چکیده

conclusions abnormal e-cadherin expression is a common phenomenon in gastric adenocarcinoma. the study showed a significant correlation between abnormal e-cadherin expression and tumor grade and regional lymph node involvement; so, abnormal e-cadherin expression may be used as a predictive factor for tumor invasiveness in gastric adenocarcinoma. materials and methods a historical cohort survey was performed on tissue samples obtained from 95 total or partial gastrectomy with gastric adenocarcinoma. the immunohistochemistry and giemsa staining were used to assess e-cadherin expression, and h- pylori infection respectively. the association between abnormal e-cadherin expression and tumor histopathology characteristics include depth of tumor invasion, tumor differentiation, tumor phenotype, tumor type, tumor size, neurovascular invasion of tumor, and regional lymph node involvement and h- pylori infection and patient's age and sex, were evaluated in all patients. background gastric cancer is one of the leading cancers in the world especially in iran. there are many genomic and molecular factors that cause gastric cancer to occur, and also there are many markers that associate with tumor invasiveness. e-cadherin is a tumor suppressor gene which produces e-cadherin transmembrane protein, a molecule which plays an important role in adhesion and differentiation of epithelial cells. results abnormal e-cadherin expression was noted in 38% of patients, and 59% of patients were infected with h-pylori. a significant correlation was seen between abnormal e-cadherin expression, and tumor grade and regional lymph node involvement. we could not find any significant association between abnormal e-cadherin expression and h- pylori infection, patient's age and sex, tumor phenotype, tumor type, depth of tumor invasion, tumor size, and neurovascular invasion of tumor. objectives in this study, we evaluated the prevalence of abnormal e-cadherin expression in iranian patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, and tried to find its correlation with h. pylori infection and tumor histopathology.

Abnormal Expression of E-Cadherin in Gastric Adenocarcinoma, and Its Correlation With Tumor Histopathology and Helicobacter Pylori Infection

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is one of the leading cancers in the world especially in Iran. There are many genomic and molecular factors that cause gastric cancer to occur, and also there are many markers that associate with tumor invasiveness. E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor gene which produces E-cadherin transmembrane protein, a molecule which plays an important role in adhesion and differentia...

the frequency of abnormal e-cadherin expression and its relationship with biological behavior of gastric adenocarcinoma

background: e-cadherin is a calcium-dependent molecule that contributes to intercellular adhesion. its proper functioning is important in the maintenance of epithelial structure and integrity. e-cadherin serves as a very important tumor suppressor. in this study, we aimâ to determineâ the frequencyâ of e-cadherin expression aberrancy and its relationship to theâ biologicalâ behavior of gastric ...

HELICOBACTER PYLORI Promoter methylation of E-cadherin gene in gastric mucosa associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and in gastric cancer

Background: E-cadherin is an adhesion molecule involved in tumour invasion/metastasis. Silencing of E-cadherin by promoter CpG methylation has been shown in both familial and sporadic gastric cancers. Helicobacter pylori is a class I carcinogen in gastric cancer. Aims: This study was undertaken to investigate the association between methylation of E-cadherin and H pylori in gastric mucosa from ...

Gastric adenocarcinoma and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Helicobacter pylori infection, thought to be causally related to chronic gastritis, may also be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. To determine whether an association with gastric cancer does exist, we retrospectively evaluated serum samples from 69 patients with histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma (32 with cancer at the cardia and 37 with cancer at other sites) an...

Role of Helicobacter pylori on differential expression of angiogenic markers in gastric adenocarcinoma

Animal studies showed that male gastric tissues respond more rapidly to Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection but the possible mechanisms remained unclear. There is no data about gender specific activity of Androgen receptor (AR) as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in gastric cancer and its interactions with H.pylori and angiogenesis in both genders. To compare the pathogenesis o...
