Abstract
Annexin A10 (ANXA10) is a member of the ANX family that is normally expressed in gastric mucosa. ANXA10 was recently observed to be upregulated in sessile serrated adenoma, a precursor to microsatellite-unstable colorectal cancer. We investigated the use of ANXA10 in diagnosing colorectal carcinoma. In an immunohistochemical analysis, the intensity and quantity of ANXA10, MUC5AC, MUC6 and CDX2 in 123 colorectal carcinomas were graded. We determined the molecular status of BRAF and KRAS mutations, as well as the microsatellite instability status and the CpG island methylator phenotype in all colorectal carcinomas, and subcategorized into four molecular subgroups according to the molecular derangements. Nuclear ANXA10 staining was present in 36 colorectal carcinomas, exhibiting a strong significant association with the BRAF mutation status (P
