Gamma‐synuclein is a novel prognostic marker that promotes tumor cell migration in biliary tract carcinoma

Abstract: Gamma‐synuclein (SNCG) promotes invasive behavior and is reportedly a prognostic factor in a range of cancers. However, its role in biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) remains unknown. Consequently, we investigated the clinicopathological significance and function of SNCG in BTC. Using resected BTC specimens from 147 patients with adenocarcinoma (extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ECC, n = 96]; intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC, n = 51]), we immunohistochemically evaluated SNCG expression and investigated its corre… Show more

“…Similar to optic nerve axotomy and elevated intraocular pressure-induced injury, the present finding supports that the loss of RGCs is associated with the downregulation of SNCG expression in the retina after optic nerve injuries [30]. The expression level of SNCG has been correlated with the progression of some cancers [31] and Alzheimer's disease [32], suggesting a role in the pathophysiology. Aggregated SNCG was found in the motor neurons of some amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients [33].…”

“…Through activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, SNCG can promote ovarian cancer cell metastasis [21]. Furthermore, SNCG can also serve as a potential prognostic gene for biliary tract cancer [22]. While considering the role of SNCG in GC, it has been proved that SNCG relates to the cancer invasion depth and lymph node metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma [23].…”

“…During recent decades, several studies associated γS levels with poor outcome in endometrial adenocarcinoma [ 61 , 113 ], which correlates with a worse prognosis for uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma patients with high levels of SNCG transcripts ( Figure 4 ). It has also been proposed that γS could be a prognostic marker for tumor cell migration in biliary carcinomas [ 120 ].…”
