Abstract
Background: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer comprises Lynch syndrome and familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX). Differences in genetics, demographics and histopathology have been extensively studied. The purpose of this study is to characterize their immunoprofile of markers other than MMR proteins.
Methods: We compared the expression patterns of cytokeratins (CK7 and CK20), mucins (MUC2/5 AC/6), CDX2 and β-catenin in Lynch syndrome and FCCTX.
Results: Differences were identified for CK20 and nuclear β-catenin, which were significantly more often expressed in FCCTX than in Lynch syndrome (p < 0.001), whereas MUC2, MUC5AC and MUC6 were overexpressed in Lynch syndrome tumors compared with FCCTX tumors (p = 0.001, < 0.01, and < 0.001, respectively). We observed no differences in the expression patterns of CK7 and CDX2.
Conclusions: In summary, we identified significant differences in the immunoprofiles of colorectal cancers linked to FCCTX and Lynch syndrome with a more sporadic-like profile in the former group and a more distinct profile with frequent MUC6 positivity in the latter group.
背景:遗传性非息肉病性结直肠癌包括Lynch综合征和家族性结直肠癌X型(FCCTX)。遗传学、人口统计学和组织病理学方面的差异已被广泛研究。本研究的目的是表征除MMR蛋白外的其他标志物的免疫谱。方法:比较细胞角蛋白(CK7和CK20)、粘蛋白(MUC2/5 AC/6)、CDX2和β-catenin在Lynch综合征和FCCTX中的表达规律。结果:CK20和细胞核β-catenin在FCCTX中的表达明显高于Lynch综合征(p p = 0.001)。结论:综上所述,我们发现与FCCTX和Lynch综合征相关的结直肠癌的免疫谱存在显著差异,前者具有更散发性的特征,后者具有更明显的MUC6阳性特征。
