Abstract:
Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in colorectal carcinoma tissues.Methods The expression of pAKT and PTEN were detected by immunohistochemical SP method in 112 case of colorectal carcinomas tissue.Results The positive rates of pAKT and PTEN expression were 79.5 % (89/112) and 47.3 % (53/112) in colorectal cancerous tissues,respectively,which showed a statistically significance when compared with those in adjacent normal and adenoma tissues.The positive rate of pAKT expression was closely related with the invasive depth,clinical staging and lymph node metastasis of colorectal carcinomas.The positive expression of PTEN was also closely related with the invasive depth,degree of differentiation,clinical staging and lymph node metastasis of colorectal carcinomas.The expressions of pAKT and PTEN were negative correlaed.Conclusion The results showed that the expression of pAKT and PTEN were closely related with progression and metastasis of colorectal carcinomas,which may provide a new therapeutic target for colorectal carcinomas by blocking PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
