- W2479456411 abstract "Diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas are central nervous system tumors originating from astrocytic glial cells or their precursor cells. In this retrospective study we investigated the content of hyaluronan and the expression of hyaluronan metabolizing enzymes and its cell surface receptor, CD44, in these aggressive tumors. Hyaluronan is a large extracellular matrix molecule synthesized by three hyaluronan synthases (HAS1-3) on the plasma membrane and degraded by two hyaluronidases (HYAL1-2). In many tumors, aberrant hyaluronan metabolism implicates aggressive disease progression and metastatic potential. Our material consisted of 165 diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas (WHO grades II-IV). Tumor samples were processed into tissue microarray (TMA) blocks. The TMA sections were stained for hyaluronan, CD44, HAS1, HAS2, HAS3 and HYAL2. The staining intensity of astrocytomas was evaluated with a four-level scoring (0-3; no color, weak, moderate and strong) by two independent observers. The immunostaining results were compared with χ2 -test or with Kruskal-Wallis test for correlation with clinicopathological parameters and survival analyses were done with Kaplan-Meier log rank test and Cox regression. Hyaluronan and CD44 were strongly expressed in astrocytic gliomas but their expression did not correlate with WHO grade, cell proliferation activity by Ki-67, p53 status, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification or IDH1 mutation. Whereas HAS2 staining intensity showed a significant correlation with IDH1 mutation. Tumors with high HAS2 expression were IDH1 negative (p = 0.003). In addition, in non-parametric tests increased HAS2 staining intensity showed association with increased cell proliferation (p = 0.013) and in log rank test with decreased overall survival of patients (p = 0.001). Variables included in the multivariable Cox regression analysis were HAS2 staining intensity, p53 status, EGFR amplification, IDH1 mutation and WHO tumor grade; in this analysis HAS2 expression turned out to be a significant independent prognostic factor (p = 0.008). This study indicates that elevated expression of HAS2 is associated with glioma progression and suggests that HAS2 has a prognostic significance in diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas.
