Survival and clinicopathological significance of PYCR1 expression in cancer: A meta-analysis

BackgroundProline metabolism is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. Δ1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (PYCR) is the last enzyme in proline biosynthesis. As one of the enzyme types, PYCR1 takes part in the whole process of the growth, invasion, and drug resistance of cance...

description BackgroundProline metabolism is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. Δ1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (PYCR) is the last enzyme in proline biosynthesis. As one of the enzyme types, PYCR1 takes part in the whole process of the growth, invasion, and drug resistance of cancer cells. This study investigated PYCR1 expressions in cancers together with their relationship to clinical prognosis.MethodsA thorough database search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. RevMan5.3 software was used for the statistical analysis.ResultsEight articles were selected, and 728 cancer patients were enrolled. The cancer types include lung, stomach, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The meta-analysis results showed that the expression of PYCR1 was higher in the clinical stage III–IV group than that in the clinical stage I–II group (OR = 1.67, 95%CI: 1.03–2.71), higher in the lymph node metastasis group than in the non-lymph node metastasis group (OR = 1.57, 95%CI: 1.06–2.33), and higher in the distant metastasis group than in the non-distant metastasis group (OR = 3.46, 95%CI: 1.64–7.29). However, there was no statistical difference in PYCR1 expression between different tumor sizes (OR = 1.50, 95%CI: 0.89–2.53) and degrees of differentiation (OR = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.54–1.24).ConclusionPYCR1 had a high expression in various cancers and was associated with cancer volume and metastasis. The higher the PYCR1 expression was, the poorer the cancer prognosis was. The molecular events and biological processes mediated by PYCR1 might be the underlying mechanisms of metastasis.
