The study of expression and mutation of gene hMSH2 and correlation of them in gastric carcinoma

Objective To study the expression and mutation of mismatch repair gene hMSH2 and correlation of them in gastric carcinoma,to evaluate their clinicapathological characteristics and the possible mechanism of carcinogenesis caused by hMSH2.Methods(1) 45 cases of gastric carcinoma were examed.The expression of hMSH2 protein was examed by immunohistochemistry.(2)The cells of gastric carcinoma were got through laser capture microdissection.(3)45 cases of gastric carcinomas were studied respectively with five exons of hMSH2 gene emutation by using polymerase chain reaction(PCR),single strand conformation polymorphism(SSCP) and silver-staining.Results(1) In 45 cases of gastric carcinoma,the negative expression rate of hMSH2 protein was 20.00% while the positive expression rate was 80.00%.No significant association was observed between hMSH2 protein expression and patient′s age,gender,part,lymph node metastases,histological type,differentiation and stage of pathology(P>0.05).(2) In 45 cases of gastric carcinoma,five exons mutation rate of hMSH2 gene was 8.89% and not significantly associated with gender,age,part,lymph node metastases and histologic type,differentiated grade and stage of clinical pathology(P>0.05).(3)The hMSH2 gene mutation rates of the gastric carcinoma with the hMSH2 protein negative expression and with the hMSH2 protein positive expression were 44.44% and 0.00% respectively.There were significant difference between them(P<0.01).Conclusion hMSH2 gene mutation may be involved into the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma and cause depressed expression of hMSH2 protein.
