We examined the prognostic significance of Epidermal Growth Factor-like repeats and Discoidin I-Like Domains 3 (EDIL3) expression and its correlations with mesenchymal phenotype and microvessel density in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). A total of 268 NSCLC specimens were evaluated retrospectively by immunohistochemical staining for EDIL3, EMT markers (e-cadherin, β-catenin, and vimentin), and CD31 to measure microvessel density. EDIL3, e-cadherin, β-catenin, and vimentin were expressed in 16%, 22.8%, 3.7%, and 10.1% of the specimens, respectively. The mRNA level of EDIL3 in tumor was correlated with the level of EDIL3 protein expression using immunohistochemistry. In lung adenocarcinoma patients, EDIL3 expression was significantly correlated with low e-cadherin expression, high vimentin expression, and increased microvessel density (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.023, respectively). In lung squamous cell carcinoma patients, EDIL3 expression was significantly correlated with low e-cadherin expression and high vimentin expression (P = 0.021 and P = 0.002, respectively). In lung adenocarcinoma patients, EDIL3 was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in a multivariate analysis (hazard ratio: 2.552, P = 0.004). EDIL3 is significantly correlated with mesenchymal phenotype, angiogenesis, and tumor progression in lung adenocarcinoma.
