BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 (EIF4G1) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its correlation with clinicopathologic features, including patients' survival time.MethodsUsing real-time PCR, we detected the expression ofEIF4G1in normal nasopharyngeal tissues, immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell lines NP69, NPC tissues and cell lines.EIF4G1protein expression in NPC tissues was examined using immunohistochemistry. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. The effect ofEIF4G1on cell invasion and tumorigenesis were investigated.ResultsThe expression levels ofEIF4G1mRNA were significantly greater in NPC tissues and cell lines than those in the normal nasopharyngeal tissues and NP69 cells (P< 0.001). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the expression ofEIF4G1protein was higher in NPC tissues than that in the nasopharyngeal tissues (P< 0.001). In addition, the levels ofEIF4G1protein in tumors were positively correlated with tumor T classification (P= 0.039), lymph node involvement (N classification,P= 0.008), and the clinical stages (P= 0.003) of NPC patients. Patients with higherEIF4G1 expression had shorter overall survival time (P= 0.019). Multivariate analysis showed thatEIF4G1expression was an independent prognostic indicator for the overall survival of NPC patients. Using shRNA to knock down the expression ofEIF4G1not only markedly inhibited cell cycle progression, proliferation, migration, invasion, and colony formation, but also dramatically suppressedin vivoxenograft tumor growth.ConclusionOur data suggest thatEIF4G1can serve as a biomarker for the prognosis of NPC patients.
