SATB2 (Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2) has recently been shown to be a specific biomarker of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic potential of SATB2 as a means of detecting a CRC origin for liver metastases. SATB2 expression was examined in a resection cohort of 101 CRC and 273 non-CRC adenocarcinoma samples using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The diagnostic accuracy of CRC origins of livermetastases based on SATB2 and a three marker panel of SATB2, CK20 and CDX2 was evaluated using an independent cohort of 192 liver biopsies. IHC showed 97 of the 101 (96.0%) primary CRC sampleswere SATB2 positive, compared to only 6 of the 273 (2.1%) samples of other cancer types. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC values of SATB2 expression in resection sampleswere 97%, 97.1% and 0.977, respectively. Meanwhile, for the liver biopsy samples, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC values of a CRC liver metastases was 92.2%, 97.8% and 0.948 for SATB2, 95.1%, 91.0% and 0.959 for CK20, and 100%, 85.4% and 0.976 for CDX2, respectively. Further analysis demonstrated that all three-marker positivity was detected in 92/103 (89.3%) CRC and 2/89 (2.2%) non-CRC livermetastases sampled by biopsy. Our findings suggest that SATB2, asmeasured by IHC, could serve as a promising diagnostic biomarker of CRC metastases. Combining evaluation of SATB2 with CK20 and CDX2 to form a three marker panel further improved the detection of metastatic CRCs in liver biopsy tissues. (c) 2018 The Authors.
