NFIX downregulation independently predicts poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma, but not in squamous cell carcinoma.
FUTURE ONCOLOGY(2018)
Abstract
Aim: To study the expression profile of NFIX, its prognostic value and the mechanism of its dysregulation in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Patients & materials: A retrospective study was performed by using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas and the Human Protein Atlas. Results: High NFIX RNA expression was an independent prognostic factor of favorable overall survival (HR: 0.687, 95% CI: 0.496-0.951; p=0.024) and recurrence-free survival (HR: 0.700, 95% CI: 0.493-0.994, p=0.046) in LUAD, but not in lung squamous cell carcinoma. NFIX DNA hypermethylation was associated with significantly decreased NFIX expression and shorter overall survival and recurrence-free survival in LUAD. Conclusion:NFIX downregulation might independently predict poor prognosis in LUAD. DNA hypermethylation might be an important cause of the downregulation.
