Objective. To assess the clinical significance of survivin (BIRC5) mRNA expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods. The study involved 130 patients (109 patients with colorectal cancer and 21 patients with colon adenomas). All patients underwent complete tumor resection (radical surgery – 102 (93.6%), cytoreductive – 7 (6.4%)). Monitoring of survivin mRNA (BIRC5) expression in the CTC was performed within 9 months after surgery. The expression study was performed using RT-PCR, the normalized expression of the BIRC5 gene in the CTCs was examined.
Results. A high level of survivin (BIRC5) mRNA expression was found in CTCs in CRC compared to adenomas (p<0.001), both prior surgery M±SD (1.175±1.33 and 0.052±0.11) and after 3 months M±SD (1.015±0.93 and 0.018±0.002). A relationship was found between the presence of CTCs in patients prior surgery and damage of regional lymph nodes (p=0.032), stage of the tumor process (p=0.011), tumor size (p=0.038), degree of tumor differentiation (p=0.039), positive expression of survivin mRNA ( BIRC5) in tumor material (p=0.044) . In 6 and 9 months after surgery, CTCs persist in the bloodstream, even despite adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage III disease (p=0.015 and p=0.012).
Conclusion. Survivin is a highly sensitive tumor marker in CRC due to its overexpression in the CTC. Overexpression of survivin mRNA in CRC has been identified as negative prognostic factor and directly depends on the tumor lesion of the regional lymph nodes, the stage of the disease, the degree of tumor differentiation, and the size of the tumor. In 9 months after radical surgery determination of survivin (BIRC5) mRNA expression in the CTC can be used for assessment of minimal residual disease and considered as a powerful prognostic factor of the overall survival rate.
