Abstract:Objective To discuss the expressions and correlation of integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 levels in gastritis, precancerous lesions and gastric cancer. Methods Tissue specimens of 80 patients with gastric cancer, 80 patients with precancerous lesions and 50 patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis were collected from 2016.01 to 2019.01 in Lishui People’s Hospital of Zhejiang Province. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 proteins in specimens. The relationship between integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 levels was analyzed by Spearman Rank correlation test. Results The positive expression rates of integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 proteins in gastric cancer specimens were 60.0% (48/80) and 76.25% (61/80), higher than that in gastritis or precancerous lesions specimens (P < 0.05), while the positive expression rates of integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 proteins in precancerous lesions specimens were also higher than that in gastritis specimens (P < 0.05).By Spearman Rank correlation test, integrin β1 expressions in gastric cancer specimens was positive related with Kindlin-2 proteins (P < 0.05). In precancerous lesions cases, there was no statistical difference of integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 proteins expressions between patients with different clinical features (P > 0.05). But in gastric cancer cases, there were statistical differences of integrin β1 expressions between patients with different tumor infiltration depths, TNM stages, tumor sizes and vascular invasion (P < 0.05), and there were statistical differences of Kindlin-2 expressions between patients with different tumor infiltration depth, TNM stages, tumor sizes and vascular invasions (P < 0.05). Conclusions There are significant evidences proofing that integrin β1 and Kindlin-2 levels are abnormal highly expressed in gastric cancer, which closely related with some clinical features such as tumor infiltration depth, TNM stage, tumor size, etc. and possibly involved in the occurrence of gastric cancer.
