Expression of Fascin-1 Protein in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma and Relation with Its Clinicopathologic Characteristics / 中国普外基础与临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression of Fascin-1 protein in colorectal adenocarcinoma,and the relationship with its clinicopathologic features.Methods The expressions of Fascin-1 protein in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues of 60 cases,colorectal adenoma tissues of 30 cases and normal mucosa tissues (4 cm distance to neoplasm) of 30 cases were detected by Microwave-EliVisionTM immunohistochemistry method,and the relationship between the expression of Fascin-1 protein in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues and its clinicopathologic characteristics was analyzed.Results The expression of Fascin-1 protein was located in cytoplasm.The positive expression rates of Facsin-1 protein were 3.3% (1/30),30.0% (9/30) and 53.3% (32/60) in normal mucosa tissues,colorectal adenoma tissues and colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues,respectively.The expression of Fascin-1 was gradually increased in these three tissues,and there was statistical difference among the three tissues (P0.05).Conclusion The high expression of Fascin-1 protein is correlated to high invasion ability and lymph node metastasis,which can play as a sensitive index in predicting the invasion and metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.
