Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of tumor related gene gankyrin expression in pancreatic cancer.Methods The immunohistochemical staining was performed to study the gankyrin expression in 62 pairs of pancreatic cancer and matched non-tumor tissues.The correlations ofgankyrin expression with pathological parameters and the influences on the prognosis were analyzed.Results Ggankyrin positivity in pancreatic cancer and matched non tumor tissue was 2.5％ (45/62)and 19.4％ (12/62),respectively.The positivity of gankyrin was significantly higher in pancreatic cancer compared with matched non-tumor tissues,and the differences were statistical significant (P ＜ 0.01).Gankyrin expression in pancreatic cancer tissues were significantly correlated with TNM stage,differentiation and metastasis (P ＜ 0.05),but not with age,gender or tumor location (P ＞ 0.05).The 3-year survival rates of patients with positive and negative gankyrin expression were 17.8 ％ (8/45)and 41.2％ (7/17),respectively.Patients with positive gankyrin expression had a significantly shorter survival period compared with these with negative expression in pancreatic cancer tissues (P =0.034).Conclusions Gankyrin was overexpressed in pancreatic cancer,which was correlated with poor prognosis.
