ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of EphA2 and E-eadherin in colorectal carcinoma.Methods The expression of EphA2 and E-eadherin in 67 cases of eoloreetal carcinoma and 28 cases of normal large intestine tissues were determined by immunohistochemieal method(S-P method),and their relationship to elinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The positive expression of EphA2 and negative expression of E-cadherin in colorectul carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than those in normal intestine tissues(P<0.01).F111e positive expression of EphA2 and negative expression of E-eadherin were positively correlated with tumor histological grade,invasive depth and lymph node metastasis(P<0.01 orP<0.05),but not correlated with tumor~ross type(P> O.05).The expression of EphA2 was negatively related with E-cadherin.Conclusions The abnormal expression of EphA2 and E-cadherin may be together involved in the development and progression of eolorectal carcinoma,It may be a good marker for monitoring the malignant degree and the prognosis of colorectal carcinoma by combining E-eadherin and EphA2.
