Close Correlation between Telomerase Expression and Adenomatous Polyp Progression in Multistep Colorectal Carcinogenesis1

چکیده
To investigate the role of telomerase in the multistep Colorectal carcinogenesis, we examined telomerase activity in 31 adenomatous polyps and 22 paired cancer-normal mucosa specimens from non-hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer patients. Telomerase activity was detected in 18% of normal mucosa, 16% of small «1.0 cm) polyps, 20% of intermediate polyps, 71% of large (>2.0 cm) polyps, and 96% of adenocarcinoma samples (/' for trend, <0.0001). High-level enzyme activities were seen in none of the normal mucosa, 5% of small polyps, 20% of intermediate polyps, 43% of large polyps, and 73% of adenocarcinoma samples (/' for trend, <0.0001). These data indicate telomerase reactivation occurs with adenomatous polyp progression in multistep colorectal carcinogenesis.

متن کاملEvaluation of miR-330-3p and BMI1 Expression in Colorectal Cancer Patients, Healthy Adjacent Tissues, and Polypoid Adenomatous Lesions
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as essential gene expression regulators associated with human diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of miR-330-3p and its target gene BMI1 in tissue samples of patients with CRC, polyp, and healthy adjacent tissue samples and their association with clinicopathological and demographic factors such as age...
متن کاملTelomerase activity and telomere length in the colorectal polyp-carcinoma sequence
Objective: the role of telomerase activity and telomere length in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence of colon carcinogenesis has not been well established. The objective of this study was to determine telomerase activity and telomere length patterns in patients with adenomatous polyps either associated or not with colorectal cancer, as well as the role of telomeric instability in the adenoma-
متن کاملExtensive telomere erosion in the initiation of colorectal adenomas and its association with chromosomal instability.
BACKGROUND Telomere shortening, dysfunction, and fusion may facilitate the acquisition of large-scale genomic rearrangements, driving clonal evolution and tumor progression. The relative contribution that telomere dysfunction and/or APC mutation play in the chromosome instability that occurs during colorectal tumorigenesis is not clear. METHODS We used high-resolution telomere length and fusi...

Background and purpose: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Most of the times it is superimposed on an adenomatous polyp. Today, colonoscopy is the gold standard screening test for diagnosis of colorectal cancer which prevents developing cancer on the adenocarcinoma sequence path way. The goal of this study was to evaluate the gross and microscopic characteri...
