Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and significance of CDX2,Ki-67 in adenoma and colorectal adenocarcinoma,and the correlation between CDX2 and Ki-67.MethodsThe expression of CDX2 and Ki-67 was evaluated in the colorectal adenocarcinoma,adenoma and normal colorectal mucosa as control subjects by immunohistochemistry.ResultsThe magnitude of CDX2 were negatively correlated with the level of dysplasia in adenoma(rs=-0.38,P =0.02),and negatively correlated with differentiation,lymph node metastasis,diversion and Dukes stage of cancer in colorectal adenocarcinoma(rs=-0.49,rs=-0.37,rs =- 0.38,rs =-0.37,P =0.01).The expression and relativity of Ki-67 in the samples were contrary to the CDX2.The levels of CDX2 and Ki-67 expression had significant difference between the adenoma and adenocarcinoma,and showed negatively correlation in this two type tissues (rs=-0.69,P =0.00; rs =-0.40,P =0.00).ConclusionsCDX2 may be used as an effective marker to evaluate malignancy degree and prognosis of large bowel neoplasm patient.The levels of Ki-67 expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma are correlated with malignancy degree and clinical stage.The expression of CDX2 is negatively correlated with Ki-67.Combined detection of CDX2 and Ki-67 may be helpful for the judgment of colorectal tumor biological characters.
