Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of FAT10 and p53 mutant in gastric cancer tissues and their relations. Methods Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were used to detect the expressions of FAT10 and p53 in gastric cancer tissues (n=62), para-cancerous tissues (2-5 cm apart from cancer, n=62), and normal gastric tissues (7>5 cm apart from cancer, n=62). The association of FAT10 with p53 and clinical outcomes were analyzed by Spearman and Pearson correlation. Results The immunohistochemistry examination showed that expressions of FAT10 [51.61%(32/62)] and p53 [45.16% (28/62)] were significantly higher in cancerous tissues than in para-cancerous tissues [12.90%(8/62) and 14.51% (9/62), χ2=21.26 and 20.69, P<0.01] and normal tissues [6.45% (4/62) and 9.68% (6/62), χ2=13.91 and 19.61, P<0.01]. Overexpressions of FAT10 protein and mRNA in cancerous tissues were closely related to lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (both P value<0.05). There was a positive correlation between FAT10 and p53 in protein and mRNA expressions (protein r=0. 865, P<0.05; mRNA r=0.761, P< 0.01). Those with positive expression of FAT10 had lower survival rate compared to those with negative expression (P<0.05). Conclusions The positive relation between over-expression of FAT10 and p53 implicates that both are involved in the gastric carcinogenesis, and FAT10 is a novel gastric cancer marker with prognostic significance.
