Abstract

Objective:The objective of this study is to assess the correlation between Piezo2 and tumors through a comprehensive meta-analysis and database validation.

Methods:Case-control studies investigating the association between Piezo2 and tumors were obtained from various databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, and PubMed. The search was performed from the inception of each database up until May 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. Metaanalysis of the included literature was conducted using Stata 12.0 software. Additionally, the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database predicted a correlation between Piezo2 expression and prognostic value in tumor patients.

Results:A total of three studies, involving a combined sample size of 392 participants, were included in the meta-analysis. The findings revealed that the expression level of Piezo2 in tumor patients was not significantly associated with age, gender, or tumor size. However, it was found to be positively correlated with lymphatic invasion (OR = 7.89, 95%CI: 3.96-15.73) and negatively correlated with invasion depth (OR = 0.17, 95%CI: 0.06-0.47), TNM stage (OR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.27-0.87), and histological grade (OR = 0.40, 95%CI: 0.21-0.77). Confirming these findings, the GEPIA database indicated that high expression of Piezo2 was associated with poor prognosis of disease-free survival in patients with colon adenocarcinoma (HR = 1.6, P = 0.049) and gastric cancer (HR = 1.6, P = 0.017).

Conclusion:Piezo2 may be associated with poor prognosis and clinicopathological parameters in tumor patients.
