Sphingosine kinase 1 and cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
<h4>Background</h4>Sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) is a key regulator of the dynamic ceramide/sphingosine 1-phosphate rheostat balance and important in the pathological cancer genesis, progression, and metastasis processes. Many studies have demonstrated SK1 overexpressed in various cancers,...

Many studies have demonstrated SK1 overexpressed in various cancers, but no meta-analysis has evaluated the relationship between SK1 and various cancers.<h4>Methods</h4>We retrieved relevant articles from the PubMed, EBSCO, ISI, and OVID databases. A pooled odds ratio (OR) was used to assess the associations between SK1 expression and cancer; hazard ratios (HR) were used for 5-year and overall survival. Review Manager 5.0 was used for the meta-analysis, and publication bias was evaluated with STATA 12.0 (Egger's test).<h4>Results</h4>Thirty-four eligible studies (n=4,673 patients) were identified. SK1 positivity and high expression were significantly different between cancer, non-cancer, and benign tissues. SK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were elevated in the cancer tissues, compared with the normal tissues. SK1 positivity rates differed between various cancer types (lowest [27.3%] in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and highest [82.2%] in tongue squamous cell carcinoma). SK1 positivity and high expression were associated with 5-year survival; the HR was 1.86 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-2.94) for breast cancer, 1.58 (1.08-2.31) for gastric cancer, and 2.68 (2.10-3.44) for other cancers; the total cancer HR was 2.21 (95% CI, 1.83-2.67; P < 0.00001). The overall survival HRs were 2.09 (95% CI, 1.35-3.22), 1.56 (1.08-2.25), and 2.62 (2.05-3.35) in breast, gastric, and other cancers, respectively. The total effect HR was 2.21 (95% CI, 1.83-2.66; P < 0.00001).<h4>Conclusions</h4>SK1 positivity and high expression were significantly associated with cancer and a shorter 5-year and overall survival.
