Abstract:Objective To explore the differential expression level of Gadd45α and NF-κB in human gastric cancer with Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection status, and to explore a way to clinical diagnosis and treatment for gastric cancer. Methods A total of 70 paraffin-emeded samples of gastric cancer and 56 normal tissues from surgical resected tissues were selected randomly. We analyzed the correlation between the expression of Gadd45α protein and NF-κB in gastric carcinoma. Results The positive rates of expression of NF-κB protein in HP+ gastric carcinoma tissues, HP-gastric carcinoma tissues and HP+ adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were 82.5%, 53.33% and 26.32% respectively. The positive rates of expression of Gadd45α protein in HP+ gastric carcinoma tissues, HP-gastric carcinoma tissues and HP+ adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were 77.5%, 46.67% and 34.21% respectively. The difference of the expression levels was significant (P < 0.05 ). The expression of Gadd45α protein in gastric carcinoma samples was positively correlated with NF-κB (P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The levels of Gadd45α and NF-κB protein expression are up-regulated in HP+ gastric carcinoma sample. The expression of Gadd45α and NF-κB in gastric carcinoma is positively correlated.
