Relationship between mismatch repair protein, RAS, BRAF, PIK3CA gene expression and clinicopathological characteristics in elderly colorectal cancer patients
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in elderly patients. Mismatch repair (MMR) protein deletion is one of the causes of CRC. The RAS (KRAS/NRAS), BRAF, and PIK3CA genes are important gene targets in CRC treatment and are closely related to the prognosis and survival of patients. However, l...

description | BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in elderly patients. Mismatch repair (MMR) protein deletion is one of the causes of CRC. The RAS (KRAS/NRAS), BRAF, and PIK3CA genes are important gene targets in CRC treatment and are closely related to the prognosis and survival of patients. However, little is known regarding the relationship between the expression of MMR, RAS, BRAF, PIK3CA and the clinicopathological features in CRC patients. AIM: To analyze the relationship between the expression of MMR, RAS, BRAF, PIK3CA and the clinicopathological features in CRC. METHODS: A total of 327 elderly patients with CRC were enrolled, and immuno-histochemistry was used to detect the MMR protein. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the RAS (KRAS/NRAS), BRAF, and PIK3CA genes. The clinicopathological data of the patients were recorded and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 statistical software. RESULTS: In 327 elderly patients with CRC, the rate of MMR protein loss was 9.79% (32/327), and the deletion rate of four MMR proteins (MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS2) was 1.83% (6/327), 3.06% (10/327), 7.65% (25/327), and 7.65% (25/327), respectively. There were no significant differences between MMR protein deletion and sex, pathological type, tumor morphology, differentiation degree or lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05), but there was a significant difference between MMR protein deletion and tumor diameter and tumor location (P = 0.048/P = 0.000). The mutation rates of the KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA genes in elderly CRC patients were 44.95% (147/327), 2.45% (8/327), 3.36% (11/327) and 2.75% (9/327), respectively; the KRAS gene mutation was closely related to tumor morphology (P = 0.002) but not to other clinicopathological features (P > 0.05), and there were no significant differences between NRAS gene mutation and clinicopathological features (P > 0.05). The BRAF gene mutation showed a significant difference in pathological type, tumor location, differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), but was not correlated with sex, tumor size and tumor morphology (P > 0.05). The PIK3CA gene mutation showed no significant differences in the above clinicopathological characteristics (P > 0.05). Significant differences were observed between MMR protein deletion and KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA gene mutations in elderly CRC patients (P = 0.044, P = 0.000, P = 0.003, respectively), but there was no significant difference between MMR protein deletion and NRAS mutation (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: In elderly CRC patients, the tumor is mainly located in the right colon, and the deletion rate of MMR protein is higher when the tumor diameter is greater than or equal to 5 cm; the deletion rate of MLH1 and PMS2 is more common; the mutation rate of KRAS gene is higher than that of the NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA genes, the BRAF gene mutation has different degrees of correlation with clinicopathological characteristics; when the MMR protein is deleted, the BRAF and PIK3CA gene mutations are often present, and the KRAS gene mutation rate is low. |
