| Abstract |
Colorectal adenomatous polyp (CRAP) is a major risk factor for the development of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). Histone modifications are one of the epigenetic mechanisms that may have key roles in the carcinogenesis of CRC. The objective of the present study is to investigate the alternations in the defined histone modification gene expression profiles in patients with CRAP and CRC. Histone modification enzyme key gene expressions of the CRC, CRAP, and control groups were evaluated and compared using the reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) array method. Gene expression analysis was performed in the CRAP group after dividing the patients into subgroups according to the polyp diameter, pathological results, and morphological parameters which are risk factors for developing CRC in patients with CRAP. PAK1, NEK6, AURKA, AURKB, HDAC1, and HDAC7 were significantly more overexpressed in CRC subjects compared to the controls (p < 0.05). PAK1, NEK6, AURKA, AURKB, and HDAC1 were significantly more overexpressed in the CRAP group compared to the controls (p < 0.005). There were no significant differences between the CRAP and CRC groups with regards to PAK1, NEK6, AURKA, or AURKB gene overexpression. PAK1, NEK6, AURKA, and AURKB were significantly in correlation with the polyp diameter as they were more overexpressed in polyps with larger diameters. In conclusion, overexpressions of NEK6, AURKA, AURKB, and PAK1 genes can be used as predictive markers to decide the colonoscopic surveillance intervals after the polypectomy procedure especially in polyps with larger diameters. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 October 2015.
All research outputs
#20,293,238
of 22,829,683 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,834
of 2,622 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,064
of 274,274 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#173
of 257 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,683 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,622 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 274,274 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 257 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
