Abstract
AIM: To investigate the clinicopathological significance of expression of B-cell-specific moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site 1 (Bmi-1) and myc-induced nuclear antigen with a molecular mass of 53 kDa (Mina53) in colorectal carcinoma.
METHODS: The expression of Bmi-1 and Mina53 proteins was detected by immunohistochemistry in 56 colorectal cancer samples and matched tumor-adjacent normal tissue samples. The correlation between the expression of these proteins and the clinicopathologic features of colorectal carcinoma was analyzed.
RESULTS: The positive rates of Bmi-1 expression and Mina53 in colorectal cancer were significantly higher than those in matched tumor-adjacent normal tissue (80.4% vs 35.7%, 73.2% vs 19.6%, χ2 = 22.913, 32.308, P < 0.05 for both). Expression of Bmi-1 and Mina53 was significantly associated with tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and tumor infiltration depth in colorectal carcinoma (P < 0.05 for all), but not with age or gender (P > 0.05 for both). A positive correlation was noted between the expression of Bmi-1 and that of Mina53 in colorectal carcinoma (r = 0.296, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: High expression of Bmi-1 and Mina53 proteins may participate in the occurrence, progression and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma. Combined detection of the expression of these proteins is helpful to the diagnosis and evaluation of the prognosis of colorectal carcinoma.
