However, the contribution of MMP16 to colorectal cancer (CRC) remains elusive. In this study, we combined analyzed the MMP16 expression in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), GSE39582 database and in-house database. In TCGA and GSE39584 database, the log-rank test demonstrated that overall survival (OS) for patients with low MMP16 expression in tumor tissues was significantly higher than those with high expression (P < 0.05). In the validation cohort, high MMP16 expression was significantly correlated with N stage (P = 0.008) and lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.002). The 5-year OS and disease free survival (DFS) in high and low MMP16 expression groups were 66.0% and 80.6%, 54.3% and 72.8%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that high MMP16 expression was an independently prognosis factor for both OS and DFS (P < 0.05). Functional study found that silencing MMP16 expression could inhibit migration and invasion of colon cancer cells. In conclusion, high expression of MMP16 is associated with the aggressive malignant behavior and poor survival outcome of CRC patients. MMP16 can serve as an indicator of prognosis as well as a potential novel target for treatment of CRC patients.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "The survival curves were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and P values were calculated by log rank test.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:28422174", "locator": "sections[18] \"Statistical Analysis\" paragraph 2", "quote": "The survival curves were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and P values were calculated by log rank test."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "Gene expression (RNA-Seq) data and corresponding clinical data of CRC samples were retrieved from TCGA database ((https://genome-cancer.ucsc.edu/) and GSE39582 database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/).", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:28422174", "locator": "sections[10] \"Patients in TCGA and GSE39582 database\" paragraph 2", "quote": "Gene expression (RNA-Seq) data and corresponding clinical data of CRC samples were retrieved from TCGA database ((https://genome-cancer.ucsc.edu/) and GSE39582 database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/)."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-target-result", "statement": "Using log-rank survival analysis of MMP16 expression in TCGA and GSE39582 cohorts, with findings validated in an in-house CRC cohort, the paper found that high MMP16 expression was associated with poorer survival outcomes.", "kind": "qualitative", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:28422174", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "In TCGA and GSE39584 database, the log-rank test demonstrated that overall survival (OS) for patients with low MMP16 expression in tumor tissues was significantly higher than those with high expression (P < 0.05)."}, {"asset": "source:pmid:28422174", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "In the validation cohort, high MMP16 expression was significantly correlated with N stage (P = 0.008) and lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.002)."}, {"asset": "source:pmid:28422174", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "The 5-year OS and disease free survival (DFS) in high and low MMP16 expression groups were 66.0% and 80.6%, 54.3% and 72.8%, respectively."}, {"asset": "source:pmid:28422174", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "In conclusion, high expression of MMP16 is associated with the aggressive malignant behavior and poor survival outcome of CRC patients."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "complete", "objective": "Using log-rank survival analysis of MMP16 expression in TCGA and GSE39582 cohorts, with findings validated in an in-house CRC cohort, the paper found that high MMP16 expression was associated with poorer survival outcomes.", "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:28422174"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
