Methods: Immunohistochemical method was used to detect hMSH2 protein expressions of gastric carci- nomas (carcinoma group) and their surrounding epithelia (surrounding epithelium group) in patients and the epithelia (normal epithelium group) in persons without carcinoma. Results: The positive rates of hMSH2 protein expression in nucleus of carcinoma, surrounding epithelium and normal epithelium groups were 44.94% (71/158), 28.48% (45/158) and 11.76% (4/34), respectively (P=0.000); the positive rates of hMSH2 protein expression in plasma of the 3 groups were 37.97% (60/158), 27.85% (44/158) and 23.53% (8/34), respectively (P=0.084); the positive rates of hMSH2 protein expression in both nucleus and plasma of the 3 groups were 20.89% (33/158), 17.72% (28/158) and 2.94% (1/34), respectively (P=0.045). Although the difference of positive rates between carcinoma and surrounding epithelium groups was not significant (P=0.476), both of them were higher than that of normal epithelium group (P=0.018). Conclusion: Our findings show that the detection of hMSH2 protein expression in gastric epithelia may help to predict and diagnose gastric carcinoma.展开更多

The protein of hMSH2 was determined by flow cy-tometry (FCM) and the gene mutation of hMSH2 and hMLH1 were detected by PCR-SSCP and mi-crosatellite instability assay. After UV irradiation, the gene expression of hMSH2 and hMLHl was not increased and showed no response. This phenomenon was not ascribed to gene mutation, because PCP-SSCP and microsatellite instability assay revealed no abnormal gel-shift band in both genes. After irradiation and addition of curcumin, the expression of hMSH2 mRNA increased and the cellular apoptotic rate also increased at the same time. The difference was statistically significant as compared with groups without addition of curcumin and control groups (P<0. 05). Our results suggested that when MMR system was inhibited by the same agents, curcumin can remove this suppression and switch to cellular apoptosis.展开更多

In gastric cancer(g C), MSI occurs in about 15% to 30% of the cases. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of MSI in g C as well as on the clinic, pathologic and molecular consequences of the MSI phenotype. Additionally, current therapeutic strategies for g C and their applicability in the MSI subset are also discussed.展开更多
