Relationship between inactivation of p16 gene and gastric carcinoma

Abstract: AIM: To investigate the relationship between inactivation of p16 gene and gastric carcinoma, and the mechanism of inactivation of p16 gene in gastric carcinogenesis. METHODS:40 fresh tumor tissue specimens were taken from primary gastric cancer patients. Expression of P16 protein was detected by immunohistochemical method. Deletion and point mutation of p16 gene were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing, respectively. RESULTS:The frequency of loss of P16 protein expression in the gast… Show more

“…In this study, 89% of cases had loss of expression of p16 (positivity lower than 10%) which is similar to literature data of 40%-90% loss 3,6,7 . Seventy eight percent of the cases showed positivity lower than 1%.…”

“…Concerning to Lauren histological type, against expectations the diffuse type was predominant, 1,[26][27][28] no statistical difference between Lauren histological type and p16 expression in the two thresholds studied was found as previously reported, 12 although no agreement on this issue have been reached 7,27 . Although it is known that tumours with p16 loss tend to have a higher metastatic potential immunohistochemistry to p16 in lymph nodes was not carried out in this study, since overall p16 expression is much lower in metastatic lymph nodes than in primary lesion 6 .…”

“…60 On the other, this signal could represent a cytoplasmic retention, and consequently a functional inactivation, similar to that observed in other tumor suppressor genes, including p16 INK4A . 61 At the mechanistic level, degradation by SKP2 was observed in vivo and demonstrated in vitro by siRNA methodology (Fig. 5), to be the most important downregulating mechanism of both KIPs in NSCLCs.…”
