Expression of pl6, p53 and Mad2 in gastric cancer and its clinicopathological significance
AIM: To study the p16, p53 and Mad2 gene expression in gastric cancer and its clinicopathological significance. METHODS: In gastric cancer group and control group (normal gastric mucosa, chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, hyperplastic polyp, atypical hyperplasia) , detect the p16, p53 and Mad2 protein expression with SP immu-nohistochemical method. RESULTS: The pl6, p53 and Mad2 positive rates were 74. 6% , 32. 8% and 59. 7% in the control group and 46. 3% , 58. 7% and 79. 1% in the gastric cancer group, the indicators in the two groups expression were significantly different (P < 0. 05 ); pl6 expression was a significant difference (P < 0. 05) in serosa involved group and not serosa involved group; pl6, p53 and Mad2 in the group with lymph node metastasis and lymph node metastasis group there are significant differences (P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The pl6, p53 and Mad2 gene abnormal expression play an important role in gastric cancer incidence, development and prognosis.
