In this study, we collected 84 T3N0M0 stage primary colorectal cancers that were curatively resected. The clinicopathologic data were reviewed. p16 hypermethylation was determined by a methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). p53 overexpression was detected by immunocytochemistry (ICC). The point mutations in the 12 and 13 codons of the K-ras gene were screened by restriction enzyme analysis. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the DCC ( Deleted in Colorectal cancer) gene was examined by PCR using primers of the DCC (18q21) microsatellite marker. The DNA replication error (RER) was examined using 7 microsatellite markers at distinct chromosomal loci. p16 hypermethylation, regarded as an indication of p16 inactivation, was evident in 24 (28.6%) of the tumors. No correlation was found between p16 hypermethylation and various clinicopathologic factors, includinig age, sex, tumor location, tumor size, growth pattern, tumor differentiation, mucin production, vascular and/or lymphatic invasion, lymphocyte infiltration of the tumor, and serum level of carcinoembryonic antigen. There was no association between p16 hypermethylation of K-ras gene mutation, p53 overexpression and LOH of the DCC gene. However, p16 hypermethylation was significantly associated with DNA RER ( p = 0.01). Survival analysis revealed a significant survival disadvantage of p16- hypermethylated versus non-p16- hypermethylated tumors (p = 0.0001). These findings indicate that p16 hypermethylation plays a role in the carcinogenesis of a subset of colorectal cancers; and the presence of p16 hypermethylation predicts shorter survival in T3N0M0 stage colorectal cancers. |
