Abstract:
Objective To investigate the potential roles of tumor necrosis factor -related apoptosis -indu-cing ligand(TRAIL)signaling system in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.Methods Immunohistochemistry tech-niques were used,the TRAIL and its receptor(TRAILR3,TRAILR4)protein were analyzed in both 41 colorectal cancer samples(colorectal cancer group)and normal samples beside cancer tissue(normal group).Results The lev-els of TRAIL and TRAILR3 protein expression in the colorectal cancer group were significantly lower than those in the normal group[(0.237 ±0.036)vs.(0.289 ±0.069);(0.226 ±0.052)vs.(0.281 ±0.068),t =4.125,4.025,all P <0.01],while the positive rate of them were nonsignificant difference between the two groups(88% vs.90%;95%vs.93%,χ2 =0.125,0.213,all P >0.05).The expression levels of them in the colorectal cancer group with poorl differentiation were notably lower than those with high -moderate differentiation[(0.205 ±0.021 )vs (0.245 ± 0.034);(0.185 ±0.032)vs (0.236 ±0.051),t =4.025,2.664,P <0.01,P <0.05],but they were not strongly correlated to lymph nodes metastasis[(0.235 ±0.035 )vs (0.241 ±0.338);(0.216 ±0.048)vs (0.231 ± 0.054),t =0.448,0.862,all P >0.05].Moreover,the positive rate and expression levels of TRAILR4 protein was non -statistic significant difference between the two groups[93% vs 98%;(0.196 ±0.085)vs (0.219 ±0.061),χ2 =1.051,t =1.353,all P >0.05],and it was also non -significantly correlated with cancer cell differentiation and lymph nodes metastasis[(0.176 ±0.052)vs (0.201 ±0.091);(0.194 ±0.054)vs (0.197 ±0.100),t =0.667, 0.448,all P >0.05].Conclusion The levels of TRAIL and TRAILR3 expression are attenuated at colorectal cancer tissue.The expression of them are correlated with cancer cell differentiation grade.These findings indicate that TRAIL system may be associated with the malignant phenotype in colorectal cancer.
