Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of PTPN9 in colorectal cancer and its relationship with various clinical indicators.Methods A retrospective study of 146 patients with colorectal cancer who had a clear pathology and complete clinical data from December 2007 to December 2008 at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital was performed.Tumor tissues from 132 patients and non-cancerous tissues from 14 patients were randomly selected for determination of PTPN9 protein by immunohistochemistry,and double-blind scores were performed by two senior pathologists.According to the staining score,the clinical indicators such as age,gender,gross morphology,degree of differentiation and prognosis were compared.Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier curve using Cox proportional hazard model for multivariate analysis.Results The expression of PTPN9 in tumor tissues was statistically different from non-tumor tissues(P=0.009).There was a relationship between PTPN9 expression and N stage(P=0.021),M stage(P=0.022),pathological stage(P=0.008),clinical indicators such as diabetes(P=0.022)and survival(P=0.001).High expression of PTPN9 would result in a decrease overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer(P<0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the expression of PTPN9 was one of the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer(HR=1.202,P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of PTPN9 is significantly different between cancer tissues and non-cancerous tissues,and the expression of PTPN9 is higher in cancer tissues.As the expression of PTPN9 was increased,the pathological stage of tumors was also increased.The high expression of PTPN9 is a correlation with the onset of diabetes and also leads to a decrease in overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer.
