title: Tetraspanin CD151 as an emerging potential poor prognostic factor across solid tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
abstract: Tetraspanin CD151, also known as PETA-3 or SFA-1, has been reported to predict prognosis in various solid tumors. Yet, the results of these studies remained inconclusive. Here, we performed this meta-analysis of relevant studies published on the topic to quantitatively evaluate the clinicopathological significance of CD151 in solid tumors. The relevant articles were identified via searching the PubMed, Web of Science and Embase database. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were calculated to evaluate the prognostic value of CD151 expression in patients with solid tumors. A total of 19 studies involving 4, 270 participants were included in the study, we drew the conclusion that CD151 overexpression was associated with statistically significant poor OS (pooled HR = 1.498, 95% CI = 1.346-1.667, P<0.001) and poor DFS (pooled HR = 1.488, 95% CI = 1.314-1.685, P<0.001). Furthermore, the subgroup analysis revealed that the associations between CD151 overexpression and the outcome endpoints (OS or TTP) were significant within the Asian region and European, as well in patients with breast cancer or gastric cancer. Taken together, the incorporative HR showed CD151 overexpression was associated with poor survival in human solid tumors. CD151 could be a valuable prognosis biomarker or a potential therapeutic target of solid tumors.
