Abstract:
Objective To study Twist,E-CD expression in colorectal cancer tissues and its relationship with colorectal cancer invasion,metastasis and prognosis.Methods Immunohistochemical staining (EnVision) was used to detect E-CD,Twist expression of normal colon mucosa in 30 cases,colorectal adenoma in 30 cases and colorectal cancer tissues in 142 cases.Chi-square、Fisher's and Spearman test were used to analyze E-CD and Twist protein expression,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate COX regression were used to analyze prognosis of patients.Results E-CD in the normal mucosa were positively expressed in 90％ cases,which was significantly higher than that in colorectal adenomas (63％) (P =0.046) and colorectal cancer tissues (42％) (P =0.000).E-CD expression was related to tumor differentiation (P =0.048),invasion depth (P =0.000),vein (P =0.000) and lymph vessel invasions (P =0.030),lymph node metastasis (P =0.001) and Dukes' stage (P =0.016),but not related to patient's age(P =0.174),gender(P =0.159),tumor size (P =0.628) and tumor histological type (P =0.153).1,3,5 year survival rate in patients with positive E-CD expression was significantly higher than that in patients with negative expression (P =0.000).Positive expression rate of Twist in colorectal cancer tissues (68％) was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa (20％,P =0.000) and colorectal adenomas (30％,P =0.000).Twist expression was related to tumor histological type (P =0.000),differentiation(P =0.000),invasion depth(P =0.000),vein(P =0.000) and lymph vessel invasions(P =0.000),lymph node metastasis(P =0.010) and Dukes' stage(P =0.000).1,3,5 year's survival rate of Twist-negative expression patients was significantly higher than that in patients with positive expression (P =0.000).E-CD and Twist in colorectal cancer tissues were negatively correlated (r =-0.530,P =0.000).COX multivariate analysis shows that vein invasion (P =0.045),lymph node metastasis (P =0.040),Dukes' stage (P =0.000),E-CD (P =0.003) and Twist (P =0.031) were independent prognostic indicators.Conclusions E-CD and Twist expression in colorectal cancer are related to tumor invasion,metastasis and prognosis.Low E-CD expression and high Twist expression are related to poor prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.
