PURPOSE: Bcl-2 is a model apoptosis suppressor postulated to promote tumorigenesis. Recently, it has been reported that Bcl-2 undergoes phosphoregulation of its Ser70 to substantially alter its molecular function. Previous studies further suggest that such phospho-Bcl-2 regulation may influence tumor progression in colorectal and other cancers; however, phosphorylation status of the Ser70 of Bcl-2 (pSer70) in vivo in tumors remains obscure. To elucidate this question that may suggest the biological role, we molecularly screened a panel of human colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas for endogenous expression of pSer70 Bcl-2.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: An antibody specific against pSer70 Bcl-2 was generated for thorough immunohistochemical examination of paraffin-embedded tumor specimens, allowing detection of the endogenously expressed antigen among a range of Bcl-2-positive colorectal neoplasms, including 75 tubular adenomas, 114 adenocarcinomas, and 15 cases of cancer in adenomas.
RESULTS: Loss of pSer70 Bcl-2 expression was observed in adenocarcinomas in a differentiation-dependent manner (positivities: well differentiated 63%, moderately differentiated 52%, and poorly differentiated 12%), whereas tubular adenomas maintained their expression (positivity 88%). Interestingly, an inverse correlation was found between expression of pSer70 Bcl-2 and Ki-67 antigen in those cases of cancer in adenoma (P < 0.01). It was further observed that loss of pSer70 Bcl-2 expression was associated with significantly shorter survival (P < 0.05) and correlated with clinical stages and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05 and P < 0.05, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: Loss of pSer70 Bcl-2 expression is closely linked to biological aggressiveness in colorectal tumors and represents a statistically significant molecular index for prognosis of patients with these tumors.
