To investigate the expression and significance of epithelial cell membrane antigen (EMA), CD10 and E-cadherin in colorectal adenocarcinoma with invasive micropapillary differentiation.A total of 130 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical treatment from Jan. 2016 to July 2018 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects.According to whether or not with invasive micropapillary differentiation, they were divided into the control group of 85 cases without invasive micropapillary differentiation and the observation group with invasive micropapillary differentiation of 45 cases.The expression levels of EMA, CD10 and E-Cadherin were detected and compared by immunohistochem.In the observation group, EMA was neg. 8.89%, pos. was 0, "inside-out" pos. pattern was 91.11%; CD10 was neg. 55.56%, pos. 33.33%, "inside-out" pos. pattern 11.11%; E-Cadherin pos. 68.89%, cell-to-cell contact surface Weakly pos. and interstitial lateral membrane neg. was 31.11%, neg. was 0; vascular infiltration was 95.56%; lymph node metastasis was 93.33%.In the control group, EMA neg. was 0, pos. 100.00%, "inside-out" pos. pattern was 0; CD10 was neg. 94.12%, pos. 5.88%, "inside-out" pos. pattern was 0; E-Cad-herin pos. 100.00%, the contact surface of cell-to-cell was weakly pos., the interstitial side membrane neg. was 0, and the neg. was 0; vascular infiltration was 6.25%; lymph node metastasis was 8.24%.There were statistically significant differences in each index between the two (P<0.05).Observing the expression levels of EMA, CD10 and E-Caderin in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma can help to determine whether invasive micropapillary differentiation occurs and to evaluate the prognosis of patients.
