Résumé

OBJECTIVES: In non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), earlier studies supported a prognostic value of intra-cytoplasmic HuR expression. HuR is a RNA binding protein previously shown to stimulate proliferation, but the link between HuR and proliferation in NSCLC has not yet been evaluated. The first objective of this study was to analyze the expression of HuR in a series of NSCLC and to correlate this to two proliferation markers, Ki-67 and MCM6. As potential post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms for HuR expression, two miRNAs, miR16 and miR519, were also analyzed. Finally, because HuR methylation could be involved in its nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, the expression of methyl(R217)HuR and its relation to cancer survival were determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the expression of HuR, methy(R217)HuR, Ki-67 and MCM6 in a series of 190 NSCLCs. The level of miR16 and miR519 was determined by qRT-PCR. RESULTS: Higher cytoplasmic HuR staining was found in tumor vs. control paired normal lung (p
