Expression of Axin in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study Axin expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenoma, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) polyp, and normal intestinal mucosa at mRNA and protein levels, and to explore the role of Axin in the pathogenesis of PJS. Methods The experiment samples, which were from the exsected normal mucosa, PJS polyps, adenomatous polyps and colorectal adenocarcinoma between Jan, 2001 and Mar, 2008 in Nanfang Hospital, each includes 32 sapamples. Immunohistochemistry was adopted to detect the Axin protein expression in each sample distinctively. Results transcriptase -polymerse chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detected and compare the Axin mRNA expression in 16 samples of each group. Results Of the tissues in each group, the positive Axin protein expression was located in the endochylema. The nomal mucosa group showed the most intensive expressive intensity, the olorectalc adenocarcinoma group was the least intensive, with significant difference in each group(P
