AbstractObjectivesThe recurrence of rectal cancer or its resistance to neoadjuvant treatment develops due to the adaptation to hypoxia, apoptosis or autophagy. Survivin, one of the inhibitors of apoptosis; Beclin 1, which is a positive regulator in the autophagy pathway; and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and carbonic anhydrase-9 (CA9), which are associated with tumor tissue hypoxia, may be related to resistance to treatment. Our aim was to evaluate the potential tumor markers that may help to monitor the response to neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced rectal cancer (RC).MethodsTwenty-five patients with locally advanced RC were included in the study. Gene expression and protein levels of Beclin 1, Survivin, HIF-1α, and CA9 were analyzed in fresh tissue specimens and blood samples. The relationships of these markers to tumor staging and regression grade were evaluated.ResultsHigher blood CA9 gene expression levels and lower blood HIF-1α protein levels were found in the response group according to tumor regression grade. After neoadjuvant treatment, tissue Beclin 1 and blood Survivin gene expressions and tissue CA9, blood Beclin 1 and blood HIF-1α protein levels decreased significantly.ConclusionBeclin 1, Survivin, HIF-1α ve CA9 may help to predict the effects of the applied treatment approach.

Abstract Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) is a standard adjuvant therapy in progressive rectal cancer patients, but many patients are resistant to RT, leading to poor prognosis. Our study identified microRNA-652 (miR-652) value on RT response and outcome in rectal cancer patients.Methods: miR-652 expression was determined by RT-PCR in primary rectal cancer from 48 patients with and 53 patients without RT. The relationship of miR-652 with biological factors and prognosis were examined. The biological function of miR-652 was identified through TCGA and GEPIA database search. Two human colon cancer cell lines (HCT116 p53+/+ and p53-/-) were used for in vitro study. Results: miR-652 expression was augmented significantly in cancer than normal mucosa in non-RT patients (P=0.044). High miR-652 expression in non-RT patients was related to more apoptosis (P=0.036), ATM (P=0.010) and DNp73 expression (P=0.009). High miR-652 expression was related to worse disease-free survival of non-RT patients, independent of gender, age, tumor stage and differentiation (P=0.028; HR=7.398, 95% CI 0.217-3.786). The biological functional analysis further identified the prognostic value and potential relationship of miR-652 with the apoptosis in rectal cancer. In RT patients, miR-652 expression was notably decreased in cancers when compared to non-RT cases (P=0.047), and miR-652 expression in cancers was negatively related to WRAP53 expression (P=0.022). After miR-652 inhibition, the estimation of reactive oxygen species, caspase activity and apoptosis in HCT116 p53+/+ cells were significantly increased compared with HCT116 p53-/- cells after radiation.Conclusions Our findings suggest the potential value of miR-652 expression as a marker for the prediction of radiation response and clinical outcome in rectal cancer patients.
