Abstract:To investigate the expressions of SSTR2,Livin and survivin in normal mucousmembrane of colon,colon adenoma,colon carcinomasand their adjacent tissues and the clinical significance.Methods The qRT- PCR technique was utilized to detectthe mRNA ofSSTR2,Livin and survivin in colonic adenomas of30 cases,colonic carcinomas and their adjacent tissues of30 cases,and normalcolon mucousmembrane of30 cases.Results The rates ofpositive expressions ofLivin mRNA and survivin mRNA in the colon carcinomas were significantly higherthan those in the colon adenomas( < 0.05).The expression rate ofSSTR2 mRNA in the colon carcinomas was significantly lowerthan thatin the colon adenomas( < 0.05).The expressionsofLivin and survivin mRNA in the normal colon mucous membrane, the colon adenomas, the adjacent tissue of carcinomas, and the colon carcinomashad a gradually increased tendency,while the expressionsofSSTR2 mRNA had a gradually decreased tendency.Conclusions SSTR2,Livin and survivin play important roles in the transition of colon mucosa from adenoma to cancer.
