简要总结
The purpose of this study is:
- to determine neutrophil activity in patients with colon cancer,
- to determine levels sFas, sFasL and IL - 17 in serum of healthy volunteers and colon cancer patients and establish its prognostic value,
- to elucidate the relationship between serum sFas, sFasL and IL - 17 levels and clinicopathologic features of colon cancer,
- to compare the influence of laparoscopic and conventional procedures on postoperative serum sFas and sFasL levels in colon cancer patients
- to compare the influence of laparoscopic and conventional procedures on postoperative serum IL - 17 levels in colon cancer patients
- to compare the influence of laparoscopic and conventional procedures on postoperative neutrophil functions
- to confirm the expression of FasL protein in human colorectal cancer and elucidate the relationship between FasL expression and clinicopathologic features of the disease, to establish the prevalence of Fas in primary colon adenocarcinomas and elucidate the relationship between FasL expression and clinicopathologic features of the disease
- to determine the functional activity of tumour infiltrating neutrophils
详细描述
Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. Tumour cell extravasation plays a key role in tumour metastasis. There are evidences tumour cell-leukocyte interactions may support tumour cell invasion and could create an optimal microenvironment for tumour growth at the metastatic site. Neutrophils produce free radicals and proteases; they could cause tumour cytolysis, as well as promote tumour growth and metastasis. It seems that neutrophils play an important role in the context of tumour and angiogenesis.
It is not well understood why FasL induces immune privilege in some organs but elicits inflammation. To explain these apparently conflicting phenomena, it is important to investigate the mechanism of FasL-induced inflammation in detail. Fas/FasL can serve as potential targets for effective antitumor therapy. This research will be useful to eludicate the importance of neutrophil in colorectal cancer. We will investigate the possible role of neutrophil activity and FasL-induced neutrophil infiltration on tumor growth in colorectal cancer. sFas and sFasL could be a way to measure the balance of apoptotic and immunoescape effect after surgical resection of colon cancer.
If the number of neutrophils in peripheral blood mirrors the situation in the tumor tissue, these data could support the investigation of neutrophil-targeted therapies in anti-cancer strategy.
Inflammation-dependent angiogenesis seems to be a central force in tumor growth and expansion, a concept supported by the observation that the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, leads to angiogenesis inhibition. The mechanisms of inflammatory angiogenesis could provide new approaches to target, cure, or prevent tumor angiogenesis. Investigation of the physiologic regulation of IL-17 may thus be useful for the treatment in clinical settings characterized by persistent neovascularisation.
Inhibition of neutrophil elastase might not only reduce the inflammatory response, but could also prevent cancer cell progression. Anti-neutrophil elastase therapy after tumour resection might be an important strategic approach for managing postoperative complications and preventing cancer recurrence.

入选标准
- •All patients will be informed that additional blood and tissue samples will be taken during perioperative period for colon cancer research, and written consent will be obtained. Informed consent will be also obtained from each healthy volunteer.
- •Patients with the clinical diagnosis of colorectal cancer based on colonoscopy following histological confirmation will recruited. They should be suitable for elective surgical resection of the tumour along with lymph node dissection by right and left hemicolectomy, sigmoid colectomy, and anterior resection. Clinicopathologic characteristics of these patients will be investigated based on TNM classification of malignant tumours and modified Dukes classification Inclusion criteria; age between 18 and 80 years; colorectal cancer with single tumour locating at cecum, ascending colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon or recto sigmoid junction (distance from anal verge more than 15 cm); ASA I-III; and informed consent.
