摘要
BACKGROUND The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3 K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways all belong to mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathways, Mutations in any one of the upstream genes(such as the RAS gene or the BRAF gene) may be transmitted to the protein through transcription or translation, resulting in abnormal activation of the signaling pathway. This study investigated the relationship between the KRAS gene mutation and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of colorectal cancer(CRC), and the effect of KRAS mutations on its associated proteins in CRC, with an aim to clarify the cause of tumor progression and drug resistance caused by mutation of the KRAS gene.AIM To investigate the KRAS gene and RAS pathway signaling molecules in CRC and to analyze their relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis METHODS Colorectal cancer tissue specimens from 196 patients were analyzed for KRAS mutations using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and for KRAS, BRAF,MEK, and ERK protein expression levels using immunohistochemistry of tumor microarrays. To analyze differences of RAS pathway signaling molecule expression levels in different KRAS gene status, the relationships between these parameters and clinicopathological features, 4-year progression-free survival, and overall survival were analyzed by independent sample t test, Kaplan-Meier plots,and the log-rank test. Predictors of overall and disease-free survival were assessed using a Cox proportional hazards model.RESULTS Of the 196 patients, 62(32%) carried mutations in codon 12(53/62) or codon 13(9/62) in exon 2 of the KRAS gene. KRAS, BRAF, ERK, and MEK protein expression was detected in 71.4%, 78.8%, 64.3%, and 50.8% of CRC tissues,respectively. There were no significant differences between KRAS mutation status and KRAS, BRAF, MEK, or ERK protein levels. Positive expression of KRAS and ERK was associated with poor tumor differentiation, and KRAS expression was also associated with age < 56 years. MEK expression was significantly associated with distant metastasis(P < 0.05). The 4-year progression-free survival rate, but not overall survival rate, was significantly higher in patients with KRAS-negative tumors than in those with KRAS-positive tumors(P < 0.05), whereas BRAF, MEK,and ERK expression was unrelated to survival. Multivariate analysis showed that only the expression of KRAS protein was a risk factor for tumor recurrence(P <0.05). No other clinicopathological factors correlated with KRAS, BRAF, MEK, or ERK expression.CONCLUSION KRAS gene mutations do not affect downstream protein expression in CRC.KRAS protein is associated with poor tumor differentiation, older age, and a risk of tumor recurrence.
