Methods: H. pylori infection was detected by rapid urease tests. Expression of hMSH2, hMLHland p53 in gastric cancer (GC) tissue, its adjacent mucosa, gastritic mucosa and normal mucosa was assessed by immunohistochemistry SP method. Results: Positive expression rate of hMSH2 in GC tissue (62.7%) was higher than those in adjacent mucosa (29.4%), gastritic mucosa (32.4%) and normal mucosa (30.0%) (P〈0.001). Positive rate of hMSH2 in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (76.4%) was higher than those in other carcinomas (54.3%, 53.1%) (P〈0.05). Positive expression rate of hMLH1 in GC tissue (64.3%) mucosa (82.4%) and normal mucosa (80.0%) was lower than those in adjacent mucosa (84.4%), gastritic (P〈0.01). Positive rate of hMLH1 in mucoid carcinoma (43.7%) was lower than those in other carcinomas (78.2%, 64.7%) (P〈0.01). Positive expression rate of p53 in GC tissue (51.9%) was higher than those in adjacent mucosa (3.1%), gastritic mucosa (0.0%) and normal mucosa (0.0%) (P〈0.001). Positive rate of p53 in well differentiated adenocarcinoma (32.6%) was lower than those in other carcinomas (58.8%, 68.7%) (P〈0.01). Positive rates of hMSH2 and hMLH1 in GC with H. pylori infection were lower than those without the infection, respectively (P〈0.05). Positive rate of p53 in GC with H. pylori infection (61.4%) was higher than that without the infection (40.6%) (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Gastric carcinogenesis may be associated with abnormal expression of hMSH2, hMLH1 and p53; H. pylori infection affecting expression of these genes may be one of its carcinogenic mechanisms.展开更多

METHODS H pylori infection was detected using a rapid urease test and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The hMSH2 and P53 proteins in gastric cancer (GC) tissue, its adjacent mucosa, gastritic mucosa and normal gastric mucosa were detected by the immunohistochemical SP method. RESULTS (1) The positive rate of hMSH2 expression in GC tissue (62.7%)was higher than those in non-cancer tissues (P〈0.001); the positive rate of hMSH2 expression in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (76.4%) was higher than that in other carcinomas (P〈0.05). The positive rate of P53 expression in GC tissue (51.9%) was higher than that in noncancer tissues (P〈0.001); the positive rate of P53 expression in well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (32.6 %) was lower than that in other carcinomas (P〈0.01). (2) The positive rate of hMSH2 expression in GC tissue with H pylori infection was lower than that without the infection (52.8% vs. 74.5%; P〈0.05). The positive rate of P53 expression in GC tissue with H pylori infection was higher than that without the infection (61.4% vs. 40.6%; P〈0.05).(3) The expression of hMSH2 and P53 in GC tissue correlated positively (r=0.457, P〈0.01). CONCLUSION High expression of hMSH2 and P53 as well as their interaction may be involved in gastric carcinogenesis; H pylori infection affecting expression of hMSH2 and P53 may be one of its carcinogenic mechanisms.展开更多

METHODS Specimens from 172 cases of gastric cancer, 151 tissues from paraneoplastic gastric mucosa and 34 from noncancerous gastric mucosa were collected in Dalain, China. An immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expression of the hMSH2, hMLH1 proteins and their ICES in the gastric mucosas. RESULTS The rate of hMSH2 expression in gastric cancers, paraneoplastic gastric mucosas and noncancerous gastric mucosas were respectively 69.8%, 49.7% and 32.4%. The rate was significantly higher in gastric cancer compared to the latter two groups (P=0.000), but there was no obvious difference in the expression between the two latter groups (P=0.067). The hMLH1 protein expression rates were respectively 73.3%, 57.6% and 41.2% in the above three groups. The expression was significantly higher in the gastric cancer group compared to the two latter groups (P=0.000), while there was no significant difference between the latter groups (P=0.082). There was no obvious correlation between the hMSH2 and hMLH1 protein expression rates and related factors, such as gender, age and differentiated level of gastric cancer etc. The cell-nuclear expression of the hMSH2 protein was respectively 70.0%, 58.7% and 36.4% in the gastric cancer, paraneoplastic gastric mucosa and noncancerous gastric mucosa groups. The cytoplasmic expression rates were 30.0%, 41.3% and 63.6% in the three groups. The cell-nuclear expression rate of the hMSH2 protein gradually decreased in the gastric mucosas in the following order: cancer, paraneoplastic and noncancerous but cytoplasmic expression only increased slightly in these groups (r=0.161, P=0.020). There was no significant difference in the ICES of the hMLH1 protein among the three different gastric mucosas (P=0.659). CONCLUSION Simultaneous determination of the expression and ICES of the mismatch repair proteins hMSH2 and hMLH1 in the gastric mucosa may be helpful in detecting early gastric cancer.展开更多
