Abstract:
:Evidence suggests that multiple molecular events, including alteration of cell cycle regulators are involved in the development and progression of gastric carcinoma. Recently, it has been reported that the expression of p21 and p27, integrating the effects of one or more cell cycle regulators, consequently, acting as a single indicator of several possible cell cycle gene alterations is associated with tumor suppression. In the present study, we studied the immunohistochemical expression of p21 and p27 in gastrectomy specimens from 84 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, and analysed its correlation to clinicopathologic data, including patients survival. Loss of p21 and p27 expression was noted in 45 (53.6%) and 44 (52.4%) of the 84 gastric carcinoma tissues, respectively. The expression of p21 was significantly correlated with histological type (p= 0.005), recurrence (p=0.002) and death (p=0.002) after surgery, and p27 expression (p=0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival plots showed p21 negative group (p= 0.0014) or both p21 and p27 negative group (p=0.0048) was significantly poorer in overall survival than both p21 and p27 positive or one of both positive group. Our results suggest that the status of p21 and p27 expression in immunohistochemical stain may be a useful prognostic marker of gastric carcinoma.
