Study of the synergistic role of IGF-I system and estrogens in colorectal carcinogenesis of patients with insulin resistance syndrome, by confocal laser scanning microscopy
Abstract
The present study aimed at evaluating the modulation of IGF-IR and ER-β expression and their correlation during tumorigenesis of sporadic colorectal cancer, with particular interest in the insulin resistance syndrome. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy and a computerbased method for the assessment of the immunofluorescent staining, IGFIR and ER-β expressions were quantified in formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded biopsies, in a series of 100 individuals (54 men and 46 women, mean age 67.3 ± 9.4) with colorectal neoplasms, classified in early adenomas (n=25), advanced adenomas (n=44) and adenocarcinomas (n=31). All the individuals were evaluated for insulin resistance markers (hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, central obesity and arterial hypertension) and 50 of them (26 men and 24 women, mean age 68.2 ± 9.0) were diagnosed with the insulin resistance syndrome. For the sequence: early adenoma - advanced adenoma - adenocarcinoma, a gradual increase in IGF-IR expression and a gradual decline ...
