AbstractRecent studies have revealed an oncogenic role of DJ-1 through its ability to transform normal cells, prevent oxidative damage, and inhibit apoptosis. However, its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is unknown. In this study, by immunohistochemistry, we analyzed the expression of DJ-1 in 81 ESCC tumors, 31 paired nonneoplastic esophageal epithelia, and 19 paired ESCC lymph node metastases. We found that cytoplasmic DJ-1 expression was significantly higher in ESCC and ESCC lymph node metastases than in nonneoplastic esophageal epithelium. ESCC specimens with high distant metastatic potentialal so had a significantly higher level of nuclear DJ-1 expression (P = 0.018). By Kaplan-Meier analysis, we found that a high level of nuclear DJ-1 was significantly associated with poorer patient survival in our cohort (P = 0.028). To investigate whether DJ-1 promotes ESCC progression through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway and modulation of apoptosis, we performed immunohistochemistry of pAkt and Daxx. We found that DJ-1 expression was significantly associated with pAkt, whereas nuclear DJ-1 expression was significantly correlated with nuclear expression of Daxx. These results suggest that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway and Daxx-regulated apoptosis might be important in DJ-1-mediated ESCC progression. By using multivariate Cox regression, we further showed that T4 stage (P = 0.003) and DJ-1 (P = 0.034) are independent predictors of patient survival. In conclusion, our results suggest that DJ-1 plays a very important role in transformation and progression of ESCC and may be used as a prognostic marker in ESCC.
