Gradual Histopathologic Changes During Development of Colorectal Cancer

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common causes of mortality in the world.Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the histopathologic changes including hyperchromatism, tissue lymphocyteinfiltrations (TILs), aberrant crypt foci (ACF), microvessel density (MVD), p53, Bcl-2...

description Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common causes of mortality in the world.Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the histopathologic changes including hyperchromatism, tissue lymphocyteinfiltrations (TILs), aberrant crypt foci (ACF), microvessel density (MVD), p53, Bcl-2 and CD31 changes during colorectal cancer development.Methods: Subcutaneous injections of dimethyl hydrazine DMH were administered to rats (40 mg/kg body weight) for 10 weeks.Rats were fed by food and water until 40th week and sacrificed two by two within 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 weeks after the start oftreatment. Thin paraffinized sections were applied to anti-CD31, anti-Bcl-2 and anti-p53 staining procedures. MVD and ACF werereported as mean value of three HPFs.Results: Hyperchromatism, TILs and angiogenesis were the most common initial histologic changes which started at 10th week ofDMH treatment. Hyperchromatism’s severity increased earlier than other changes and reached the highest value at the 25th week.The highest value of all variants occurred in the 40th week except the TILs which started to achieve the highest value in week 30 andincreased until 40th week. A diminished amount of p53 was observed at week 40, however, increased intensity of CD31 and Bcl-2were seen between 30th and 40th week.Conclusions: In conclusion, TILs and angiogenesis might be the important earliest factors contributing to colorectal cancer progression.
