Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression of excision repair cross complementing-1(ERCC1),P27
kip1 and CyclinE in gastric cancer and explore its role in development of gastric carcinoma and its clinical significance. Methods:Expression levels of ERCC1,P27
kip1 and CyclinE in 45 resected patients with gastric cancer and 10 normal tissues were detected by the method of immunohistochemistry(EliVisionTM). We analyzed its correlation withgastric cancer in χ
2 test and pearson analyze. Results:The positive rates of ERCC1,P27
kip1 and CyclinE protein expression was 31.1%,35.6% and 55.6% in gastric cancer,respectively. The positive rate of ERCC1 and P27
kip1 in gastric cancer was lower than that in comparison group( P <0.05);The expression of CyclinE showed a significant difference from those of normal gastric mucosa ( P <0.05). The expression level ofERCC1,P27
kip1 and CyclinE was related to serosa invasion,lymphnode metastasis,distant metastasis and clinical histological grade( P <0.05). However, the expression of ERCC1,P27
kip1 and CyclinE was not associated with gender,age,tumor size,position and differentiation. There was a highly negative correlation between P27
kip1 and CyclinE expression ( P <0.05). Conclusion:The high expression of ERCC1,P27
kip1 and the low expression of CyclinE were related to occurrence and development of gastric cancer. The detection of ERCC1,P27
kip1 and CyclinE may be used for the diagnosis,identification and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. There was anegative correlation between P27
kip1 and CyclinE protein expression, but there was not correlation between expression level of ERCC1,P27
kip1 and CyclinE in gastric cancer.
