Objective:To investigate expressions of KAI1/CD82 in colorectal carcinoma and their correlation with the metastasis of col-orectal carcinoma. Methods:Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry were used to detect expressions of KAI1/CD82 in 233 cases of colorectal carcinoma. Results:Positive rate of KAI1/CD82 expression in colorectal carcinoma was 51.5%. Expressions of KAI1/CD82 were not correlated with patients’ sex,age,depth of infiltration and lymphnode metastasis,but were correlated with differentia-tion degrees and Dukes stages(P<0.05). Forward stepwise binary Logistic regression revealed that differentiation was the most signifi-cant influencing factor of KAI1/CD82 expression,Exp(b)=0.431,P=0.038,followed by Dukes stage,Exp(b)=0.363,P=0.043. Expres-sions of KAI1/CD82 were decreased in colorectal carcinoma with poor differentiation and at Dukes D stage. Conclusions:Expressions of KAI1/CD82 are closely correlated with differentiation degrees and stages,which are expected to become a new target for tumor prognosis.
