Abstract
AIM: To explore the expression of Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 in colon cancer and colon adenoma.
METHODS: The expression of Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 in 100 colon cancer tissues and 100 colon adenoma tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Correlations between Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 expression and between their expression and clincopatholgical parameters were investigated using Spearman correlation analysis.
RESULTS: The expression of Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 had no significant correlation with age, sex, tumor differentiation or infiltration (P > 0.05). The positive expression rates of Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 differed significantly between the lymph node metastasis group (18.18%, 31.82%, and 90.91%, respectively) and non-lymph node metastasis group (52.56%, 89.74%, and 61.54%, respectively) and between Duke's stage A-B (52.56%, 89.74%, and 61.54%, respectively) and C-D (18.18%, 31.82%, and 90.91%, respectively) (P < 0.05). The positive expression rates of Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 were 45.00%, 77.00% and 68.00%, respectively, in colon cancer tissues and 83.00%, 49.00% and 26.00%, respectively, in adenoma tissues (P < 0.01). The expression of P53 was positively correlated with that of Caspase3 (r = 0.315, P < 0.01), but negatively correlated with that of Ki-67 (r = -0.302, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Caspase3, P53 and Ki-67 are all involved in the development and progression of colon cancer, and combined detection of their expression can help determine the invasion, metastasis and prognosis of this malignancy.
