The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cathepsin D in colorectal cancer. For this purpose cathepsin D expression was evaluated by means of immunohistochemistry in stromal and tumor cells of 31 colorectal carcinomas and 29 adenomas. Cytoplasmic cathepsin D expression of tumor cells was present in 90.3% of the carcinoma cases and various degrees of stromal cell cathepsin D expression were present in all cases. In the adenomas, the epithelial cells and stromal cells expressed cathepsin D in 68.96% and 96.55% of cases, respectively. The staining intensity was always weaker in the adenomas. When the stromal and tumor cell cathepsin D expression in the adenocarcinoma and adenoma cases were compared, a statistically significant difference was observed in the staining of stromal cells. Furthermore, stromal cathepsin D expression in the adenocarcinomas was related to tumor stage when the carcinomas were divided into low and high stage. Cathepsin D expression in stromal cells may be an important indicator of poor prognosis in colorectal adenocarcinomas.
