ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) mRNA expression and its correlation with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in human colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 60 colorectal cancer samples were analyzed. The SSTR2 mRNA expression was examined by in situ hybridization (ISH) using multiphase oligoprobes. The PCNA were detected by immunohistochemical staining. A computerized image analysis system was utilized to estimate the relative contents of SSTR2 mRNA. Results The positive rate of expression of SSTR2 mRNA and relative contents in early and well-differentiated colorectal cancer were higher than those in advanced and poorly differentiated lesion. A negative correlation between SSTR2 mRNA expression and PCNA was found in colorectal cancer. Conclusion In the samples of colorectal cancer, the expression of SSTR2 mRNA is correlated with the degree of differentiation and clinical stage, and it plays an important role in reflecting the degree of malignancy and prognosis.
