Differential microsatellite instability (MSI) in tumour epithelial and stromal compartments has not been well examined for colorectal cancers. Using laser-captured microdissection, separate specimens of these compartments of 40 sporadic colorectal cancers were sampled and MSI was tested with four markers. To examine the relation between the MSI phenotype in the stroma and other genetic events and histopathological features, p53 and K-ras gene mutations were analysed, and the expression of p53, hMLH1, and hMSH2 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry. Microsatellite instability positive results were obtained for both epithelium (34%) and stromal tissue (41%). While MSI in epithelium correlated with differentiation and Dukes' stage, that in stroma demonstrated an inverse relation, being particularly frequent in well-differentiated adenocarcinomas (54%) and Dukes' A lesions (55%). Further, a significant inverse correlation between p53 protein overexpression in the epithelium and MSI in the stroma was found (P=0.02475). The results suggest an alternative pathway of carcinogenesis involving stromal genetic instability in the development of colorectal cancers.
