Overexpression of transcription factor activating enhancer binding protein 4 (TFAP4) predicts poor prognosis for colorectal cancer patients

Transcription factor activating enhancer binding protein 4 (TFAP4) is an important regulator in the genesis and progression of human cancers. Overexpression of TFAP4 has been found to be correlated with several malignancies. The present study assessed the clinical importance of TFAP4 in colorectal c...

description Transcription factor activating enhancer binding protein 4 (TFAP4) is an important regulator in the genesis and progression of human cancers. Overexpression of TFAP4 has been found to be correlated with several malignancies. The present study assessed the clinical importance of TFAP4 in colorectal cancer (CRC). First, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze TFAP4 expression and the association of TFAP4 expression with clinicopathological features on a tissue microarray containing 208 CRC patients. The results revealed that TFAP4 protein expression was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues compared with that in normal colon tissues (P<0.001). Of note, statistical analysis revealed that TFAP4 expression was significantly correlated with a high pathological grade (P=0.034), advanced clinical stage (P=0.024), enhanced tumor invasion (P=0.002) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.041). In addition, the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset further validated that TFAP4 mRNA levels were increased in CRC with advanced clinical stage (P=0.026), lymph node metastasis (P=0.018) and vascular invasion (P=0.046). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that CRC patients with high TFAP4 expression had shorter overall survival compared with those with low TFAP4 expression (P=0.011). Importantly, overexpression of TFAP4 was a valuable independent prognostic factor for CRC patients (hazard ratio, 8.200; 95% confidence interval, 1.838–36.591; P=0.006). In summary, TFAP4 may have an important role in CRC progression and upregulation of TFAP4 may be a predictor of poor prognosis for CRC patients.
