Methods:The two-step immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of PPARγ and PGC-1 in 179 cases of GC, and 108 cases of matched normal gastric mucosa. Besides, 16 cases of fresh GC specimens and corresponding normal gastric mucosa were detected for PGC-1 expression with Western blotting. Results: The positive rates of PPART and PGC-1 expression were significantly lower in GC (54.75%, 49.16%) than in normal gastric mucosa (70.37%, 71.30%), respectively (P〈0.05). The decreased expression of PGC-1 in GC was confirmed ha our Western blot analysis (P=0.004). PPAR7 and PGC-1 expressions were related to Lauren's types ofGC (P〈0.05). Positive correlation was found between PPART and PGC-1 expression in GC (rk=0.422, P〈0.001). The survival time of PPART negative and positive patients was 36.6±3.0 vs. 38.5_+2.7 months, and no statistical difference was found between the 5-year survival rates of two groups (34.4% vs. 44.1%, P=0.522, log-rank test); the survival time of PGC-1 negative and positive patients was 36.2±2.8 vs. 39.9±2.9 months, while no statistical difference was found between the 5-year survival rates of the two groups (32.0% vs. 48.2%, P=0.462, log-rank test) Conclusions'. Decreased expression of PPARγand PGC-1 in GC was related to the Lauren's classification. Their expressions in GC were positively correlated, indicating that their fimctions in gastric carcinogenesis may be closely related.展开更多
