The incidence of esophageal cancer is increasing all over the world, and the development of tumor markers will behelpful for early diagnosis and improved prognosis of esophageal cancer. With the development of detection technology, tumor markers will become more and more important as auxiliary diagnostic means. RPN2 exerts tumorgenetic functions in many kinds of cancer [15]. Honma et al. reported that RPN2 silencing induced apoptosis ofbreast cancer cells in the presence of docetaxel, in vitro and in vivo [16]. Fujita et al. reported that down-regulationof RPN2 significantly inhibited tumorigenicity and sensitized the tumors to cisplatin treatment, which lengthenedthe survival of mice with non-small-cell lung cancer [17]. Hong et al. demonstrated that siRNA-RPN2 could dramatically suppress the invasion and migration of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells through AKT/PI3K signaling[12]. Kurashige et al. reported that RPN2 expression in endoscopic biopsy specimens of oesophageal squamous cellcarcinoma might predict response to docetaxel-based chemotherapy [14]. The role and mechanism of RNP2 in theprogression of esophageal cancer was not investigated clearly. In our study, we report for the first time that RPN2expression is significantly increased in the esophageal cancer tissue compared with normal tissue. In addition, RNP2expression is also elevated notably in esophageal cancer cell lines compared with normal esophageal epithelial celllines. These results indicate that RPN2 could exert an oncogenic role in esophageal cancer.
