Abstract

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas (PSCs) are defined as a group of poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancers that demonstrate sarcoma‑like differentiation. The mechanism of mesenchymal differentiation in PSC is epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The expression of homeobox protein NANOG (NANOG), which regulates the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells, is associated with the EMT process. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the expression level of NANOG and the status of the EMT process in PSC. The data of patients with PSC were retrospectively reviewed and immunohistochemical analyses were performed on patient samples to examine the expression of NANOG and EMT-associated proteins. The comparator group included randomly selected patients with matched clinicopathological characteristics who had pulmonary adenocarcinoma (PA). In the present study, 12 patients with PSC (4 females and 8 males) were enrolled; their median age was 65 years (range, 36‑79 years), and the number of patients with stage IB, IIB, IIIA, IIIB and IV disease were 1, 1, 1, 1 and 8, respectively. The immunoreactive score (IRS) for E‑cadherin was significantly lower in the PSC group compared with the PA group (P<0.0001), whereas the IRS for vimentin was significantly higher in the PSC group compared with the PA group (P<0.0001). However, the IRS for NANOG was significantly decreased in the PSC group compared with the PA group (P<0.0001), which suggests that NANOG does not serve an essential role in EMT in PSC. In addition, the overall survival of patients with PSC was significantly lower compared with that of patients with PA (median survival time, 7.0 vs. 35.6 months, respectively; P=0.0256). However, no significant difference was observed in the OS of patients who expressed low compared with high levels of NANOG (P=0.4416). In conclusion, it was clearly demonstrated that cytoplasmic NANOG expression was significantly lower in PSC compared with PA, and that the EMT process in PSC was accelerated, compared with that in PA.
