Zusammenfassung: | To analyze the loss of mismatch repair (MMR) system protein expression in metaplasia-dysplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence of Barrett esophagus (BE).
This study retrospectively analyzed the data from 70 patients with pathohistological diagnosis of BE or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) treated at the Clinical Department of Pathology and Cytology, University Hospital Center Zagreb, from January 2009 to January 2011. Patients were divided into three groups: BE without dysplasia (22 patients), BE with dysplasia (37 patients), and EAC (11 patients). Immunohistochemical expression of MutL homologue 1 (MLH1), MutS homologue 2 (MSH2), postmeiotic segregation increased 2 (PMS2), and MutS homologue 6 (MSH6) of DNA MMR system was measured and compared with tumor protein p53 expression.
A total of 81.8% and 81.8% patients with EAC, 32.4% and 35.1% patients with dysplasia, and 50% and 54.5% patients without dysplasia had loss of MLH1 and PMS2 expression, respectively. Patients with EAC and patients with dysplasia did not have loss of MSH2 and MSH6 expression, and 18.2% patients without dysplasia had loss of MSH2 and MSH6 expression. There was a strong positive correlation between MLH1 and PMS2 expression (Spearman ρ 0.97; P |
