Abstract

δ‑like ligand 4 (DLL4)‑Notch signaling is associated with tumor resistance to anti‑vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. Furthermore, Notch signaling is critical for the maintenance of colon cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are relevant in drug resistance and tumor angiogenesis. CD44 is a transmembrane glycoprotein and is considered a putative marker of CSCs. To assess the association of Notch intracellular cleaved domain (NICD), DLL4 and CD44 expression with the efficacy of anti‑angiogenic drugs, a series of samples derived from patients with advanced colon cancer enrolled in prospective clinical trials were analyzed. Histological samples from 51 primary tumors that originated from patients treated with bevacizumab‑based first‑line chemotherapy were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for NICD, DLL4 and CD44 expression, and CD31 for microvessel count. The expression levels of genes relevant for angiogenesis [angiopoietin (ANGPT)1, ANGPT2, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1, FGF2, epidermal growth factor, placental growth factor, VEGFA and DLL4] were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR using RNA extracted from the frozen tissues of four tumors with low and four tumors with high NICD expression. Strong NICD levels were observed in 12/51 (24%) of the patients, whereas 16/51 (31%) of the colon cancer subjects exhibited high CD44 expression. Strong CD44 staining was associated with high NICD levels compared with the CD44 expression levels noted in samples with low NICD levels (67 vs. 20%, P=0.005). No association was observed with regards to the expression levels of NICD, CD44 and the other aforementioned biomarkers. High expression levels of NICD and CD44 predicted reduced progression‑free survival (P<0.001) and overall survival (P=0.002). No significant differences in the expression of angiogenesis‑related genes were detected between low and high NICD‑expressing tumors. In conclusion, NICD and CD44 tissue levels exhibited an association and may be related to a reduced survival rate in patients with advanced colon cancer treated with bevacizumab.
