Changes in the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling proteins have been observed in many types of cancer. Accordingly, these proteins have recently become an exciting new target for molecular therapeutics. This study examined the expression of an activated mTOR signaling protein in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRAC) and colorectal adenoma lesion. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on human CRAC and adenoma for the mTOR signaling components, including mTOR, phosphorylation, and activation of S6 kinase (p70-S6K), S6 ribosomal protein (S6), and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein (4EBP1). A total of 100 cases with colorectal adenocarcinoma (CARC; N=40), adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasms (HIN; N=30), and adenoma with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasms (LIN; N=30) were enrolled in this study. p-mTOR expression was observed in 30 cases of the CRAC tissues (75%), 9 cases of adenoma with HIN (30%), and 2 cases of adenoma with LIN (7%). In addition, p-S6 expression was observed in 22 cases of CRAC tissues (55%), 8 cases of adenoma with HIN (27%), and 3 cases of adenoma with LIN (10%). A significant correlation was observed among the p-mTOR, p-S6 expression, and the adenoma?carcinoma sequence. Interestingly, the p-S6 protein was activated more in early CRAC than in advanced CRAC.
