ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the relationship between the overexpression of PKA RIalpha mRNA and cliniopathological parameters in lung cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of PKA RIalpha mRNA in 54 cases with human lung cancer and matched normal tissues.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) The expression of PKA RIalpha mRNA was significantly higher in cancer tissue (66.7%) than in normal tissues (20.4%) (P < 0.01). (2) The expression was significantly correlated with TNM stage (P < 0.01), being increased with TNM stage. (3) The expression was significantly higher in patients with positive lymph nodes than in those with negative lymph nodes (P < 0.01). (4) There were no significant associations of PKA RIalpha mRNA expression with histological type, differentiation grade or size of the tumor.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This study indicates that the overexpression of PKA RIalpha mRNA may play an important role in the progression, metastasis and prognosis of lung cancer.</p>
