To investigate the expression of Ataxin-3 in human gastric cancer tissues and cell lines, and explore its clinical pathologic significance.
The expression of Ataxin-3 in gastric cancer (n=536) and noncancerous gastric mucosa (n=312) was determined by immunohistochemistry and correlated to clinicopathologic features such as histologic differentiation and tumor size. The expression of Ataxin-3 protein in the human gastric cancer cell lines MKN45, SGC7901 and in normal human gastric epithelial cells (GES-1) was also evaluated by Western blot analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine Ataxin-3 mRNA expression in human gastric cancer cell lines and tissues.
The expression of Ataxin-3 protein was decreased in the gastric cancer compared to noncancerous gastric tissue, and correlated with tumor size, Lauren classification, histologic differentiation, and mutant p53 protein (P < 0.05). Similarly, Ataxin-3 mRNA expression was decreased in the gastric cancers compared to the noncancerous gastric tissue. Ataxin-3 protein and mRNA expression was lower in MKN45, SGC7901 cells than in the normal GES-1 cells.
Decreased expression of Ataxin-3 may play an important role in gastric carcinogenesis and development of gastric cancer.
研究Ataxin-3在人胃癌组织和细胞系中的表达,并探讨其临床病理意义。
采用免疫组织化学法检测Ataxin-3在胃癌组织(n = 536)和非癌胃黏膜组织(n = 312)中的表达,并与组织学分化、肿瘤大小等临床病理特征进行相关性分析。采用蛋白质印迹法检测Ataxin-3蛋白在人胃癌细胞系MKN45、SGC7901及正常人胃上皮细胞(GES-1)中的表达。采用定量实时聚合酶链反应检测Ataxin-3 mRNA在人胃癌细胞系和组织中的表达。
与非癌胃组织相比,胃癌组织中Ataxin-3蛋白表达降低,且与肿瘤大小、Lauren分类、组织学分化及突变型p53蛋白相关(P < 0.05)。同样,与非癌胃组织相比,胃癌组织中Ataxin-3 mRNA表达降低。MKN45、SGC7901细胞中Ataxin-3蛋白和mRNA表达低于正常GES-1细胞。
Ataxin-3表达降低可能在胃癌发生发展中起重要作用。
