چکیده

Previous studies have shown that S100P contributes to the development of a number of tumors. However, its prognostic significance in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been demonstrated. This study aimed to confirm the expression of S100P in colorectal cancer as well as the epigenetic mechanism underlying its gene expression, and to demonstrate whether S100P could be used to predict prognosis as a biomarker. We tested the expression of S100P in 96 CRCs and their paired tissue controls, as well as 13 colon cancer cell lines by RT-PCR and western blotting. Expression of the S100P protein and mRNA was significantly higher in cancerous regions compared to that in paired non-cancerous tissues (P=4.59 x 10(-17), 0.005 respectively). The expression was significantly correlated with the hypomethylation of the S100P promoter (P=4.92 x 10(-5)), which was detected by bisulphite sequencing PCR (BSP) and quantitative methylation-specific real-time PCR (QMSP). In stages I to III, the patients with positive expression of S100P protein showed poorer overall survival compared to those with S100P negative expression, P=0.031. We also measured the preoperative serum S100P levels by ELISA. The patients with normal serum levels of S100P showed favorable prognosis compared with patients with elevated S100P levels (P=0.008). These data suggest that S100P protein may be a potential novel prognostic biomarker in CRC patients.

Is Bax/Bcl-2 Ratio Considered as a Prognostic Marker with Age and Tumor Location in Colorectal Cancer?

Background: Bax and Bcl-2 are the major members of Bcl-2 family whose play a key role in tumor progression or inhibition of intrinsic apoptotic pathway triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic members of this family can determine the cellular fate. Methods: In this study, the relative level of mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 genes was deter...

Interplay between Trx‐1 and S100P promotes colorectal cancer cell epithelial–mesenchymal transition by up‐regulating S100A4 through AKT activation

We previously reported a novel positive feedback loop between thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) and S100P, which promotes the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined the roles of Trx-1 and S100P in CRC epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and their underlying mechanisms. We observed that knoc...

Long Non-coding RNA ZEB1-AS1 Promotes Tumorigenesis and Metastasis in Colorectal Cancer

Emerging evidence implicates that a large fraction of human genome was transcribed but the transcripts known as long non coding RNA are not translated into proteins. They are contributing in different cellular processes, including cellular proliferation and apoptosis. LncRNAs were found to play critical roles in many diseases and act as key regulators in malignancies. In this study, we investig...
