Özet
CEP89 (centrosomal protein 89) is required for ciliogenesis and mitochondrial metabolism, but its role in cancer has yet to be clarified. We report that CEP89 is overexpressed in ovarian cancer (OC) compared to normal ovaries. Likewise, its expression is higher in malignant ovarian tumors than in borderline ovarian tumors with low malignant potential. More than a quarter of patients with OC have copy number gains in the CEP89 gene, and patients with high expression have more than a year shorter overall survival compared to those with low expression. Moreover, we found that CEP89 can be considered as a prognostic marker for poor overall survival in patients with OC, after adjusting for tumor stage and residual tumor. Nine out of the top 10 protein interactors of CEP89 have the highest percentage of total copy number variation (CNV) events in OC among all other cancer types. Furthermore, CEP89 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels are higher in OC patients with disease recurrence compared to those with no recurrence. We also analyzed CEP89 levels in OC cell lines in terms of CNV, mRNA, and protein levels; and observed that the FUOV-1 cell line has the highest levels among cell lines that originated from primary sites. Our study suggests that CEP89 may be a valuable prognostic predictor for the overall survival of patients with OC, and it could also be a novel therapeutic target in this malignancy.
