However, its correlation with prognosis and cancer recurrence in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still unclear.Patients and Methods: Expression of Δ 133p53 and Δ 133p53/full-length p53 (FLp53) in tissues and serums of 180 ESCC patients was evaluated using qRT-PCR. Patients were divided into high- and low-expression groups according to the cutoff value determined by X-tile 3.6.1 software. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan–Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox survival analyses were applied to assess the hazard ratios (HRs).Results: Tissue Δ 133p53 expression and Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratio were significantly increased in ESCC tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue. Pre-operative Δ 133p53 expression and Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratio in tissue or serum samples were positively associated with TNM stage and post-operative recurrence. Kaplan–Meier curve and multivariate cox regression analyses revealed that the tissue and serum Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratios (cutoff value: 2.9160) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in ESCC patients and showed no statistical difference in receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, while serum Δ 133p53 showed no significant prognostic value. More importantly, the serum Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratio in ESCC patients was significantly decreased within 72 h post tumor resection and patients with a consistently high serum Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratio (≥ 2.9160) had higher recurrence rates than those with consistently low ratio values. In addition, dynamic detection in each follow-up timepoint showed that serum Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratios were higher than 2.9160 upon recurrence, and they even increased prior to radiologic progression.Conclusion: The serum Δ 133p53/FLp53 ratio can be a novel predictor for survival outcome and may serve as a real-time parameter for monitoring recurrence in ESCC patients after surgery.Keywords: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, p53, Δ 133p53, prognosis, recurrence |
