Objective To investigate the expressions of P53,topoisomeraseⅡ(TopoⅡ)and multidrug resistance associated protein(MRP)in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with chronic schistosomiasis.Method The retrospective case-control study was adopted.The clinicopathological data of 338 colorectal cancer patients who were admitted to the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2008 and December 2010 were collected.Cancer tissue specimens from surgical resection were collected.Among 338 patients,80 were combined with chronic schistosomiasis and 258 were combined with non-chronic schistosomiasis.The expressions of P53,TopoⅡand MRP were dectected using immunohistochemistry(IHC).Ranked data were presented as percentage and analyzed using the non-parametric test.Results The negative,weak positive,positive and strong positive expressions of P53 were respectively 5.00％(4/80),87.50％(70/80),3.75％(3/80),3.75％(3/80)in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with chronic schistosomiasis and 28.68％(74/258),19.38％(50/258),16.67％(43/258),35.27％(91/258)in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with non-chronic schistosomiasis,with a statistically significant difference(Z=-2.962,P＜0.05).The negative,weak positive,positive and strong positive expressions of TopoⅡwere respectively 8.75％(7/80),51.25％(41/80),22.50％(18/80),17.50％(14/80)in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with chronic schistosomiasis and 12.01％(31/258),55.43％(143/258),22.48％(58/258),10.08％(26/258)in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with non-chronic schistosomiasis,with no statistically significant difference(Z=-1.551,P＞0.05).The negative,weak positive,positive and strong positive expressions of MRP were respectively 7.50％(6/80),40.00％(32/80),28.75％(23/80),23.75％(19/80)in issues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with chronic schistosomiasis and 24.42％(63/258),38.37％(99/258),24.03％(62/258),13.18％(34/258)in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with non-chronic schistosomiasis,with a statistically significant difference(Z=-3.408,P＜0.05).Conclusion There are abnormal expressions of P53 and MRP in tissues of colorectal cancer of patients combined with chronic schistosomiasis,which may be involved in the hypothetical mechanism of chronic schistosomiasis inducing carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression difference of DNA mismatch repair gene hMLH1 and hMSH2 between schistosomiasis-associated colorectal cancer and sporadic colorectal cancer.

METHODClinical and pathological data of colorectal cancer patients receiving operations in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2008 and December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into schistosomiasis group(n=80) and sporadic group (n=258) according to the preoperative history and pathologic results. Pathological specimens were collected and tissue chips were made to analyze the expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2 by immunohistochemistr.

RESULTSCompared with sporadic group, older age [(62.2 ± 9.6) year vs. (57.2 ± 11.7) year, P=0.000)], lower platelet level [(197.0 ± 59.6) × 10(9)/L vs. (217.0 ± 84.3) × 10(9)/L, P=0.02] and lower WBC level [(5.9 ± 1.9) × 10(9)/L vs. (6.6 ± 2.8) × 10(9)/L, P=0.02] were found in schistosomiasis group. Ratio of low differentiation-undifferentiation tumor was significantly higher in schistosomiasis group [44.2% (34/77) vs. 4.9% (12/247), P<0.05]. Lower positive rate of hMLH1 expression [77.5% (62/80) vs. 98.1% (253/258), P=0.000] and hMSH2 expression [75.0% (60/80) vs. 95.3% (246/258), P=0.000] was found in schistosomiasis group compared with sporadic group. Concurrent schistosomiasis was one of the risk factors of hMLH1/hMSH2 deficiency (RR: 0.913, 95% CI: 0.836-0.997, P=0.043), but not an independent factor (RR: 0.951, 95% CI: 0.867-1.043, P=0.286).

CONCLUSIONSchistosomiasis is associated with lower positive expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2, which indicates that hMLH1/hMSH2 deficiency may be a potential mechanism of schistosomiasis inducing carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer.
