Early diagnosis significantly increases the survival rate. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) and endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (ERp29) in benign and malignant gallbladder lesions and to develop a possible alternative treatment for GBC. METHODS: A total of 100 gallbladder adenocarcinoma, 46 peritumoral, 30 gallbladder adenomatous, 15 gallbladder polyp and 35 chronic cholecystitis tissues were included. S1P1 and ERp29 expressions were evaluated by immunohistochemistry The correlation between S1P1 and ERp29 expression and tumor pathological features and prognosis was analyzed. RESULTS: S1P1 positive rate was significantly higher in gallbladder adenocarcinomas than that in peritumoral adenomatous, polyp, and chronic cholecystitis tissues. On the contrary, ERp29 positive rate was significantly lower in adenocarcinomas than that in peritumoral, adenomatous polyp, and chronic cholecystitis tissues. Benign lesions with positive S1P1 or negative ERp29 expression showed moderate or severe atypical hyperplasia in the gallbladder epithelium The overexpression of S1P1 or non-expression of ERp29 was significantly associated with tumor differentiation, tumor mass, lymph node metastasis, and adenocarcinoma invasion Univariate Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the elevated S1P1 (P=0.008) or absence of ERp29 (P=0.043) was closely associated with decreased survival rate. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that S1P1 positive (P=0.004) or ERp29 negative (P=0.029) was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in gallbladder adenocarcinoma.CONCLUSION: S1P1 overexpression or ERp29 absence is related to the carcinogenesis and progression, and may be potential biomarkers for early detection of gallbladder adenocarcinoma.展开更多
