DNA repair failure is known to be a critical event during carcinogenesis of colorectal cancers. To investigate whether O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is altered during colorectal carcinogenesis, we performed immunohistochemical staining on 265 sporadic colorectal cancers, 113 sporadic adenomas, 33 familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) colorectal cancers, and 93 FAP adenomas. Sixty-seven of 265 sporadic colorectal cancer cases and five of 113 sporadic adenoma cases showed loss of MGMT expression (P < 0.001). Among FAP patients, four of 33 cancers and six of 93 adenomas showed loss of MGMT protein expression. When we compared the association between MGMT promoter hypermethylation and protein expression, almost all cases without a methylated allele were positive for the expression of MGMT. In contrast, cases with promoter methylation frequently showed loss of MGMT expression (P < 0.01). Loss of MGMT was correlated with some clinicopathological characteristics, i.e., tumor invasion (P = 0.013) and stage (P = 0.035) in sporadic colorectal cancer, and degree of atypism (P = 0.042) in sporadic adenoma. Our results show that loss of expression of MGMT occurs more frequently in cancer than in adenoma in both sporadic and FAP patients, and that loss of expression of MGMT is associated with hypermethylation of the promoter area of MGMT gene.  相似文献

The aim is to study the serum protein fingerprint of patients with laryngeal carcinoma (LC) and to screen for protein molecules closely related to LC during the onset and progression of the disease with surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS). Serum samples from 68 patients with LC and 117 non-cancer control samples (75 healthy volunteers and 42 Vocal fold polyps). Q10 protein chips and PBSII-C protein chips reader (Ciphergen Biosystems Inc.) were used. The protein fingerprint expression of all the Serum samples and the resulting profiles between cancer and non-cancer groups were analyzed with Biomarker Wizard system. A group of proteomic peaks were detected. Three differently expressed potential biomarkers were identified with the relative molecular weights of 5,915, 6,440 and 9,190 Da. Among the three peaks, the one with m/z 6,440 was down-regulated, and the other two peaks with m/z 5,915 and 9,190 were up-regulated in LC. This diagnostic model could distinguish LC patients from controls with a sensitivity of 92.1% and a specificity of 91.9%. Moreover, blind test data showed a sensitivity of 86.7% and a specificity of 89.1%. The data suggested that SELDI technology could be used to screen proteins with altered expression levels in the serum of LC patients. These protein peaks were considered as specific serum biomarkers of LC and have the potential value for further investigation.  相似文献

Colorectal adenomas and carcinomas from familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients were screened for the presence of K-ras gene mutations at codon 12 using an in vitro amplification step (polymerase chain reaction) followed by dot blot analysis using oligonucleotide probes specific for different mutations at codon 12. We examined 28 colorectal adenomas and two colorectal carcinomas from 12 FAP patients and observed a mutation at codon 12 in seven adenomas and in both carcinomas. The frequency of K-ras gene mutations in colorectal tumours from FAP patients is similar to those in cases of sporadic adenomas and sporadic colorectal carcinomas indicating that the mechanisms involved in their development may be similar.  相似文献

The hydrolysis of sphingomyelin generates key molecules regulating cell growth and inducing apoptosis. Data from animal cancer models support an inhibitory role for this pathway in the malignant transformation of the colonic mucosa. In the intestinal tract, a sphingomyelinase with an optimum alkaline pH has been identified. We recently found that the activity of alkaline sphingomyelinase is significantly decreased in colorectal adenocarcinomas, indicating a potential anticarcinogenic role of this enzyme. To further examine whether the reduction of sphingomyelinase is present already in the premalignant state of neoplastic transformation, we measured sphingomyelinase activities in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and in sporadic colorectal tubulovillous adenomas. Tissue samples were taken from adenomas and surrounding macroscopically normal mucosa from 11 FAP patients operated with ileorectal anastomosis, from three FAP patients with intact colon, from 13 patients with sporadic colorectal adenomas and from 12 controls. Activities of acid, neutral and alkaline sphingomyelinase were measured together with alkaline phosphatase. In FAP adenoma tissue, alkaline sphingomyelinase activity was reduced by 90% compared to controls (P < 0.0001), acid sphingomyelinase by 66% (P < 0.01) and neutral sphingomyelinase by 54% (P < 0.05). Similar reductions were found in the surrounding mucosa. In sporadic adenoma tissue, only alkaline sphingomyelinase was reduced significantly, by 57% (P < 0.05). Alkaline phosphatase was not changed in FAP adenomas, but decreased in the sporadic adenomas. We conclude that the markedly reduced levels of alkaline sphingomyelinase activities in FAP adenomas and in the surrounding mucosa may be a pathogenic factor that can lead to unrestrained cell proliferation and neoplastic transformation.  相似文献
