Study on expression of Syntaxin 8 protein in gastric carcinoma / 中国现代普通外科进展

ABSTRACT

Objective:To determine the expression of syntaxin 8 in gastric carcinoma and its clinical significance.Methods:To determine the expression levels of syntaxin 8 in gastric carcinoma and pericancerous stomach tissues of 62 patients with gastric carcinoma by immunohistochemistry,western blot.Results:Results of immunohistochemistry and western blot showed that the expression of syntaxin 8 was significantly higher than that in the adjacent pericancerous stomach tissues,and syntaxin 8 is negative in most normal tissues.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Correlation analysis found that the high expression of syntaxin 8 in gastric carcinoma tissue was not significantly related to gender,age,tumor size,TNM stage,invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma,but the higher expression rate was up-regulated in gastric carcinoma with distant metastasis.Conclusion:Syntaxin 8 is abnormal high expression in gastric carcinoma tissues,and is related to the occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma.It may also be a potential target for gastric carcinoma diagnosis and treatment.
