Abstract:
:Gene expression levels of thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) have been shown to be associated with response to 5-fluorouracil-based therapies. Analyzing these gene expression levels in liver metastases is important to obtain the best prediction of therapy. Our aim was to determine how TS, DPD, TP and OPRT gene expression levels in primary colorectal cancer (CRC) were related to those in liver metastases. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens from 31 pairs of primary CRC and corresponding liver metastases were dissected by using laser-captured microdissection. RNA was extracted and cDNA was prepared by reverse-transcription. Quantitation of target gene and internal reference gene was performed using real-time PCR. No significant difference was seen between median mRNA expression levels of TS, DPD, TP and OPRT in primary cancer and those in corresponding liver metastases (median value: TS 1.48 vs. 1.43; p=0.92, DPD 0.19 vs.0.12; p=0.10, TP 1.20 vs. 0.98; p=0.39, OPRT 1.17 vs. 0.95; p=0.10). When matched tissue sets were compared on an individual basis, there was a significant correlation for TS mRNA expression between primary cancer and corresponding liver metastases (rs=0.52, p=0.0026). However, no correlation was seen between matched sets for DPD, TP or OPRT. Significant correlation was seen between DPD and TP expression levels in both primary CRC (rs=0.38, p=0.03) and liver metastases (rs=0.72, p<0.0001). A good prediction of TS mRNA levels in liver metastases can be obtained by measuring those of primary CRC, although no correlation was seen for DPD, TP and OPRT.
