METHODS: We utilized a population-based casecontrol study of incident colon cancer individuals (n= 421) and controls (n = 483) aged ≥ 30 years to conduct a comprehensive tagSNP association analysis of the PTEN gene. RESULTS: None of the PTEN SNPs were statistically significantly associated with colon cancer when controlled for age, gender, and race, or when additionally adjusted for other known risk factors (P > 0.05). Haplotype analyses similarly showed no association between the PTEN gene and colon cancer. CONCLUSION: Our study does not support PTEN as a colon cancer susceptibility gene.展开更多

Visualized polyps were excised and sent for pathological examination. Advanced adenoma was defined as a lesion >10 mm in diameter, with high-grade dysplasia or villous histology. The results were compared with those of an age- and gender-matched random sample of healthy adults undergoing routine screening at the ICPC.RESULTS: There were 270 pilots(mean age 55.2 ± 7.4 years) and 1150 controls(mean age 55.7 ± 7.8 years). The prevalence of colorectal neoplasms was 15.9% among the pilots and 20.6% among the controls(P = 0.097, χ2 test). There were significantly more hyperplastic polyps among pilots(15.5% vs 9.4%, P = 0.004) and a trend towards fewer adenomas(14.8% vs 20.3% P = 0.06). The prevalence of advanced lesions among pilots and control groups was 5.9% and 4.7%, respectively(P = 0.49), and the prevalence of cancer was 0.7% and 0.69%, respectively(P = 0.93).CONCLUSION: There tends to be a lower colorectal adenoma, advanced adenoma and cancer prevalence but a higher hyperplastic polyp prevalence among pilots than the general population.展开更多

The different ethnic backgrounds could be related to different susceptibility to Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The aim of our study was to assess the whole of genetic ancestry in HPV status in OPSCC patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on patients with OPSCC admitted to the Barretos Cancer Hospital, Brazil from 2014 to 2019. Of these, DNA extraction was performed on 40 patients and genetic ancestry was assessed using a specific panel of 46 informative ancestry markers. Results: We observed a predominance of European ancestry (63%), followed by African (18%), Amerindian (9%) and Asian (8%) both in the OPSCC HPV-positive and HPV-negative group. We did not find any statistically significant differences between the HPV-positive and HPV-negative OPSCC groups in relation to European (p = 0.499), African (p = 0.448), Asian (p = 0.275) or Amerindian (p = 0.836) ancestry. Conclusions: We found a predominance of European ancestry, both in the HPV-positive and HPV-negative groups. In our study, we did not find statistically significant differences between HPV-positive or HPV-negative groups in relation to ancestry.展开更多

文摘目的:研究溶质载体家族6成员9(solute carrier family 6 member 9,SLC6A9)表达对结直肠癌细胞增殖、迁移和5-氟尿嘧啶(5-fluorouracil,5-FU)药物敏感性的影响。方法:TCGA数据库分析、实时荧光定量PCR和Western blot分析检测SLC6A9在结肠癌组织、正常结肠细胞系(NCM460)和结直肠癌细胞系(SW620、HCT116、HT29、Lovo和SW480)中的表达。将SCL6A9过表达质粒及阴性对照(SLC6A9 OE、Vector)转染HT29细胞,将SCL6A9小干扰RNA及阴性对照(SLC6A9 siRNA1#、siRNA2#和Scramble)转染SW620细胞。划痕愈合实验和Transwell实验检测各组细胞的迁移、侵袭能力。Western blot和细胞免疫荧光检测EMT相关蛋白E-cadherin、Vimentin的表达水平。利用CCK-8法和构建裸鼠移植瘤模型检测SLC6A9过表达对结直肠癌细胞5-FU药物敏感性的影响。结果:与正常结肠组织和NCM460细胞相比,SLC6A9在结肠癌组织和结直肠癌细胞系中低表达(均P<0.05)。SLC6A9过表达引起E-cadherin蛋白表达增加,Vimentin蛋白水平降低,抑制结直肠癌细胞的迁移、侵袭(P<0.05)。SLC6A9低表达引起E-cadherin蛋白表达降低,Vimentin蛋白水平增加,促进结直肠癌细胞的迁移、侵袭能力(P<0.05)。SLC6A9过表达提高了5-FU的药物敏感性,并使肿瘤生长缓慢,质量减轻(P<0.05)。而SLC6A9低表达降低了5-FU的药物敏感性(P<0.05)。结论:SLC6A9过表达能够抑制结直肠癌细胞的迁移、侵袭和EMT进程,并增强5-FU对结直肠癌细胞的药物敏感性。
文摘目的探讨热休克蛋白90α(heat shock protein 90α,Hsp90α)在结肠癌中的表达及潜在的临床价值。方法采用生物信息学和免疫组化法分析结肠癌中Hsp90α的表达水平,及其与临床病理学特征、预后和免疫细胞浸润水平的关系;采用CCK-8细胞增殖实验和平板克隆实验检测敲除Hsp90AA1前后结肠癌细胞的增殖能力。结果生物信息学分析结果显示,Hsp90AA1在结肠癌组织中异常高表达,其表达水平越高,患者预后越差;Hsp90AA1表达与CD4^(+)T细胞(Th2)、CD8^(+)T细胞、髓样抑制细胞、Tregs细胞、中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞、M1巨噬细胞、M2巨噬细胞的浸润水平呈正相关;免疫组化结果显示结肠癌组织中Hsp90α表达明显高于癌旁正常组织,Hsp90α表达与患者性别、肿瘤大小、位置、分化程度、TNM分期、淋巴结转移、脉管癌栓、神经侵犯、远处转移等无关(P>0.05),与结肠癌患者年龄具有相关性(P<0.05)。Hsp90α高表达是影响结肠癌患者预后的独立危险因素。细胞实验结果显示,敲除Hsp90AA1可抑制结肠癌细胞的生长及增殖能力。结论Hsp90α在结肠癌中高表达,可能是结肠癌预后不良的潜在分子学标志物。
文摘目的:比较腹腔镜与开腹手术治疗T_(3)~T_(4a)期结肠癌围术期疗效及远期生存情况。方法:选取2018年1月1日至2019年12月31日采用腹腔镜与开腹手术治疗的T_(3)~T_(4a)期结肠癌患者,分为腹腔镜组(n=102)与开腹组(n=43),分析两组围手术期资料、术后并发症、总生存期、无瘤生存期、1年与3年生存率及无瘤生存率、总生存率、总无瘤生存率、肿瘤复发转移情况。结果:两组患者基线资料差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。腹腔镜组术中出血量少于开腹组[50.00(20.00,50.00)mL vs. 50.00(50.00,100.00)mL,P<0.001],获取淋巴结数量多于开腹组[17.00(14.00,22.00)枚vs. 14.00(11.00,20.00)枚,P=0.018],术后恢复进食时间[3.00(3.00,4.00)d vs. 4.00(3.00,6.00)d,P<0.001]、排气时间[3.00(3.00,3.00)d vs. 4.00(3.00,5.00)d,P<0.001]短于开腹组,术后总体并发症与不完全肠梗阻发生率低于开腹组(32.35%vs. 51.16%,3.92%vs. 16.28%,P<0.05)。两组术后1年、3年生存率及无瘤生存率、总生存率、总无瘤生存率、肿瘤复发转移率差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。在T_(4a)亚组中,腹腔镜组与开腹组的各项生存指标差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:腹腔镜手术治疗T_(3)~T_(4a)期结肠癌是安全、可行的,更利于术后恢复,可取得与开腹手术相当的肿瘤治疗效果。
