Deregulated expression of Notch molecules is observed in many malignant tumors, however, the expression of Notch1 and Jagged1 in colon adenocarcinoma is still unknown. This study is to investigate the expression of Notch1 and Jagged1 in human colon adenocarcinoma. Sixty-five human colon adenocarcinoma and 60 adjacent nontumor colon tissue sections were detected by immunohistochemistry. Ten paired fresh surgical human colon adenocarcinoma and adjacent nontumor colon samples were analyzed by Western blot and RT-PCR. Both Notch1 and Jagged1 were expressed in the cytoplasm of neoplastic cells of colon adenocarcinoma tissue. The protein and mRNA levels of both molecules were higher in colon adenocarcinoma than in adjacent nontumor tissue. Moreover, Notch1 was positively correlated with tumor stage. This investigation demonstrates that Notch1 and jagged1 are up-regulated in human colon adenocarcinoma and suggests that Notch1/Jagged1 signaling might play a role in the development of colon adenocarcinoma.
