Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a contributory carcinogen in gastric adenocarcinoma. 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catabolizes PGE2 by oxidizing its 15(s)-hydroxy group. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of 15-PGDH in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and the relationship between 15-PGDH expression and clinicopathologic features of gastric adenocarcinoma.
Ninety-nine patients who underwent surgical resection for gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2007 and December 2007 were enrolled and evaluated retrospectively.
In 62 patients (62.6%), 15-PGDH expression was lower in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue than in nonneoplastic tissue. Regarding the relationship between 15-PGDH expression and clinicopathological features, 15-PGDH expression was significantly lower in tissues with poor differentiation (P = 0.002), advanced T stage (P = 0.0319), a higher number of lymph node metastases (P = 0.045), lymphatic invasion (P = 0.031), and vascular invasion (P = 0.036).
15-PGDH expression was associated with a subset of clinicopathologic features such as differentiation grade, T stage, lymphatic invasion, and vascular invasion.
前列腺素E2(PGE2)是胃腺癌中的一种致癌因素。15-羟基前列腺素脱氢酶(15-PGDH)通过氧化PGE2的15(s)-羟基来分解代谢PGE2。本研究旨在探讨15-PGDH在胃腺癌组织中的表达情况以及15-PGDH表达与胃腺癌临床病理特征之间的关系。
回顾性纳入并评估了2007年1月至2007年12月期间接受胃腺癌手术切除的99例患者。
62例患者(62.6%)的胃腺癌组织中15-PGDH表达低于非肿瘤组织。关于15-PGDH表达与临床病理特征的关系,在分化差的组织(P = 0.002)、T分期较晚(P = 0.0319)、淋巴结转移数量较多(P = 0.045)、存在淋巴侵犯(P = 0.031)和血管侵犯(P = 0.036)的组织中,15-PGDH表达显著降低。
15-PGDH表达与分化程度、T分期、淋巴侵犯和血管侵犯等部分临床病理特征相关。
