrations in hTERT-RPE-1 cells (50.6%) in comparison with controls (6.6%) (P < 0.0001). Collectively, our data show USP44 has clinical impact on the induction of DNA aneuploidy and poor prognosis in the CIN gastric cancer subtype.
