Abstract

Jun activation domain‑binding protein 1 (JAB1) has been shown to have multiple roles in tumorigenesis, including the degradation of tumor suppressor proteins such as p53, Smad7, Runx3 and the cyclin‑dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1, and the activation of oncogenic transcription factors, such as c‑Jun and hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α. In addition, our previous study revealed that JAB1 positively regulates signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) DNA‑binding activity in human colon cancer cells. In turn, the oncogenic transcription factor STAT3 positively regulates JAB1 expression, indicative of a positive feedback loop. Furthermore, high JAB1 expression is associated with a poor prognosis in numerous malignant carcinomas. However, the association between JAB1 expression and prognosis in colorectal cancer remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the association between JAB1 and STAT3 expression and recurrence in colorectal cancer. In the present study, it was found that high JAB1 expression in primary colorectal cancer tissues is an independent predictor of recurrence following 5‑fluorouracil (5‑FU)‑based adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients, and that high expression of both JAB1 and STAT3 in primary colorectal cancer tissues is associated with a lower recurrence‑free survival rate following 5‑FU‑based adjuvant chemotherapy compared to high expression of only JAB1 or STAT3. Overall, these results suggest that JAB1 is a novel predictive marker of recurrence following 5‑FU‑based adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients, and that the JAB1‑STAT3 activation loop may be a potential therapeutic target in recurrent colorectal cancer following 5‑FU‑based adjuvant chemotherapy.
