Objective: IL23 is involved in chronic inflammation but its role in cancer
progression is not fully elucidated. Here we characterize IL23 subunits
p40, p19 and IL23 receptor (IL23R) in the normal-adenoma-carcinomametastasis
cascade of colorectal cancers and their relationship to clinicopathological
and outcome data.
Method: Immunohistochemistry for IL23R, IL12p40, IL23 and IL23p19
(monoclonal) was performed on a multi-punch tissue microarray (n=213
patients). Expression differences between normal-adenomas-cancerslymph
nodes were evaluated. Correlation with clinicopathological and
outcome data was undertaken. Results were validated on an independent
cohort (n=341 patients).
Results: An increased expression from normal-adenoma-cancer was observed
(p<0.0001; all) followed by a marked reduction in lymph nodes (p<0.0001;
all). Cytoplasmic and/or membranous staining of all markers was unrelated to
outcome. Nuclear IL23p19 staining occurred in 23.1%and was associated with
smaller tumor diameter (p=0.0333), early pT (p=0.0213), early TNM
(p=0.0186), absence of vascular (p=0.0124) and lymphatic invasion
(p=0.01493) and favorable survival (univariate (p=0.014) and multivariable
(p=0.0321) analysis). All IL23p19 positive patients were free of distant metastasis
(p=0.0146). Survival and metastasis results could be validated in Cohort 2.
Conclusion: The presence of nuclear IL23p19 is related to indolent tumor
features and favorable outcome supporting a more ‘protective’ role of this
protein in colorectal cancer progression
