摘要
Objective： To investigate the expressions of caveolin-1, E-cadherin and β-catenin in gastric carcinoma, precancerous gastric and chronic non-atrophic gastritis tissues, and evaluate the correlation of these expressions with the development of gastric cancer. Methods： The expressions of caveolin-1, E-cadherin and β-catenin were detected by biotin-streptavidinperoxidase （SP） immunohistochemistry on 58 gastric cancer tissues, 40 precancerous gastric tissues and 42 chronic non-atrophic gastritis tissues. The correlation between the expressions of caveolin-1, E-cadherin and β-catenin, and the clinicopathologic parameters of gastric cancer was analyzed retrospectively. Results： The positive rates of caveolin-1 and E-cadherin expressions in gastric carcinoma were significantly lower than precancerous gastric and chronic non-atrophic gastritis tissues （P〈0.01）. An abnormal rate of β-catenin expression in gastric carcinoma was higher than precancerous gastric and chronic non-atrophic gastritis tissues （P〈0.01）. Moreover, low expressions of caveolin-1, E-cadherin and β-catenin correlated with tumor size, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage （P〈0.05）. The positive rates of caveolin-1 and E-cadherin expressions decreased （P〈0.01）, while an abnormal rate of β-catenin expression increased inversely, with the degree of atypical hyperplasia （P〈0.01）. Caveolin-1 expression correlated positively with E-cadherin （r=0.41, P〈0.05）. Caveolin-1 （r=-0.36, P〈0.05） and E-cadherin （r=-0.45, P〈0.05） expressions negatively correlated with abnormal β-catenin expression. Conclusion： These results suggested that dysregulated expressions of caveolin-1, E-cadherin and β-catenin correlated with the development of gastric cancer and its biological behavior.
