Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression patterns and significance of aquaporin 5 (AQP‐5) and multidrug‐resistance associated genes in human colon cancer with different differentiation degree and their correlation .Methods The expression of aqua‐porin 5 and resistance genes P‐gp ,GST‐π,TopoⅡ ,and TS in human 45 cases colon cancer tissues with different differentiation de‐gree and 36 cases of adjacent mucosa tissues as well as 58 cases of normal colonic epithelium were detected by quantitative RT‐PCR ,Western blot and immunohistochemistry .Results Immunohistochemistry results showed that AQP‐5 distributed mainly in the cell membrane and the cytoplasm .Fluorescence quantitative RT‐PCR and Western blot showed that AQP‐5 expression could not be detected in adjacent mucosa tissues and normal colonic epithelium tissues .The AQP‐5 expression level was higher in colon cancer tissues compared with adjacent mucosa tissues and normal colonic epithelium tissues (P<0 .05) ,and the expression intensity was correlated with the differentiation degree of colon cancer tissues (P<0 .05) .The results of immunohistochemistry indicated that P‐gp distributed mainly in the cell membrane and the cytoplasm ,GST‐πmainly distributed in the nuclei and cytoplasm ,Topo Ⅱ main‐ly distributed in the nucleus ,and TS distributed mainly in the cytoplasm .Fluorescence quantitative RT‐PCR and Western blot re‐sults showed that the expression levels of all resistance genes detected were higher in colon cancer tissues compared with adjacent mucosa tissues and normal colonic epithelium tissues (P<0 .05) .Furthermore ,P‐gp ,GST‐π,and Topo Ⅱ expression were negative‐ly correlated with the differentiation degree of colon cancer tissues ,the more poor differentiation level of tissue ,the higher expres‐sion level of P‐gp ,GST‐π ,Topo Ⅱ .However ,the expression level of TS did not change significantly in different differentiation de‐gree colon cancer tissues (P>0 .05) .Positive correlation was found between the expression of AQP‐5 and P‐gp ,GST‐π,Topo Ⅱ(P<0 .05) .Negative correlation was found between the expression of AQP‐5 and TS (P>0 .05) .Conclusion The AQP‐5 and re‐sistance gene expression were increased in colon cancer tissues .The AQP‐5 expression level was higher in colon cancer compared with adjacent control or normal tissues ,which may promote the transfer and progress of colon cancer .
