Expression of IL-13Rα2 and FUS in glioma: clinicopathological and prognostic correlation.
BMC Neurology 2023 May 9
BACKGROUND: IL-13Rα2 is one of the most widely studied tumor-associated antigens in glioma research. Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a DNA/RNA binding protein that is dysfunctional in various malignant tumors. However, the expression of IL-13Rα2 and FUS, their relationship with clinicopathological parameters and their prognostic value in glioma remain unclear.
METHODS: In the present study, the expression of IL-13Rα2 and FUS was measured in a glioma tissue array by immunohistochemistry. Pearson's X2 test was used to determine the correlation between immunohistochemical expressions and clinicopathological parameters. Pearson's or Spearman's correlation test was used to determine the association between these two proteins expression. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to investigate the effect of these proteins on prognosis.
RESULTS: The expressions of IL-13Rα2 were significantly higher in high-grade gliomas (HGG) than that in low-grade gliomas (LGG) and was associated with IDH mutation status, whereas FUS location demonstrated no significant correlation with clinicopathological parameters. Moreover, a positive relationship was found between nuclear and cytoplasmic co-localization FUS and IL-13Rα2 expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with IDH wide type or IL-13Rα2 had worst overall survival (OS) compared to other biomarkers. In HGG, IL-13Rα2 combined with nuclear and cytoplasmic co-localization of FUS was associated with worse OS. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor grade, Ki-67, P53 and IL-13Rα2 could be the independent prognostic factors for OS.
CONCLUSION: IL-13Rα2 expression was significantly associated with cytoplasmic distribution of FUS in human glioma samples and could be the independent prognostic factors for OS, while the prognostic value of its co-expression with cytoplasmic FUS in glioma need to be addressed in the future studies.
