Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To investigate expression status of KIAA1522 in colorectal cancer (CRC),and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis. METHODS: Expression of KIAA1522 protein was determined with tissue microarrays-immunohistochemistry (TMA-IHC) technique in surgically-resected colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent normal epithelia from 96 patients. The relationship between KIAA1522 expression and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of the patients were analyzed. RESULTS: KIAA1522 protein was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of colorectal epithelial cells. While only 12.5% (12/96) of normal colorectal epithelia displayed positive staining,81.3% (78/96) of CRC specimens showed over-expression of KIAA1522. The difference between them was highly significant (P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that high level of KIAA1522 expression was correlated with lower 3-year disease free survival (DFS) rate of CRC patients (P=0.017). Further more,KIAA1522 up-regulation was significantly correlated with distant metastasis (P=0.012). More importantly,Cox regression analysis indicated that KIAA1522 protein expression was an independent prognosis factor in CRC (P=0.020). CONCLUSION: KIAA1522 was frequently up-regulated in CRC,and its over-expression was significantly correlated with distant metastasis and poor prognostic,thus KIAA1522 over-expression may served as a new prognostic marker in colorectal cancer.
