ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the mRNA levels of Kiss-1 and KAI-1 metastasis suppressor genes in gastric cancer, and to explore its clinical value.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In situ hybridization was used on routinely paraffin-embedded sections of resected specimens of 49 cases with gastric cancer and 20 cases with pericancerous tissue.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive rates and the scores of Kiss-1 and KAI-1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissue were significantly lower than those in pericancerous tissue (P<0.01). The positive rates and scores in normal to mild-atypical hyperplasia cases were significantly higher than those in middle to severe-atypical hyperplasia of pericancerous tissue (P<0.05,P<0.01). The positive rates and scores of Kiss-1 and KAI-1 mRNA in patients with infiltrating depth T1~T2, without lymph node metastasis, with only first group of lymph node metastasis, and without distant organ metastasis were significantly higher than those in patients with infiltrating depth T3~T4, with lymph node metastasis, with second or third group of lymph node metastasis and with distant organ metastasis. A strong positive correlation was found between the expressive scores of Kiss-1 and KAI-1 mRNA in gastric cancer (r=0.53, P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The expression of Kiss-1 and/or KAI-1 mRNA may be important biological markers of reflecting invasive and metastatic potential and prognosis in gastric cancer. The assays of Kiss-1 and/or KAI-1 mRNA expression level in benign lesions of stomach may have important clinical value for the protection and early-stage finding of gastric cancer.</p>
