Kinins increase vascular permeability as well as mitogenesis and proliferation, hence they have a potential to promote neoplasmatic transformation. In the present study we investigated the expression profile and localization of kinin B1 and B2 receptors in colorectal polyps. The biopsy samples from various polyps were obtained during endoscopy in tubular (n=18), villous (n=15) and hyperplasic polyps (n=15). The expression of genes encoding B1 and B2 was estimated by QRT-PCR TaqMan analysis. In second series B1 and B2 receptors were visualized by immunohistochemical staining in tissue specimens from colonic polyps and adjacent normal tissue. We found the highest expression of gene encoding B1 in tubular adenomas (1891 number of copies mRNA/microg total RNA+/-312 SE) which is significantly higher as compared with controls (683+/-197 SE, p<0.013). In contrast, the expression of gene for B2 was significantly increased in hyperplastic polyps (3852+/-936 SE) as compared with controls (843+/-263 SE, p<0.0016). In normal colon a well as in hyperplasic polyps B1 and B2 receptors were immunohistochemically localized in enterocytes, however in hyperplastic polyps the intensity of staining was more prominent for B2 comparing to the control group. In contrast, in tubular adenomas staining reaction for B1 was more intense than in control samples. Increased level of B1 in adenoma suggests that kinins may play a role in abnormal cellular transformation; whereas higher B2 level in hyperplasic polyp suggests its protective role. Our data may indicate that the overall effect of kinins on cellular proliferation depends on the relative level of B1 and B2 receptor expression.
