Abstract Background: To explore the miR-4787-3p expression levels in the serum exosome and tissue and its role in lymph node metastasis and prognosis in ESCC. Methods: The miRNA array was conducted to detect the ESCC serum exosomal miRNAs expression. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to determine the predictive ESCC with lymph node metastasis efficacy of serum exosomal miR-4784-3p. The Cox regression analysis was preformed to explore prognostic factors for ESCC. Transwell assay and CCK-8 assays were utilized to evaluate cell migration, invasion, and proliferation, respectively. Results: High serum exosomal miR-4787-3p expression was demonstrated in lymph node metastasis group (P =0.011). The serum exosomal miR-4787-3p expression was significantly associated with histologic grade (P = 0.010), and TNM stage (P = 0.033). However, there was no significant relationship between tissue miR-4787-3p expression and clinical characteristics (P >0.05). ROC analyses revealed that the AUCs of serum exosomal miR-4787-3p for lymph node metastasis prediction was 0.787. The Cox regression analysis found that high expression serum exosomal miR-4787-3p were correlated with poor prognoses (for OS, HR=2.68, 95% CI: 1.02~7.04; for DFS, HR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.05~6.68). Nevertheless, no association between tissue miR-4787-3p expression and ESCC prognosis. In addition, upregulated expression of miR-4787-3p could promote migration and invasion in vitro. Conclusions: Serum exosomal miR-4787-3p can be promising biomarkers for ESCC metastasis and prognosis

Objective. The receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase κ (PTPRK) is a candidate tumor suppressor involved in the tumorigenesis of various organs. However, its expression and biological roles in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not yet been investigated. Methods. PTPRK expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines was examined using real-time PCR and western blotting. In addition, the effects of PTPRK on cell migration, invasion, and proliferation were evaluated in vitro. Furthermore, we explored whether the downregulation of PTPRK led to STAT3 activation in NSCLC cell lines by western blotting. The expression of phospho-STAT3Tyr705 in primary human NSCLC tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results. The results showed that PTPRK expression was frequently reduced in NSCLC tissues with lymph node metastasis and cell lines. The inhibition of PTPRK expression resulted in increased proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells in vitro. Additionally, after silencing of PTPRK, phospho-STAT3Tyr705 was significantly increased in NSCLC cells. Moreover, the phospho-STAT3Tyr705 levels of NSCLC tissues were positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and significantly inversely correlated with the expression of PTPRK (p<0.05). Conclusions. These results suggested that PTPRK functions as a novel tumor suppressor in NSCLC, and its suppressive ability may be involved in STAT3 activation.
