Methods: A total of 60 patients with colon cancer who underwent radical operation in our hospital between August 2015 and August 2017 were selected, intraoperative colon cancer tissue samples were collected as colon cancer group, and normal tissue specimens adjacent to carcinoma were collected as adjacent tissue group. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was adopted to determine the expression levels of SphK1, FAK, Musashi 1, CA199 as well as the genes related to angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in colon tissues with different properties. Results: SphK1, FAK, Musashi 1 and CA199 mRNA expression in colon cancer group were higher than those in adjacent tissue group;angiogenesis-related genes ANGPTL4, Apelin-13, DLL1, VEGF and HIF-α mRNA expression were higher than those in adjacent tissue group whereas TSP-1 mRNA expression was lower than that in adjacent tissue group;epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related gene E-cadherin mRNA expression was lower than that in adjacent tissue group whereas Vimentin, N-cadherin, Twist and Snail mRNA expression were higher than those in adjacent tissue group. Correlation analysis showed that the SphK1, FAK, Musashi 1 and CA199 expression in colon cancer tissues were directly correlated with the angiogenesis genes and epithelial-mesenchymal transition genes. Conclusion: SphK1, FAK, Musashi 1 and CA199 genes are abnormally expressed in colon cancer tissues and their expression levels are directly correlated with tumor angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition process.展开更多
