| Research Abstract |
Initially, we examined whether phosphorylated caspase 9 is a new marker of mitotic catastrophe. However, this was difficult to prove. Next, we investigated the expression rates of survivin and Smac/DIABLO in gastric and colorectal carcinomas by immunohistochemistry. We observed that gastric and colorectal carcinomas differ in their levels of survivin and Smac/DIABLO expression; both expressions were significantly higher in colorectal carcinoma than in gastric carcinoma. Additionally, we showed that there is a correlation between the expression of Smac/DIABLO and survivin in well-to-moderately differentiated colorectal adenocarcinomas. On the basis of these results, we consider that the expression of Smac/DIABLO in colorectal carcinoma may be upregulated to suppress the anti-apoptotic effect of survivin.
