Objective: The loss of expression of syndecansyndecan-1 is associated with poor prognosis in many types of human cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relation between syndecan-1 immunoexpression and several clinicopathological parameters in a subset of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients. Methods: Pathology tissue blocks of 202 primary tumors, 41 adenomas, and 37 normal colonic mucosae were used in this study. The cases diagnosed in the period 1995–2015 was included in the study. Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed using anti-CD138/syndecan-1 (B-A38) mouse monoclonal antibody. A semiquantitative method was used to score the syndecan-1 expression based on an evaluation of the percentage and intensity of the membranous and cytoplasmic expression. The data collected from Pathology Department at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This is a retrospective cohort study that was conducted from July 2018 until August 2019. Results: Loss of syndecan-1 immunoexpression was observed in 72 (42.6%), 5 (12.2%), and 3 (8.1%) cases of CRC, adenomas, and normal mucosae, respectively. Low expression of syndecan-1 showed an association with nodal (p=0.003) and distant (p=0.001) metastasis, lymphovascular invasion (p=0.001), and tumor recurrence (p=0.006). Low syndecan-1 expression were associated with short overall survival (OS) (log rank 4.019, p=0.045) and disease-free survival (DFS) probabilities (log rank 4.748, p=0.029). Conclusion: Loss of syndecan-1 immunoexpression is associated with metastatic potential, tumor recurrence and shorter survival in CRC and is considered a potential biomarker of poor prognosis in CRC patients. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.1.2592 How to cite this:Al-Maghrabi J.

Malignant tumors have abnormal biomechanical characteristics, including high viscoelasticity, solid stress, and interstitial fluid pressure. Magnetic resonance (MR) elastography is increasingly used to non-invasively assess tissue viscoelasticity. However, solid stress and interstitial fluid pressure measurements are performed with invasive methods. We studied the feasibility and potential role of MR elastography at basal state and under controlled compression in assessing altered biomechanical features of malignant liver tumors. MR elastography was performed in mice with patient-derived, subcutaneously xenografted hepatocellular carcinomas or cholangiocarcinomas to measure the basal viscoelasticity and the compression stiffening rate, which corresponds to the slope of elasticity versus applied compression. MR elastography measurements were correlated with invasive pressure measurements and digital histological readings. Significant differences in MR elastography parameters, pressure, and histological measurements were observed between tumor models. In multivariate analysis, collagen content and interstitial fluid pressure were determinants of basal viscoelasticity, whereas solid stress, in addition to collagen content, cellularity, and tumor type, was an independent determinant of compression stiffening rate. Compression stiffening rate had high AUC (0.87 ± 0.08) for determining elevated solid stress, whereas basal elasticity had high AUC for tumor collagen content (AUC: 0.86 ± 0.08). Our results suggest that MR elastography compression stiffening rate, in contrast to basal viscoelasticity, is a potential marker of solid stress in malignant liver tumors.
