Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

: Tumor-stroma crosstalk promotes the adaptation of cancer cells to the local microenvironment and sustains their growth. We assessed the quantitative and qualitative impact of intralesional stroma on clinic-pathological features and the prognosis of poorly cohesive gastric cancer (PCGC) variants. Tissue microarrays including 75 PCGC specimens were immunostained for cytokeratin 8/18 and α-smooth muscle actin to assess the relative proportion of neoplastic cells versus stromal components and the cases were subsequently divided into stroma-rich (SR) and stroma-poor (SP) tumors. Stromal status is significantly associated with the depth of tumor invasion. Patient survival rate was found to be higher in the SP compared to the SR tumor group and, hence, abundant stroma was identified as a significant risk factor in univariable analysis but had no independent prognostic impact. We also investigated the mRNA levels of KRT8 and the associated transcriptional signatures using the molecular data of 82 PCGC cases divided into KRT8-high and KRT8-low groups. KRT8-high tumors were enriched in proteins localized in the extracellular compartment and their expression levels correlated with longer survival in the KRT8-high group and shorter overall survival in the KRT8-low group. Comprehensively, we find that relative intralesional stromal content is a marker of aggressiveness in PCGC tumors and that extracellular proteins characterize functionally and clinically different PCGC subgroups.
