| 1 | Bax protein may influence the invasion of colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the expression of Bcl-xL, Bak, and Bax proteins in correlation with particular clinico-histopathological parameters, including tumor invasion front, in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS: The expression of these proteins was evaluated with the use of the immunohistochemical method in 50 primary tumors. RESULTS: According to observations, a low expression of Bax and Bak proteins is related to the localization of the tumor in the rectum(P < 0.05 and P < 0.05 respectively), which may explain an increased incidence of colorectal cancer in this area. A positive expression of Bax protein also correlates with the presence of cancer cell infiltration to lymph and blood vessels(P < 0.05), which may suggest the participation of this protein in the early stages of colorectal cancer progression. Moreover, a positive expression of Bcl-xL protein correlated with a positive expression of Bak protein. This may suggest a greater participation of Bcl-xL protein in the inhibition of the proapoptotic Bak protein, but not the Bax protein. CONCLUSION: Bax protein is probably very significant in the cancerogenesis mechanism in the large intestine. | Anna Pryczynicz Mariusz Gryko Katarzyna Niewiarowska Dariusz Cepowicz Marek Ustymowicz Andrzej Kemona Katarzyna Guzińska-Ustymowicz | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，5： | 3 |
