Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between quantitative detection of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA in peripheral blood and metachronous liver metastasis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods The quantitative expression of hTERT mRNA in pre-and post-operative peripheral blood were detected with real-time fluorescence quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 168 patients with CRC and normal controls.The postoperative 3 years,prognosis of the CRC patients were followed-up.The relationship between peripheral blood hTERT mRNA expression levels and the metachronous liver metastasis and prognosis of CRC were analyzed.Results The hTERT mRNA expressions in preoperative,6 month postoperative peripheral blood in postoperative liver metastases group were significantly higher than those in the postoperative non-metachronous liver metastases group in the same term [(8.35 ± 5.86) (2-△ △Ct) vs (4.42 ± 2.88) (2-△ △Ct),(1.87 ± 1.85) (2-△ △Ct) vs (1.03 ± 0.92) (2-△△Ct),P ＜ 0.01].The hTERT mRNA expressions in preoperative peripheral blood of CRC group were positively related to the differentiated degree of tumor,tumor size,lymph node metastasis(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01),and were negatively related to the postoperative survival(P ＜ 0.01).Univariate analysis revealed that hTERT mRNA expressions in preoperative and 6 months postoperative peripheral blood were all correlated with postoperative liver metastases from CRC.Multivariate Cox analysis showed that they were independent risk factors for postoperative CRC liver metastases(EXP =4.282,9.171).The 3 year survival rate of the postoperative CRC liver metastases group was significantly lower than that of the postoperative non-CRC liver metastases group.Conclusions hTERT mRNA expressions in preoperative peripheral blood are related to the important pathologic feature,postoperative liver metastasis and prognosis of CRC.hTERT mRNA expressions in preoperative and 6 months postoperative peripheral blood might be a predictive biomarker for CRC metachronous liver metastases.The elevation of hTERT mRNA expression levels in postoperative peripheral blood were related to postoperative CRC liver metastasis.
