Abstract Background The neuronal intermediate filament alpha-internexin (α-internexin) is a cytoskeleton protein which is involved in the tumor initiation and progression. In this study, we examined the expression and prognosis value of α-internexin in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs). Methods α-internexin was detected with immunohistochemical staining in 286 tumor specimens from patients with GEP-NENs. Methylation status of α-internexin was evaluated by bisulfite genomic sequencing. We assessed the prognostic value of α-internexin and its correlation with relevant clinicalpathological characteristics. Results The reduced/loss of expression rate of α-internexin in GEP-NEN was 73.4% (210/286), while the positive expression rate was 26.6% (76/286). The difference of α-internexin deficiency was not statistically significant between gastrointestinal NENs (GI-NENs) and pancreatic NENs (pNENs). However, we found significant difference of reduced/loss of α-internexin expression among different sites of GI-NENs (χ2 = 43.470, P |
