              expression in tissue sections from 121 patients with ESCC. Cox proportional survival risk model was enrolled to analyze the survival
              risk factors of ESCC patients,and multivariate correlation analysis was used for the analysis of the association of HMGCS1 with the
              clinicopathology of ESCC patients. Furthermore,Kaplan ⁃ Meier analysis was employed to analyze the effect of HMGCS1 on the
              prognosis of ESCC patients. The migration and invasion ability of ESCC cells were detected by scratch and Transwell. Results:We
              identified 45 significantly up⁃regulated and 51 down⁃regulated(including HMGCS1)proteins in the tumor tissues of patients with lung
              metastasis,compared with those without metastasis. GEPIA verified that HMGCS1 was down⁃regulated in esophageal cancer. Western
              blot and qPCR results further validated that HMGCS1 expression in ESCC cells was significantly lower than that in normal esophageal
              epithelium. Immunohistochemical staining of 121 patients with ESCC confirmed that the expression of HMGCS1 in ESCC was
              significantly lower than that in normal esophageal tissues. Additionally,the expression of HMGCS1 in patients with lymph node
              metastasis was significantly lower than that in patients without lymph node metastasis(P < 0.05). Cox survival risk analysis showed
              that T stage[HR:2.118(1.020~4.399)],lymph node metastasis[HR:2.127(1.466~5.584)]and low HMGCS1 expression were risk
              factors[HR:0.413(0.211~0.807)]for survival of ESCC. Multivariate correlation analysis indicated that HMGCS1 expression was
              significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis. Kaplan ⁃ Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with low HMGCS1
              expression had a poor prognosis. Furthermore,we found that overexpression of HMGCS1 markedly inhibited the migration and invasion
              ability of ESCC cells(P < 0.05). Conclusion:HMGCS1 could suppress the metastasis of ESCC cells and its expression was positively
              correlated with the prognosis of ESCC patients.
