Relationship between quantitative detection of Tiam1 mRNA and invasion, metastasis and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between quantitative detection of T lymphoma invasion and metastasis inducing factor (Tiaml) mRNA and invasion,metastasis and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.Methods The quantitative expression of Tiam1 mRNA in cancer tissues in colorectal cancers (n =97),in tissues of colorectal adenomatous polyposis (n =49) and normal control (n =30) were detected with real-time fluorescence quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The relationship between the quantitative expression of Tiam1 mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues and the invasion,metastasis and the prognosis were analyzed.Results The levels of Tiam1 mRNA expression in the colorectal cancer group,were significantly higher than those in colorectal adenomatous polyposis group and normal controlgroup [(14.45±4.87)2-△△△Ct vs (3.77 ±3.15)2-△△Ct,(1.06 ±0.65)2-△△Ct,P ＜0.01].The levels of Tiam1 mRNA expression in the adenomatous polyposis with high grade intraepithelial neoplasia were signifiCantly higher than those in the adenomatous polyposis with low grade intraepithelial neoplasia [(5.26 ±2.45)2-△△Ct vs (3.78 ±2.19)2-△△Ct,P ＜0.01],which were both significantly higher than those in the adenomatous polyposis with no intraepithelial neoplasia [(2.13 ± 1.64)2-△△Ct,P ＜0.05 or P ＜ 0.01].The levels of Tiam1 mRNA expression in colorectal cancer group were positively related to the differentiated degree of tumor,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages and the postoperative recurrence (P ＜ 0.01),and were negatively related to the postoperative survival time (P ＜0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that levels of Tiam1 mRNA expression in cancer tissues were independent prognostic factor for colorectal cancer (Exp =4.043).Conclusions The high Tiam1 mRNA expression levels in cancer tissues are closely related to invasion,metastasis and poor prognosis of colorectal cancer,and may be a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer.The increase expression of Tiam1 mRNA in colorectal adenomatous polyposis may be related to colorectal tumorigenesis.
