The Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor, Tiam1, plays a major role in oncogenicity, tumour invasion and metastasis but its usefulness as a prognostic marker in human cancer has not been tested yet. In the present study, Tiam1 expression was analysed in benign secretory epithelium, pre-neoplastic high-grade prostatic intraepithelium neoplasia (HG-PIN) and prostate carcinomas of 60 R0-resected radical prostatectomy specimens by semiquantitative immunohistochemistry. Tiam1 proved significantly overexpressed in both HG-PIN (P<0.001) and prostate carcinomas (P<0.001) when compared to benign secretory epithelium. Strong Tiam1 overexpression (i.e. ⩾3.5-fold) in prostate carcinomas relative to the respective benign prostatic epithelium was statistically significantly associated with disease recurrence (P=0.016), the presence of lymph vessel invasion (P=0.031) and high Gleason scores (GS) (i.e. ⩾7) (P=0.044). Univariate analysis showed a statistically significant association of strong Tiam1 overexpression with decreased disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.03). This prognostic effect of strong Tiam1 overexpression remained significant in multivariate analysis including preoperative prostate-specific antigen levels, pT stage, and GS (relative risk= 3.75, 95% confidence interval=1.06–13.16; P=0.04). Together, our data suggest that strong Tiam1 overexpression relative to the corresponding benign epithelial cells is a new and independent predictor of decreased DFS for patients with prostate cancer.
