The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway plays a critical role in the growth and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of our study was twofold: 1) to determine the expression levels of several key components of this pathway including p85α, Akt1, Akt2, p-mTORSer2448 and p-p70S6KThr389 in CRCs, and 2) to correlate the expression of these proteins with cancer stage and location (left- vs. right-sided). Immunohistochemistry for p85α, Akt1, Akt2, p-mTORSer2448 and p-p70S6KThr389 was performed on normal colon and CRCs from 154 patients. All proteins investigated were significantly overexpressed in CRCs compared to matched normal colonic tissue from the same patient (p<0.0001). The PI3K pathway component proteins were moderately correlated across normal and malignant colon tissues; correlations tended to be stronger in normal tissues as compared to the same correlations in cancers. Expression levels of p85α were significantly higher in Stage IV cancers than in Stage I–III cancers (p = 0.0005); interestingly, p85α expression was also significantly increased in the adjacent normal colonic mucosa of patients with Stage IV CRC compared with earlier stages (p=0.003). Finally, expression of Akt1, Akt2, and p-p70S6KThr389 was higher in left-sided CRCs compared with CRCs in the right colon (p = 0.007, p = 0.0008, and p = 0.04, respectively). The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway components, p85α, Akt1, Akt2, p-mTORSer2448 and p-p70S6KThr389, are highly overexpressed in CRCs thus providing the rationale for targeting this pathway therapeutically in CRC patients. The increased expression of p85α in the adjacent normal mucosa of Stage IV patients suggests an important field defect, which may contribute to the growth and progression of these cancers.
