Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of IGF-1R and VEGFR2 in colorectal cancer tissue,and to explore its clinical significance. METHODS:Totally 98 colorectal cancer patients underwent surgery were selected from our hospital during Jan. 2011-Dec. 2012. The tumor tissue and paracancerous tissue were collected. The expression of IGF-1R and VEGFR2 protein were detect-ed by immunohistochemical SP method. The mRNA expression of both were detected by RT-PCR. The correlation of the expression of IGF-1R and VEGFR2 protein with clinical pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer patients were investigated,and its effects on 4-year disease-free survival rate of postoperative assisted chemotherapy patients were also investigated. RESULTS:The positive rates of IGF-1R and VEGFR2 protein expression in colorectal cancer tissue were 66.3％and 60.2％respectively,but their expression was not found in paracancerous tissue,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Relative expression of IGF-1R mRNA and VEGFR2 mRNA in tumor tissue were significantly higher than paracancerous tissue,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was positive correla-tion between their mRNA expression in tumor tissue(r=0.729,P<0.05). The expression of IGR-1R protein was independent from pa-tient's gender and age,tumor location and formation of vascular tumor thrombus(P>0.05);but it was associated with the histological grading,depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05). The expression of VEGFR2 protein had nothing to do with patient's gender and age(P>0.05),but it was associated with tumor location,histological grading,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis, and formation of vascular tumor thrombus(P<0.05). Among 98 colorectal cancer patients,14 patients didn't underwent chemothera-py after surgery;and 4-year disease-free survival rate of other 84 patients was 76.2％(64/84). Four-year disease-free survival rates of TGF-1R protein negative expression and VEGFR2 protein negative expression patients(82.8％,78.8％)were significantly higher than those of positive expression patients(72.7％,74.5％),with statistical significance(P<0.05). The multiple factor Logistic regression analysis was used to correct gender,age,histological grading,tumor location,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,and forma-tion of vascular tumor thrombus;the expression of IGR-1R and VEGFR2 protein were still associated with 4-year disease-free survival rate [adjusted OR were 2.31,2.15;95％CI were(0.57,4.15),(0.45,4.03);P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS:The expression of IGF-1R, VEGFR2 protein and mRNAs increase significantly in colorectal cancer tissue;the protein expression is associated with histological grading,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis and the prognosis of postoperative assisted chemotherapy patients. Their examina-tion can provide reference for target therapy for colorectal cancer patients.
