Abstract

To determine the expression and function of Delta/Notch-like EGF-related receptor (DNER) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression of DNER in 84 HCC tissue samples and matched adjacent noncancerous specimens, as well as HCC cells, were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Survival analysis was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method. For experiments in vitro, cell viability was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 Assay and Colony Formation Assay. Furthermore, cell invasion and migration assays were performed with Transwell Assay. The results showed that DNER was overexpressed in the tissues and cell lines of HCC (all, p < 0.05), and the upregulated expression of DNER was significantly correlated with advanced pathologic stage (p = 0.013) and pathologic-M1 (p = 0.012) in HCC patients. Survival analysis revealed that patients with high DNER levels had worse overall survival (OS) than those with low DNER levels (p = 0.004). More importantly, DNER could be an independent predictor of prognosis for OS (HR = 2.582, 95% CI 1.239-5.380, p = 0.011). In vitro, knockdown of DNER significantly suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, cell invasion, and cell migration in HepG2...Continue Reading
