424 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major causes of cancer death worldwide. In CRC, serum levels of CEA have become well-established prognostic indicators. However, it is not generally accepted as optimal in its prognostic power. The aim of this study was to identify novel and reliable serum prognostic markers. Methods: We performed cytokine array to identify novel prognostic serum marker, and CXCL16 was selected. To investigate the relationships between sCXCL16 and clinicopathological findings including survival, the serum levels of CXCL16 in 237 CRC patients and 20 normal volunteers were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Furthermore, we investigated proliferation, invasion and wound healing assay to investigate the biological role of CXCL16 to colon cancer cell by recombinant CXCL16 exposing to HT-29. Results: The mean sCXCL16 concentration in patients was significantly higher than that in normal volunteers (p<0.0001). In addition, sCXCL16 levels increased significantly in accordance with the progression of UICC stage classification (p < 0.05). In clinicopathologic findings, sCXCL16 was significantly associated with the presence of lymph node (p=0.019) and the presence of liver metastases (p=0.011). Elevated sCXCL16 level demonstrated a significant association with poor survival, and was an independent risk factor for poor survival. Furthermore, sCXCL16 was an independent marker for predicting liver metastasis (logistic analysis; p=0.0015). In vitro, recombinant CXCL16 promoted epithelial mesencymal transition (EMT) phenotype characterized by impaired E-cadherin and induction of Vimentin. In addition, CXCL16 promoted cell growth, migration and invasion. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that preoperative sCXCL16 level increased in colorectal cancer patients, and that sCXCL16 correlated with liver metastasis, and is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Elevated CXCL16 has been proposed as a useful predictive marker for liver metastasis and overall survival in CRC. In vitro, CXCL16/CXCR6 axis might play an importance role in mediating cell survival, migration and invasion by EMT in CRC cell. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

442 Background: CXCL5 is known as CXC chemokine which promotes angiogenesis related to cancer. However, the function of serum level of CXCL5 (sCXCL5) has not been fully studied in colorectal cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between preoperative sCXCL5 and clinicopathological features and prognosis in colorectal cancer. Methods: This was a single-institution, retrospective study. Preoperative serum samples of 250 colorectal cancer patients (between 1998 and 2007, median age: 65.3 years, male 159/female 91) were available for the study, and 33 normal serum was examined and used as a control. sCXCL5 level was assayed using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, and analyzed statistically. Results: Mean level of sCXCL5 was significantly higher in colorectal cancer patients than in control group (p=0.013). Patients with liver metastases had significantly higher sCXCL5 level than those without metastases (p=0.0086), and in logistic analysis, sCXCL5 was an independent marker for predicting liver metastasis (p=0.040). Overall survival of patients with elevated sCXCL5 level was significantly worse than those with lower sCXCL5 (p=0.0006). Conclusions: Preoperative sCXCL5 level was increased in colorectal cancer patients compared to in healthy volunteer and elevated sCXCL5 was correlated with liver metastasis and poor prognosis for overall survival in colorectal cancer patients. Elevated sCXCL5 has been proposed as a useful predictive marker for liver metastasis and overall survival in colorectal cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Aim: Germline variants could modify survival of metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC). Patients & methods: The association of 285 haplotype-tagging SNPs in 11 candidate genes and overall survival (OS) was tested in two cohorts totalizing 417 FOLFIRI-treated mCRC. Gene expression was investigated in vitro and in public datasets. Results: In the combined cohort, CES1 rs9921399T>C was associated with prolonged OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.40) whereas ABCC1 rs17501011G>A (HR = 2.08) and UGT1 rs1113193G>A (HR = 2.12) were associated with shorter OS (p ≤ 0.005). A combined effect of these polymorphisms was observed with HR of 1.98–2.97 (p < 0.05). The ABCC1 rs17501011A variant reduced reporter-gene activity (p < 0.05) whereas ABCC1 tumor expression was associated with shorter survival (p ≤ 0.013). Conclusion: We identified a combination of genetic determinants that could predict mCRC survival.

