The clinical and biological values of CPNE1 in prostate cancer are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological value of CPNE1 and the association of CPNE1 with TRAF2 expression in patients with prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS CPNE1 expression in prostate cancer was analyzed using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was used to investigate the association of CPNE1 expression with TRAF2 expression in prostate cancer. The association of CPNE1 expression with recurrence-free survival in patients was also analyzed using the TCGA dataset. Immunohistochemistry assay was performed to examine CPNE1 expression in 65 normal prostate samples and 114 prostate cancer samples. The recurrence-free survival in patients was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. In addition, multivariate and univariate analyses of prognostic factors were investigated by Cox regression. The effect of CPNE1 on TRAF2 expression was explored in human prostate cancer DU-145 cells. RESULTS Our results showed that expression level of CPNE1 is higher in prostate cancer than in normal prostate tissues (P=0.006). In the GSE35988 dataset, CPNE1 expression was found to be upregulated in castration-resistant prostate cancer compared with non-castration-resistant prostate cancer (P<0.001). Furthermore, we found that CPNE1 high expression was significantly related to tumor stage, Gleason score, and poorer biochemical recurrence-free survival in prostate cancer patients. Co-expression analysis of TCGA data showed that CPNE1 is significantly associated with TRAF2 expression. CPNE1 overexpression can upregulate TRAF2 expression in prostate cancer DU-145 cells as determined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our findings suggest that CPNE1 is a valuable prognostic marker for evaluating recurrence-free survival and is positively related to TRAF2 expression in prostate cancer.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Co-expression analysis of CPNE1 and TRAF2 was performed using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:29151113", "locator": "sections[3] \"Microarray analysis\" paragraph 2", "quote": "Co-expression analysis of CPNE1 and TRAF2 was performed using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "For the GSE6956 dataset, microarray gene expression data were used to examine CPNE1 mRNA expression in normal prostate samples (n=20) and prostate cancer samples (n=69) [15].", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:29151113", "locator": "sections[3] \"Microarray analysis\" paragraph 2", "quote": "For the GSE6956 dataset, microarray gene expression data were used to examine CPNE1 mRNA expression in normal prostate samples (n=20) and prostate cancer samples (n=69) [15]."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "complete", "objective": "", "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:29151113"], "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.
