Background. DTW Domain Containing 2 (DTWD2) is a newly identified transfer RNA-uridine aminocarboxypropyltransferase. Dysregulated expression of DTWD1 has been reported in several malignancies, nevertheless, the role of DTWD2 in cancers remains completely unknown. Here, we aimed to initially investigate the expression and role of DTWD2 in colon adenocarcinoma. Methods. We first evaluated the transcription and mRNA levels of DTWD2 using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Besides, we tested its mRNA and protein expression in our enrolled retrospective cohort. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess its prognostic value. Cellular experiments and xenografts were also performed to validate the role of DTWD2 in colon cancer progression. Results. DTWD2 was downregulated in colon adenocarcinoma and associated with poor prognosis. Lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and advanced tumor stage are all characterized by lower DTWD2 levels. Furthermore, Cox regression analysis demonstrated that DTWD2 is a novel independent prognostic factor for colon cancer patients. Finally, cellular and xenograft data demonstrated that silencing DTWD2 significantly enhanced colon cancer growth. Conclusion. Low expression of DTWD2 may be a potential molecular marker for poor prognosis in colon cancer. |
