Abstract
Introduction: This study is to detect the expression of inflammatory factor or neutrophil-activating factor IL-8 and Wnt2 in gastric cancer (GC) and investigate the involvement of IL-8 and Wnt2 expressions in the clinicopathological indexes and prognosis.
Material and methods: We detected the expression of IL-8 and Wnt2 in 100 GC tissues and 40 normal gastric mucosae using immunohistochemistry. The relationships between the IL-8 and Wnt2 expression and the clinicopathological characteristics were explored. The relationship between IL-8 expression, Wnt2 expression, and prognosis of GC was analyzed by survival curve and survival regression.
Results: The expression of IL-8 and Wnt2 in GC tissue was 64% and 75% respectively, which was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal gastric mucosa tissues, moreover, expressions of IL-8 and Wnt2 were positively correlated. The positive rate of IL-8 and Wnt2 expressions were correlated with lymph node metastasis and TNM staging （P < 0.01, and Wnt2 was also correlated with infiltration depth (P = 0.021), but there was no difference with age, sex, and differentiation (P > 0.05). The 3-year survival analysis showed that the survival rates of IL-8- and Wnt2-positive patients were 20% and 24%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of negative patients. Cox regression analysis showed that IL-8 and Wnt2 may be independent factors affecting the prognosis of GC.
Conclusions: Our data demonstrated that the overexpression of IL-8 and Wnt2 could be isolated prognostic factors in patients with GC and, possibly, may present new targets for the treatment of GC.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
