- The cAMP/PKA signalling events regulated by A-kinase anchoring proteins 10 (AKAP10) is involved in tumorigenesis. Previous study showed that AKAP10 polymorphism (2073 A/G, I646V) was associated with colorectal cancer risk. However, there was no literature reporting the role of AKAP10 in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. The aim of the study was to investigate the clinicopathologic significance of A-kinase anchoring proteins 10 (AKAP 10) expression and the relationship with its polymorphism in colorectal cancer. The expression of AKAP10 was determined by immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and western blot assay on colorectal cancer (n = 176), adenoma (n = 87) and distant normal mucosa (n = 72). 176 patients with colorectal cancer were genotyped for AKAP10 2073A/G polymorphism by TaqMan RT-PCR. We found that the positive expression rate of AKAP10 in colorectal cancer (59 %) was significantly higher than those in adenoma (39 %) and distant normal mucosa (42 %) (P = 0.004). There was no significant difference between adenoma and distant normal mucosa (P = 0.741). Positive AKAP10 staining was correlated with deeper tumor invasion (P < 0.001), lymph nodes metastasis (P = 0.022), advanced tumor stage (P < 0.001) and poorly differentiated degree (P = 0.003). Compared with AA genotype (52 %), positive expression of AKAP10 was significantly increased in colorectal cancer patients with the variant (AG+GG) genotypes (68 %, P = 0.033). It was concluded that AKAP10 may play an important role in the development and progression of colorectal cancer.

- Background and AimPreviously study showed that the loss of the control of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A RI (PKA RI)/ A-kinase anchoring proteins 10 (AKAP10) signaling pathway initiate dysregulation of cellular healthy physiology leading to tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PKA RI/AKAP10 signaling pathway in colorectal cancer (CRC). MethodsThe AKAP10 expression at the mRNA and protein level have been analyzed in colon cancer cell lines, primary CRCs and matched normal mucosa samples, and compared in accordance with specific clinicopathological features of CRC. The correlation between expression of AKAP10 and PKA RI were also analyzed. ResultsCompared with HCT116 and SW480 cells, the AKAP10 was significantly upregulated in the colon cell line KM12C and its metastatic counterparts, KM12SM and KM12L4A. Moreover, the KM12SM and KM12L4A having high metastatic potentials displayed the elevated levels of AKAP10 compared with KM12C having poor metastatic potential. A notably higher level of AKAP10 expression was found in CRC tissues at both mRNA and protein levels. Increased expression of AKAP10 in CRC patients was positively associated with the depth of invasion and the grade of differentiation. Univariate survival analysis showed that the increased expression of AKAP10 was related to poorer survival. Cox multivariate regression analysis confirmed that AKAP10 was an independent predictor of the overall survival of CRC patients. PKA RI mRNA was also expressed at high levels in CRC. The correlation coefficient between mRNA expression of AKAP10 and PKA RI in CRC was 0.417. AKAP10mRNA overexpression was correlated significantly with PKA RI. ConclusionsOur data indicated that PKA RI/AKAP10 signaling pathway is associated with the progression and prognosis of CRC.

- Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), an endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, up-regulation serves as an efficient mechanism to promote malignant transformation of colorectal cancer (CRC) and protect CRC cells against apoptosis. Recently, the analysis of GRP78 polymorphisms has already determined that GRP78 rs391957 polymorphism could predict clinical outcome in CRC patients. Thus, we tested whether GRP78 polymorphisms are related to the risk of CRC. In this study, we detected two GRP78 polymorphisms (rs391957 (C>T) and rs430397 (G>A)) in 414 CRC cases and 502 hospital-based cancer-free healthy controls in Southwest China using a polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Compared with the CC genotype, carriers of CT and TT genotypes of rs391957 polymorphism had higher risks of CRC (odds ratio (OR) = 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.06–1.83 for CT genotype and OR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.06–4.14 for TT genotype, respectively). In CRC cases, the variant T allele was significantly associated with tumor invasion stage (P = 0.030), but not with status of lymph nodes metastasis (P = 0.052). Compared with the GG genotype, carriers of GA and AA genotypes of rs430397 polymorphism had higher risks of CRC (OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.23–2.15 for GA genotype and OR = 2.92, 95% CI = 1.23–6.94 for AA genotype, respectively). The rs430397 polymorphism was not associated with the clinicopathological characteristics of CRC. These data provide the first evidence that GRP78 rs391957 and rs430397 polymorphisms could serve as markers to predict the risk of CRC.

- The recently identified class of microRNAs (miRNAs) provided a new insight in cancer research. As the member of miRNAs family, miR-34a, miR-155 and miR-200c abnormalities have been found in various types of cancer. However, the relationship between these three miRNAs (miR-34a, miR-155 and miR-200c) and colorectal cancer is unclear. In this study, we applied stem-loop real-time PCR to quantitatively detect miR-34a, miR-155 and miR-200c expression in 109 pair-matched human colorectal cancers and the corresponding normal mucosa. MiR-34a (2.2-fold), miR-155 (2.3-fold) and miR-200c (3.1-fold) were all expressed at higher levels in colorectal cancer (P = 0.001, 0.005 and 0.001, respectively). In rectum, miR-34a and miR-200c were significantly upregulated (P = 0.006 and 0.007), while the miR-155 overexpression was not statistically significant (P = 0.083). In colon, the higher expression of three miRNAs was seen, however, without significant difference (P andgt; 0.05). We also found that the miR-34a expression was higher in rectal cancer having more advanced TNM stage (III + IV, P = 0.03). Then miR-200c expression was positively correlated with and sera CEA level of rectal cancer patients (P = 0.04). In conclusion, our results thus suggest that the overexpression of miR-34a, miR-155 and miR-200c be associated with the development of colorectal cancer, meanwhile miR-34a may be involved in the development and progression of rectal cancer. The more deeply and larger scale research are required to prove the correlation.
