Abstract:
Background:Fanconi anemia( FA ),an autosomal or x-linked recessive inherited disease,is caused by gene mutation related to FA pathway of DNA damage and with the clinical features of congenital malformation,bone marrow failure and susceptibility to cancer. Aims:To investigate the expression of Fanconi anemia complementation group D2 (FANCD2)in colorectal cancer and its correlation with prognosis. Methods:Fifty-six surgical resected specimens of colorectal cancer tissue and para-cancer noncancerous tissue from May 2012 to September 2013 at Guangzhou First People’s Hospital were obtained. Ninety-three patients with colorectal cancer from January 2008 to April 2009 at Guangzhou First People ’s Hospital were enrolled and the specimens of colorectal cancer tissue were obtained. The expression of FANCD2 mRNA in 56 specimens of colorectal cancer tissue and para-cancer noncancerous tissue was determined by qPCR. The expression of FANCD2 protein in 49 of 56 specimens of colorectal cancer tissue and para-cancer noncancerous tissue and 93 specimens of colorectal cancer tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. Follow up was conducted in 93 patients and the correlation between the expression of FANCD2 and prognosis was analyzed. Results:Expression of FANCD2 mRNA was significantly higher in colorectal cancer tissue than that in para-cancer noncancerous tissue [0.102(0.047,0. 163)vs. 0. 051(0. 025,0. 095)](P =0. 007). Expression of FANCD2 mRNA was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage( P <0. 05 ). Positivity rates of FANCD2 protein expression in colorectal cancer tissue and para-cancer noncancerous tissue were 77. 6%(38/49)and 22. 4%(11/49),respectively. Expression of FANCD2 protein was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage(P<0. 05). The overall 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in patients with positive expression of FANCD2 protein than that in patients with negative expression of FANCD2 protein(35. 5% vs. 71. 0%)(P<0. 01). Conclusions:FANCD2 is associated with malignant potential of colorectal cancer and could be a potential marker for prognosis.
