Abstract:
Objective To investigate the interrelationship between Golgi phosphoprotein 3 ( GOLPH3 ) expression with vasculoar endothelial growth factor( VEGF) expression in the progression of human gastric cancer by detecting the expression level of GOLPH3 and VEGF. Methods Immunohistochemistry ( IHC) was used to detect the ex-pression of GOLPH3 and VEGF in 55 cases of gastric cancerous and carcinoma-adjacent tissues. Pearson correlation analysis was used to discuss the association between GOLPH3 expression with VEGF expression. Results The im-munohistochemical detection showed that the positive expression rates of GOLPH3 and VEGF were 67. 27%, 58. 18% respectively, which were significantly higher than the positive expression rates in carcinoma-adjacent tis-sues ( P<0. 05 ) . A statistical analysis revealed that the positive expression rate of GOLPH3 and VEGF in the gas-tric cancer tissues were strongly correlated with depth of invasion ( P<0. 05 ) , distant metastasis ( P<0. 01 ) and TNM stages (P<0. 01), whereas it did not significantly correlate with age or gender or size of tumor. Compared with the negative for the GOLPH3 expression, the VEGF expression in gastric cancer tissues positive for the GOL-PH3 expression was significantly higher. The protein level of GOLPH3 expression was positively correlated with VEGF expression (r=0. 508,P<0. 01). Conclusion GOLPH3 overexpression may regulate gastric angiogenesis by upregulating the expression of VEGF, which affects the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.
