| Objective:To investigate the expression level of KLF5and the ectopic expression level of β-catenin in human normal colorectal tissueã€atypical hyperplasia and colorectal cancer tissue,and furthemore to study the difference amang them,and also the relationship between the degree of differentiationã€the depth of infiltrationã€lymphatic node metastasis or distant metastasis of colorectal cancer and the expression of KLf5or the ectopic expression of P-catenin in human colorectal cancer,and the correlation between KLF5with β-catenin. So as to provide a reference to diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer, and its treatment of research.Methods:We selected45surgical specimens of resected human colorectal cancerã€20normal colorectal tissue and20atypical hyperplasia tissue.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect KLF5and β-catenin in colorectal cancerã€normal colorectal tissue and atypical hyperplasia.Results:The expression positive rate of KLF5in colorectal cancer normal colorectal tissue and atypical hyperplasia is68.9%(31/45),35%(7/20),20%(4/20), respectively.The positive rate of KLF5in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than in normal colorectal tissue and atypical hyperplasia of colorectal, and the difference was of statistically significant (P<0.05); There is no significant difference between the expression positive rate of KLF5in normal colorectal tissue and that in atypical hyperplasia (P>0.05).The ectopic expression (in cell membrane or nucleus) positive rate of (3-catenin n in colorectal cancerã€normal colorectal tissue and atypical hyperplasia is77.8%(35/45),35%(7/20),15%(3/20).The ectopic positive rate of (3-catenin in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than in normal colorectal tissue and atypical hyperplasia tissue, and the difference was of statistically significant (P<0.05); There is no different berween the expression ectopic positive rate of β-catenin in normal colorectal tissue and atypical hyperplasia of colorectal(P>0.05).The expression positive rate of KLF5and the ectopic expression positive rate of β-catenin in different genderã€age and position of the tissue is of no significant difference (P>0.05),while their expression have relationship with the degree of differentiationã€the depth of infiltration,〠lymphatic node metastasisã€distant metastasis.The expression of KLF5and the ectopic expression of (3-catenin in colorectal cancer tissues are positively correlated (r=0.622, P<0.05).Conclusion:KLF5and (3-catenin are positively correlated and are expressed higher in colorectal cancer, their expression have relationship with the degree of differentiationã€the depth of infiltration, lymphatic node metastasisã€distant metastasis. The expression of KLF5and β-catenin in colorectal cancer maybe involved in the carcinogenesis and development of colorectal cancer.and may be an important tumor marker and an important indicator of prognosis. |
