Association between PIK3CA alteration and prognosis of gastric cancer patients : a meta-analysis

BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests that dysregulation of phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) plays an important role in carcinogenesis. However, the relationship between PIK3CA expression and gastric cancer (GC) prognosis remains controversial.

METHODS: We searchedPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies up to June 30, 2017. Primary outcomes were hazard ratio (HR), odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for association with overall survival and clinicopathological features.

RESULTS: Eleven studies comprising 2481 GC patients were analyzed. Pooled analysis showed that PIK3CA upregulation was significantly associated with worse overall survival (HR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.42-2.27, p< 0.001) at the protein (HR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.52-2.47, p< 0.001) but not the gene (HR = 1.57, 95% CI 0.92-2.69, p= 0.097) level. PIK3CA gene mutation did not correlate with overall survival (HR = 1.05, 95% CI 0.83-1.34, p= 0.666) but was significantly associated with poor tumor differentiation (OR = 0.37, 95% CI 0.17-0.76, p= 0.011).

CONCLUSION: High PIK3CA protein expression predicted poor prognosis in GC, whereas PIK3CA gene amplification or mutation did not. Moreover, PIK3CA mutation was an indicator of poorly differentiated tumors.
