Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of APE1 in the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Methods Expression of APE1 was determined with SP immunohistochemical technique in 40 specimens of normal colorectal mucosa, 60 specimens of colorectal mucosa adjacent to CRC, 72 specimens of colorectal adenoma, and 125 specimens of colorectal carcinoma. Results In normal colorectal mucosa, APE1 was detected in nuclei of epithelial cells. Shift of APE1 from nucleus to cytoplasm was observed in 6 of 60 (10%) specimens of mucosa adjacent to cancer. Such shift was observed in 92 of 125 (73.6%) CRC tissues and 60 of 72 (83.3%) colorectal adenoma, the incidence of both of them was significantly higher than that observed in normal colorectal mucosa and colorectal mucosa adjacent to CRC (P
