Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the changes in the expression of Notch1 and hairy and enhancer of split‑1 (HES1) and the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma following surgery. Samples from 62 patients with osteosarcoma treated at Shandong Cancer hospital from April, 2011 to June, 2013 were collected as the research group, and those from 52 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination were collected as the control group. The expression levels of Notch1 and HES1 in the serum of patients with osteosarcoma were measured by ELISA before and after surgery. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between Notch1 expression and HES1 expression in the osteosarcoma patients. According to the expression levels of Notch1 and HES1, the patients were divided into the high expression group and the low expression group, and the 5‑year survival rate of the patients was observed. The expression levels of Notch1 and HES1 in the osteosarcoma patients before surgery were higher than those after surgery (P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of Notch1 for osteosarcoma were 93.55%, 58.06% and 0.732 respectively, and those of HES1 were 82.26%, 61.29% and 0.766, respectively. The expression level of Notch1 positively correlated with the expression level of HES1 in the osteosarcoma patients (r=0.795, P<0.001). According to the expression levels of Notch1 and HES1, the patients were divided into the high and low expression groups. The survival rate of the low expression group was significantly higher than that of the high expression groups (P=0.045). Finally, multiple factors were analyzed by logistic regression, and it was found that tumor location, chemotherapy response, tumor size, Notch1 and HES1 were independent risk factors for prognosis. Notch1 and HES1 exhibited a low expression in patients following surgery. ROC curve analysis revealed that the two indicators had good diagnostic efficacy and were expected to become markers for diagnosis and prognosis of osteosarcoma.
