摘要

Cancer of the colorectal region of the gastrointestinal tract ranks third in terms of incidence and also mortality in the UK, with about 31 000 new cases a year and about 18 000 deaths a year, with virtually the same incidence and mortality levels in males and females. Worldwide there are approximately 700 000 new cases of colorectal cancer each year. (These data come from the UK Cancer Research Campaign factsheets and relate to the years 1985 for world values, 1988 for incidence and 1993 for mortality.) The surprising fact is that cancer of the small bowel is rare, the incidence and mortality figures being marginally over 1% of the figures for colorectal cancer. There have been many attempts to provide an explanation for why colorectal cancer is relatively common, but relatively few explanations as to why small intestine cancer is rare. Some of the data to be presented here allow the hypothesis to be raised that the small intestine is protected against cancer risk, at least in part, by the high propensity of its stem cells to undergo apoptosis following DNA damage induction. The small intestine is a considerably larger organ than the large intestine, and the cells in the small intestinal crypt are proliferating nearly twice as fast as in the large bowel. The small intestine thus represents one of the most rapidly proliferating tissues of the body. In the mouse each proliferative unit, the crypt, contains about 150 rapidly dividing cells, which have a cell cycle of about half a day; as a consequence a cell enters mitosis every 5 min in each crypt. This high rate of proliferation results in about 300 cells being produced per day from each crypt and these emigrate from the crypt to the villus at a velocity of one or two cell diameters per hour. (About 10~9 cells are thus produced every 4.4 days in the mouse.) As a consequence of this cell proliferation rate and migration velocity, cells reach the tip of the villus between 2 and 3 days after birth by division in the upper regions of the crypt. Thus, most cells in the small intestinal epithelium have a functional life expectancy of only a few days. (Two to three days on the villus and perhaps another two to three days in the dividing transit compartment of the crypt.) The indications are that the cell cycle time in the large bowel is between 1 1/2 and 2 times longer than in the small intestine in both mouse and humans, and that the human cell cycle times, although poorly denned relative to the mouse, are about 3 1/2 times longer for all regions of the gastrointestinal tract. It can be estimated that in the human small intestine, with a possible cell cycle time of about 36 h and a total length of between 5 and 6 m, 10~9 cells are produced approximately every 3 h. In contrast, the mouse small intestine is about 20 cm in length. The human large intestine is about 1 1/2 m in length, compared to the 6-7 cm in the mouse (these data come from many sources and are summarized in ref. 1).
