【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of Tob mRNA in human colorectal cancer tissues, and their corresponding paracancerous normal tissues which was 10 cm above the tumor and pathologically proved and to explore the role of Tob mRNA in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.
MethodsQuantitative real time RTPCR was used to detect the expression of Tob mRNA in 31 colorectal cancers.
ResultsCompared with paracancerous tissue, the expression of Tob mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly increased. Moreover, the expression levels of Tob in Dukes A, B, C, D were 1.146±0.067, 1.120±0.073, 1.052±0.020 and 1.047±0.010 respectively. Analyzed by oneway ANOVA, there were significant differences in expression of Tob in different Dukes stage.
ConclusionThe upregulation expression of Tob mRNA may be closely associated with tumorigenesis of colorectal carcinoma.
