Recent studies have shown that intratumoral heterogeneity is prevalent in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) based on DNA sequencing and chromosome analysis in multiple regions from the same tumor. This study aimed to investigate the expression of ZNF750, EP300, MTOR and KMT2D and their intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) in patients with ESCC. A total of 106 cases, who underwent esophagectomy from 2008 to 2010, with two foci from each case, were tested by immunohistochemistry(IHC) as well as 12 cases were tested by RNAscope in this study. We found that 58/106 (54.72%), 66/106 (62.26%), 75/106 (70.75%%) of ESCC showed high expression of ZNF750, EP300, MTOR, respectively by IHC, and 8/12 (66.67%), 10/12 (83.33%), 4/12 (33.33%) and 6/12 (50%) showed high expression of ZNF750, EP300, MTOR and KMT2D, respectively by RNAscope. Multivariate analysis showed that MTOR expression was an independent infavorable prognostic factor of overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.921; P = 0.000). This study also found that 44/106 (4151%), 37/106 (34.91%), 39/106 (36.79%) of ESCC showed heterogeneous expression of ZNF750, EP300 and MTOR respectively by IHC, 8/12(66.67%), 8/12 (66.67%), 4/12 (33.33%), 4/12 (33.33%) of ZNF750, EP300, MTOR and KMT2D respectively by RNAscope, IHC and RNAscope could successfully detect a high prevalence of ITH. In conclusion, findings of this study showed that ZNF750, EP300, MTOR and KMT2D heterogeneously expressed in ESCC. High expression of ZNF750 related to a better outcome, while EP300 and MTOR related to a poor prognosis.
