Espression and significance of MMP-14 and MMP-2,TIMP-2 in gastric cancer
gastric cancer and tissues around gastric cancer. Methods:The expression of MMP-14
MMP-2
and TIMP-2 were detected by S-P immunohistochemistry in gastric ulcer tissues
gastric cancer tissues and around tissues from operated patients of gastric cancer (n=30) and gastric ulcer patients(n=20)who were diagnosed by stomach lens. Results:(1) The expression rates of TIMP-2
MMP-2 and MMP-14was 43.3%
76.7% and 53.3% respectively in gastric cancer tissues and 56.7%
46.7% and 40%in tissues around it
but 70%
45% and 30% in gastric ulcer tissues. (2) The expression of TIMP-2 in gastric cancer was lower than that in tissues or that in gastric ulcer tissues(P<0.01).The expression of MMP-2 in gastric cancer was higher then that of gastric ulcer(P<0.05).(3) The expression of MMP-2
MMP-14 and TIMP-2 in gastric cancer tissues were closely correlated to the serosa invaded
lymph node metastasis and TNM stages(P<0.05). (4) There was positive correlation between the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-14 in gastric cancer(rs=0.447
P>0.05).The expression of TIMP-2 was negatively correlated with the expression of MMP-2 or MMP-14(rs=-1.0
P<0.01)in gastric cancer. Conclusions:(1)The MMP-14 in gastric cancer is over expressed.(2)MMP -14 was one of invading and metastasis factors in gastric cancer and could judge prognosis of it. (3)The high expression of MMP-14 and MMP-2 showed that increased expression of MMP-14 resulted in more MMP-2 activation and increased ability of invading and metastasis in the tissues around gastric cancer. (4)TIMP-2 plays an important role in resisting MMP-14 in gastric cancer and gastric ulcer tissues.
