JC virus (JCV), a ubiquitous polyoma virus that commonly infects humans, was first identified as the etiologic agent for the fetal demyelinating disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Recently, a number of reports have documented detection of JCV in samples derived from several types of neural as well as non-neural human tumors. It has been suggested that oncogenicity of JCV depends on a T antigen having a strict structural homology to the T antigen of simian virus 40. To clarify whether JCV might have a potential role with regard to colorectal cancers, we investigated the presence of its genome in a series of cases along with colorectal adenomas and normal colonic mucosa, targeting T antigen, VP and agnoprotein by nested polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting and T antigen by immunohistochemistry. While VP and agnoprotein were not found in any of the samples examined, T antigen was detected in 6 of 23 colorectal cancers (26.1%) and 1 of 21 adenomas (4.8%), but none of 20 samples of normal colonic mucosa. No clear and diffuse staining with anti-T-antigen antibodies (1:100) could be detected, and there was no correlation with CD20-positive cells, which might have indicated JCV latent infection of B lymphocytes. Presence of T antigen did not influence clinicopathological variables, including survival. In one colonic cancer case positive for T antigen together with lymph node metastasis, DNA extracted from cancer cells in the lymph node revealed no detection of T antigen. Our results are in the intermediate position between the high T antigen rate (81%) in one report and the lack of it (0%) in another focused on colon cancers. It was concluded that T antigen might be integrated in cancer cells in approximately one fourth of Japanese colon cancer cases without clear and diffuse expression of the protein, suggesting a possible role in oncogenesis which might involve a hit-and-run mechanism.
