ABSTRACT
Background:
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is a rare primary liver malignancy. Even in patients amenable to surgery, outcomes are often dismal. Here, we aimed to identify prognostic markers for patient outcomes by analyzing functionally relevant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes with a role in tumor inflammation and angiogenesis. We analyzed 11 polymorphisms in the inflammation-angiogenesis axis (VEGF, EGF, EGFR, IL-1b, IL-6, CXCL8 (IL-8), IL-10, CXCR1, HIF1A, and COX2 genes) for their prediction of tumor recurrence and survival in pCCA patients undergoing surgery in a curative intent.Methods:
Samples were obtained from 111 patients with pCCA undergoing liver resection in curative intent. DNA was extracted and analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism protocols and correlated with patients' outcomes.Results:
Out of the assessed variants, only the CXCR1 (also interleukin-8-receptor alpha - IL-8RA) +860C>G heterozygous polymorphism (rs2234671) was associated with decreased disease-free survival (DFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) (18/111 (16.2%), median DFS 14 months, log-rank p = 0.007; median CSS 31 months, log-rank p = 0.007; and median OS 6 months, log-rank p = 0.002), compared to the GG genotype (92/111 (82.9%), median DFS 55 months, median CSS 63 months, and median OS 33 months). In the multivariate analysis, +860C>G remained an independent prognostic factor for DFS (adjusted p = 0.008), CSS (adjusted p = 0.001), and OS (adjusted p = 0.001).Conclusion:
Genetic variant of CXCR1 +860C>G may serve as a molecular marker for DFS, CSS, and OS in patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for pCCA, indicating that the analysis of SNPs in genes involved in immune-mediated angiogenesis may help to identify patient subgroups at high risk for dismal oncological and overall outcome.
