Abstract:

Objective Inhibitor of growth TNG3 is a candidate tumor suppressor gene,which belongs to the human ING gene family.It has been interested by scientist because of its putative roles as tumor suppressors.There is a low expression level of ING3 in a variety of tumors.However,the relationship of ING3 and the development of colorectal cancer is unclear yet.The aim of this studyis to examine the expression of ING3 in colorectal cancer by qRT-PCR.Methods Statistical analysis was performed with the expression of ING3 mRNA which has been evaluated in 82 matched samples comprising primary colorectal cancer and paired non-cancerous mucosa samples.Results In 51% colorectal cancer patients,the expression level of ING3 was significantly lower in cancer tissue than that in normal tissue.The expression level of ING3 was closely related to pT、pM stage,and TNM stage(P<0.05).The Univariate analysis showed that the pT、pN、pM stage,TNMstage and ING3 expression levels were associated with disease-free survival(P<0.05).CRC patients with low-expression level of ING3 showed shorter disease-free survivals(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of ING3 might contribute to the CRC development or progression.
