HSP27 expression in primary colorectal cancers is dependent on mutation of KRAS and PI3K/AKT activation status and is independent of TP53
چکیده انگلیسی

Colorectal adenomas display features of senescence, but these are often lost upon progression to carcinoma, indicating that oncogene induced senescence (OIS) could be a roadblock in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been implicated in the prognosis of CRC and HSP based therapy is a current interest for drug development. Recent cell culture studies have suggested that in the absence of a TP53 mutation, OIS mediated by PI3K/AKT activation can be circumvented by high expression of HSPs. Furthermore, while PI3K/AKT activation and KRAS mutations are independent inducers of OIS, PI3K/AKT activation can suppress KRAS-induced OIS when both are present in cultured cells. As KRAS mutations, PI3K/AKT activation and TP53 mutations are all common features of CRC, it is possible that the requirement for HSP to inhibit OIS in CRC is dependent on the mutation spectrum of a tumour. However, work on HSP that utilised mutation profiled human tumour tissues has been limited. Here, we characterised the expression of two major HSP proteins (HSP27 and 72) by immunohistochemistry (IHC), the mutation status of TP53, KRAS and PIK3CA genes by direct sequencing and the activation status of AKT by IHC in a cohort of unselected primary CRC (n = 74). We compare our data with findings generated from cell-based studies. Expression of HSP27 and HSP72 was correlated to clinicopathological and survival data but no significant association was found. We also established the mutation status of TP53, KRAS and PIK3CA genes and the activation status of AKT in our CRC panel. We did not detect any associations between HSP27 or HSP72 expression with TP53 mutation status. However, HSP27 expression in CRCs was strongly associated with the co-presence of wildtype KRAS and activated PI3K/AKT (p = 0.004), indicating a possible role of HSP27 in overcoming PI3K/AKT induced OIS in tumours. Our studies suggest a role for using archival tissues in validating hypotheses generated from cell culture based investigations.

► Heat shock proteins have been implicated in the prognosis of colorectal cancers. ► HSP27 and 72 are expressed in CRCs but not associated with clinical or survival data. ► Unlike in cultured cells, HSP27 or 72 expression are not linked to TP53 mutation. ► However, HSP27 was associated with co-presence of WT KRAS and activated PI3K/AKT. ► Studying archival tissues can complement cell culture based investigations.
