Abstract

Background

CD26 is a transmembrane glycoprotein whose role in various types of malignancies, along with the potential therapeutic and diagnostic targets, has been evaluated. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is an effective tool for local control of rectal cancer, but the rate of disease recurrence remains high. The aim of this study was to clarify the association between CD26 expression and rectal cancer after preoperative CRT.

Methods

A total of 85 patients with rectal cancer who had undergone preoperative CRT were enrolled in this study. We investigated CD26 expression in residual tumors and the surrounding stromal tissue using immunohistochemistry. Additionally, stromal CD26 gene expression was assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Results

Patients with high CD26 expression in cancer tissue more frequently had serosal invasion, vascular invasion, and a poor pathological response. High expression of CD26 in the tumor stroma was significantly correlated with histology and tumor recurrence. High CD26 expression in the stroma, but not the tumor itself, was significantly correlated with a poor prognosis. Patients expressing CD26 in the tumor stroma, based on transcriptional analysis, also had a significantly poorer prognosis than those without the expression. In multivariate analysis, lymph node metastasis and high stromal CD26 expression were identified as independent prognostic factors in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant CRT.

Conclusion

Stromal CD26 expression after preoperative CRT was significantly associated with tumor recurrence and prognosis in rectal cancer patients. Our data suggest that stromal CD26 plays an important role and is a potential therapeutic target in tumor relapse.
