Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a clonal change in the number of repeated DNA nucleotide units in microsatellites. High-frequency MSI (MSI-H) colorectal cancers (CRCs) are known to have different clinicopathological features compared with microsatellite stable (MSS) CRCs. In addition, previous studies have shown that type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for malignant tumors including CRCs. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between T2DM and MSI-H colorectal cancer.
The study design is a single center, cross-sectional study. Data from a series of 936 patients with CRCs were collected and MSI status was assessed.
In total, 29 (3.1%) and 907 (96.9%) tumors were classified as having MSI-H and low-frequency microsatellite instability or being MSS (MSS), respectively. Of the 936 patients, 275 (29.6%) were associated with T2DM. One (3.4%) of the 29 MSI-H patients and 274 (30.2%) of the 907 MSS patients had T2DM. Thus, the incidence of T2DM was significantly less frequent in MSI-H compared with MSS patients (Fisher's exact test: p = 0.0007).
We conclude that MSS tumors are significantly more common than MSI-H tumors among individuals with T2DM.
微卫星不稳定性(MSI)是微卫星中重复 DNA 核苷酸单位数量的克隆性变化。高频微卫星不稳定(MSI-H)结直肠癌(CRC)与微卫星稳定(MSS)CRC 相比具有不同的临床病理特征。此外,先前的研究表明 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)是包括 CRC 在内的恶性肿瘤的危险因素。本研究旨在探讨 T2DM 与 MSI-H 结直肠癌之间的关系。
研究设计为单中心、横断面研究。收集了一系列 936 例 CRC 患者的数据,并评估了 MSI 状态。
共有 29 例(3.1%)和 907 例(96.9%)肿瘤分别归类为 MSI-H 和低频微卫星不稳定或 MSS(MSS)。在 936 例患者中,275 例(29.6%)与 T2DM 相关。29 例 MSI-H 患者中有 1 例(3.4%)和 907 例 MSS 患者中有 274 例(30.2%)患有 T2DM。因此,MSI-H 患者的 T2DM 发生率明显低于 MSS 患者(Fisher 精确检验:p = 0.0007)。
我们得出结论,在 T2DM 个体中,MSS 肿瘤明显比 MSI-H 肿瘤更常见。
