Abstract

The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in the early stages of colorectal cancer (CRC) is still disappointing and the prediction of treatment outcome quite difficult. Recently, through a transcriptomic approach, we evidenced a role of PNN and KCNQ1OT1 gene expression in predicting response to fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III CRC patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to validate in an independent cohort of stages IIIII CRC patients our previous findings. PNN and KCNQ1OT1 mRNA expression levels were evaluated in 74 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor and matched normal mucosa samples obtained by stages IIIII CRC patients treated with fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy. PININ, the protein encoded by PNN, was immunohistochemically evaluated in 15 tumor and corresponding normal mucosa samples, selected on the basis of a low, medium, or high mRNA expression tumor/mucosa ratio. PNN and KCNQ1OT1 mRNA mean expression levels were significantly higher in tumor compared with normal tissues. Patients with high PNN or KCNQ1OT1 tumor mRNA levels according to ROC-based cutoffs showed a shorter disease-free survival (DFS) compared with patients with low tumor mRNA gene expression. Also, patients with tumor...Continue Reading