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to the find the association between HBV infection and postoperative survival and the risk of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer patients.Methods: Patients who underwent curative surgical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) between January 2011 and December 2012 were included. Patients were grouped according to anti-HBc. Differences in overall survival (OS), time to progress (TTP) and hepatic metastasis-free survival (HMFS) between groups and significant predictors were analyzed.Results: 327 colorectal cancer patients are comprised of 202 anti-HBc negative cases and 125 anti-HBc positive cases, and anti-HBc positive cases are further divided into high-titer anti-HBc group (39) and low-titer anti-HBc group (86). High-titer anti-HBc group had significantly worse overall survival (5-Yr, 65.45% vs. 80.06%; P < .001), time to progress (5-Yr, 44.26% vs. 84.73%; P < .001) and hepatic metastasis-free survival (5-Yr, 82.44% vs. 94.58%; P = .029) than low-titer group. Multivariate model showed anti-HBc ≥ 8.8 S/CO was correlated with poor overall survival (HR, 3.510; 95% CI, 1.718-7.17; P < .001), time to progress (HR, 5.747; 95% CI, 2.789-11.842; P < .001) and hepatic metastasis-free survival (HR, 3.754; 95% CI, 1.054-13.369; P = .041) in the anti-HBc positive cases.Conclusion: Higher titer anti-HBc predicts a higher risk of liver metastasis and a worse survival in anti-HBc positive colorectal cancer patients.

The Impact

A drastic difference exists between the 5-year survival rates of colorectal cancer patients with localized cancer and distal organ metastasis. The liver is the most favorable organ for cancer metastases from the colorectum. Beyond the liver-colon anatomic relationship, emerging evidence highlights the impact of liver immune microenvironment on colorectal liver metastasis. Prior to cancer cell dissemination, hepatocytes secrete multiple factors to recruit or activate immune cells and stromal cells in the liver to form a favorable premetastatic niche. The liver-resident cells including Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, and liver-sinusoidal endothelial cells are co-opted by the recruited cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages, to establish an immunosuppressive liver microenvironment suitable for tumor cell colonization and outgrowth. Current treatments including radical surgery, systemic therapy, and localized therapy have only achieved good clinical outcomes in a minority of colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis, which is further hampered by high recurrence rate. Better understanding of the mechanisms governing the metastasis-prone liver immune microenvironment should open new immuno-oncology avenues for liver metastasis intervention.

Aim Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in Argentina with 11,043 new cases and 6,596 deaths estimated to have occurred in 2008. The present study was developed to clarify the differential expression of MUC1, MUC2, sLex, and sLea in colorectal cancer patients and their relationship with survival and clinical and histological features. Methods Ninety primary tumor samples and 43 metastatic lymph nodes from CRC patients were studied; follow-up was documented. Twenty-six adenoma and 68 histological normal mucosa specimens were analyzed. An immunohistochemical approach was applied and statistical analysis was performed. Results In tumor samples, MUC1, sLea, and sLex were highly expressed (94%, 67%, and 91%, respectively); also, we found a significantly increased expression of the 3 antigens in primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes compared with normal mucosa and adenomas. MUC2 was expressed in 52% of both normal mucosa and CRC samples; this reactivity significantly decreased in metastatic lymph nodes (p<0.05). A multiple comparison analysis showed that MUC1 and sLex discriminated among 3 groups: normal, adenoma, and CRC tissues. The increase of sLex expression showed an association with recurrence, and survival analysis showed that a high sLex staining was significantly associated with a poor survival. By multivariate analysis MUC1 inmunoreactivity correlated positively and significantly with tumor size, while MUC2 expression showed the opposite correlation. Conclusions The correlation of sLex overexpression in primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes, the discrimination among the normal, adenoma, and CRC groups based on sLex expression, as well as its association with recurrence and survival, all suggest a prognostic role of sLex in Argentinian CRC patients.
