RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the expression of SOX2,TGF-β1 and Smad3 in gastric cancer and their relationships with clinical pathological characteristics of gastric cancer. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of SOX2, TGF-β1 and Smad3 expression and the clinical pathological characteristics of gastric cancer were analyzed. Results Integrated optical density (IOD) values from the positive expression of SOX2, Smad3 in gastric cancer group were all significantly lower than normal gastric tissues (P 0.05). There was positive correlation between SOX2 and Smad3 expression in gastric cancer tissues, and negative correlation between TGF-β1 and Smad3 in gastric cancer. Conclusions Abnormal expression of SOX2, TGF-β1 and Smad3 protein is related to the onset, development and clinicopathologic features of gastric cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the expression of phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)and Akt in gastric carcinoma tissues and the distal normal tissues,and to analyze their correlation with the clinical pathologic characteristics of gastric cancer.Methods The S-P immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of PI3K and Akt protein and mRNA in 60 cases of gastric carcinoma tissues and 25 cases of normal gastric mucosal tissues.Results The expression of PI3K and Akt in the gastric carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in the distal normal gastric tissues with statistical difference (P <0.05)and their expression in gastric carcinoma tissues was significantly related with the pathologic differentiation degree,TNM stage,invasion depth and lymph node metastasis (P <0.05).Conclusion PI3k/Akt protein and mRNA participate in the occurrence,development, infiltration and metastasis process of gastric cancer,and play an important role in the canceration of gastric carcinoma.
