Abstract Objective To observe the expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell lines, serums and tissues, and to discuess its clinical value. Methods The expression of SFRP4 in esophageal squamous cell line HET-1A and ESCC cell line were compared. The serum samples from 70 ESCC patients, 70 Barrett’s esophagus patients and 70 healthy subjects were collected in the 900th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Team (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”) from June 2019 to October 2020, and the expression levels of SFRP4, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) in serum were detected. A total of 160 ESCC and paracancer paraffin tissue specimens were collected from the Department of Pathology in our hospital from March 2013 to April 2015 to detect the expression of SFRP4. Results The expression of SFRP4 in all ESCC cell lines were higher than that in esophageal squamous cell lines (P < 0.05). The expression level of SFRP4 in the serum of ESCC patients was higher than that of Barrett’s esophagus and healthy subjects (P < 0.05). The area under the curve of combined detection with SFRP4, CEA, and SCCA were all higher than that of the single test (P < 0.05). The positive rate of SFRP4 in ESCC was 46.9% in paraffin tissue specimens, which was higher than 15.6% in normal adjacent tissues (P < 0.05). The positive expression of SFRP4 was related to the pathological staging (P < 0.05). Conclusion The SFRP4 could be used as an indicator for auxiliary diagnosis of ESCC, and might become a potential molecular marker for targeted therapy.
