Expression and significance of multidrug resistance gene in the colorectal cancer tissues

摘要

Objective:To explore the correlation of expressions of MDR1/P-gp and CerbB-2 in the colorectal cancer tissues and their clinical significance.Methods:A total of 86 colorectal cancer tissues specimens were included in the study. The immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expressions of P-gp and CerbB-2, and their correlations were analyzed.Results:The positive rates of the expressions of MDR1/P-gp and CerbB-2 were 36% (31/86) and 28% (24/86), respectively. The positive expression rate of CerbB-2 in the colorectal cancer tissues at a clinical stage of III was significantly higher than that at stage I and II. The positive expression rates of MDR1/P-gp and CerbB-2 in the colorectal cancer tissues with axillary lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those in the tissues without axillary lymph node metastasis. In the P-gp positive expression group, the positive rate of CerbB-2 was 75.5% (37/49), while the negative rate of CerbB-2 was 24.48% (12/49), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). P-gp had a certain positive correlation with the positive expression rate of CerbB-2. Conclusions:P-gp and CerbB-2 play a certain role in the occurrence of multidrug resistance of colorectal cancer, and their expressions are correlated; therefore, the combination detection can provide an evidence for the chemotherapy choice of colorectal cancer.
