Popis: Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene, a candidate tumor suppressor gene located at 3p14.2, has been shown to be involved in carcinogenesis of many human tissues, including digestive tract tissues. However, the expression and role of FHIT in the initiation and the development of the colorectal cancer (CRC) are poorly understood. In our present study, we have demonstrated that the FHIT gene exhibits significantly decreased expression in human CRC compared to colorectal adenoma and normal colorectal tissue by tissue microarray (TMA). The positive of FHIT gene expression in normal colorectal tissue, adenoma and adenocarcinoma were 93.75%, 68.75% and 46.25%, respectively. We showed that decreased FHIT expression was significantly correlated with the progression of colorectal carcinoma (P
