Expression and significance of phosphorylated protein kinase B and spleen tyrosine protein kinase in different TNM stages of gastric cancer patients / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the expression of phosphorylated protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) and spleen tyrosine protein kinase (Syk) in different tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages of gastric cancer patients.@*Methods@#From January 2015 to April 2018, 82 patients with gastric cancer confirmed by gastroscopy and surgical pathology were enrolled in this study. All patients were selected for cancer tissue, and 30 patients were randomly selected from normal gastric mucosa at 5 cm adjacent to the tumor. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of PKB/AKT and Syk protein. To compare the expression of PKB/AKT and Syk in gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissues, and to analyze the relationship between PKB/AKT and Syk expression and clinicopathological features in gastric cancer tissues, and the correlation between PKB/AKT and Syk and TNM staging of gastric cancer patients.@*Results@#The positive expression rate of PKB/AKT in gastric cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The positive expression rate of Syk was lower than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.05). PKB/Akt and Syk gene expression in gastric cancer were related to histological grade, tumor infiltration, TNM staging, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (P<0.05), and the expression of PKB/AKT was significantly increased with the increase of TNM staging in gastric cancer patients, and the positive expression of Syk was significantly decreased (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#PKB/AKT is positively correlated with TNM staging of gastric cancer patients. Syk is negatively correlated with TNM staging of gastric cancer patients. The clinical expression of PKB/AKT and Syk can be used to determine the TNM staging of gastric cancer, which provides a strong basis for tumor treatment. It is of great significance in treatment.
