Meta‑analysis of the autophagy‑associated protein LC3 as a prognostic marker in colorectal cancer

Copyright: © Shen et al..

Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) is an autophagy-associated gene, which is involved in the progression of a number of human malignancies. Such as Breast Cancer, Liver Cancer, and Lung Cancer. However, the role of LC3 in colorectal cancer (CC) remains to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the prognostic role of LC3 expression in CC was evaluated in the present study, with an emphasis on the clinicopathology and prognosis. Expression of LC3 in CC was examined using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica Database, China Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Data. Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to screen the literature quality, and RevMan 5.4 and STATA 14.0 were used for the meta-analysis. A total of 1,689 patients from 10 studies were included in the present meta-analysis. The findings of the present study suggested that increased LC3 expression levels were associated with histological grade [odds ratio (OR)=0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.47, 1.77), P<0.001] and TNM stage [OR=0.91, 95% CI (0.47, 1.77), P<0.001], but were not associated with sex [OR=1.14, 95% CI (0.90, 1.51)], age [OR=0.89, 95% CI (0.67, 1.20)], tumor size [OR=0.78, 95% CI (0.30, 2.34)], histological grade [OR=0.82, 95% CI (0.43, 1.95)] and lymph node metastasis [OR=2.05, 95% CI (1.19, 3.60)] in CC. In addition, the increased expression of LC3 was revealed to be a prognostic factor for the overall survival of patients with CC. In conclusion, the autophagy-associated protein LC3 may be a prognostic indicator of human CC.
