Notes

Nie [3]

Lung cancer

Yes

Yes

qRT-PCR, IHC

Overexpression of stathmin is a poor prognostic biomarker for non-small cell lung cancer

Sun [11]

No

Yes

IHC, WB, qRT-PCR

Overexpression of stathmin correlates with shorter overall survival and progression-free survival in non-small cell lung cancer

Wang [15]

Esophageal carcinoma

No

Yes

IHC, ISH

Stathmin is associated with esophageal carcinoma (EC) development and progression and may be a good prognostic marker for patients with EC

Wang [16]

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin is highly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma Eca109 and TE-1 cells

Liu [13]

Yes

Yes

2-DE and IHC

Stathmin is overexpressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues

Akhtar [12]

No

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin overexpression predicts a high risk for lymphatic metastatic recurrence in pN0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients

Baquero [17]

Breast cancer

No

Yes

IHC

High stathmin expression predicts worse overall survival of breast cancer

Watanabe [18]

Cholangiocarcinoma

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin correlates with shorter recurrence-free survival and overall survival in cholangiocarcinoma patients

Hsieh [4]

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin overexpression in hepatoma is associated with local invasion, early recurrence, and poor prognosis, and is an independent indicator for tumor recurrence

Ahn [19]

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin and EF1α increase as multistep hepatocarcinogenesis progressed, showing the highest levels in hepatocellular carcinomas

Chen [20]

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Upregulation of E2F1 and stathmin are associated with worse outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Li [24]

Gastric cancer

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin is overexpressed in 103 post-operational gastric cancer specimens

Liu [25]

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin is elevated in gastric cancer tissues, indicating a possible association between the stathmin and the disease occurrence

Batsaikhan [21]

No

Yes

IHC, ISH

Higher stathmin is significantly associated with gender-and poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma

Kang [22]

 

Yes

Yes

IHC,WB, qRT-PCR

Stathmin is upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines and primary gastric adenocarcinomas, which is correlated with age, T stage and lymph node metastasis

Ke [23]

No

Yes

IHC, WB, qRT-PCR

Stathmin mRNA and protein in gastric cancer tissues are overexpressed, which correlates with Lauren’s classification, depth of invasion, lymph node metastases, and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage

Lu [27]

Pancreatic cancer

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin is over-expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues and correlates with vascular emboli, tumor size, and overall survival

Schimmack [28]

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm

Yes

Yes

IHC,WB, qRT-PCR

Stathmin mRNA and protein are overexpressed in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNENs) and correlate with pNEN tumor extension, size, and Ki67 expression

Li [59]

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Stathmin is overexpressed to a large extent in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines

Machado-Neto [29]

Myelodysplastic syndromes

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Higher stathmin level is observed in proliferating hematopoietic cells, high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute leukemia cells

Hsu [30]

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Yes

Yes

IHC, WB

Higher stathmin expression is correlated with advanced age higher T stage and overall clinical stage

Birnie [31]

Malignant pleural mesothelioma

Yes

No

IHC, WB

Stathmin expression is higher in malignant pleural mesothelioma cell lines when compared with primary mesothelial cell controls

Howitt [32]

Cervical carcinomas

No

Yes

IHC

Stathmin is overexpressed in virtually all cervical carcinomas and cervical intraepithelial neoplasias 3 (CIN3) lesions

He [33]

Endometrial carcinoma

Yes

Yes

IHC

Stathmin is up-regulated in endometrial carcinoma (EC), and elevated stathmin is correlated positively with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis

Wik [34]

Yes

Yes

IHC, FISH, FCM, SNP

High p-stathmin(S38) level is associated with poor prognosis, independent of other features.

Bhagirath [37]

Bladder urothelial carcinoma

No

No

ELISA, qRT-PCR

The urinary level of serum stathmin concentration shows a specific increase in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder as compared to the controls

Wosnitzer [35]

No

Yes

Immunophenotype analysis

Increased total tau (cytoplasmic and nuclear) and stathmin before intravesical taxane therapy is significantly associated with decreased recurrence-free survival

Hemdan [36]

No

Yes

IHC,WB

High stathmin expression correlates to shorter disease-specific survival hazard ratio, elevated p53 and Ki67-protein levels

Tan [38]

Colorectal cancer

Yes

Yes

2-D DIGE
