| Research Abstract |
MUC1 and MUC5AC were frequently found in inflammatory mucosa in patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis (UC) and large intestinal cancer associated with UC. These mucins may serve as useful surveillance markers for large intestinal cancers associated with UC. The immunohistological phenotype of adenocarcinoma which arises in the anal fistula of Crohn's disease (CD) reflected characteristics of rectal mucosa, not of anal ductal epithelium, suggesting that adenocarcinoma in the anal fistula originates from rectal mucosa. Mutation of the MSH6 gene, methylation of the CDKN2A/p16 gene, and microsatellite instability were found in large intestinal cancers associated with UC, whereas these gene abnormalities were not detected in malignant lymphoma associated with UC. In the case of malignant lymphoma, EB virus infection was found in lymphoma cells. These results suggest that gene abnormalities may be involved in the development of large intestinal cancers associated with UC, while infection of B lymphocytes with EB virus may cause malignant lymphoma in UC patients against the background of long-standing inflammation.
