Evaluation of GKN1 and GKN2 gene expression as a biomarker of gastric cancer.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GKN1 and GKN2 genes as probable biomarkers for gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer is a multifactorial process characterized by the uncontrolled growth and dissemination of abnormal cells. Survival rates of gastric cancer tend to be poor, a plausible explanation is a combination of a late-stage diagnosis and limited access to treatment. In this regard, finding relevant and measurable biomarkers is urgently needed.

Methods: 27 samples of gastric cancer tissues were enrolled into this study, according to their pathological responses. The alteration of genes expression were evaluated by Real-Time PCR technique.

Results: Our findings showed the significant reduction of Gastrokin-1 and Gastrokine-2 genes expression in the cancerous specimens in comparison with the normal tissues. (P = 0.008 and P = 0.004 respectively).

Conclusion: Our findings showed the significant reduction of Gastrokin-1 and Gastrokine-2 genes expression in the cancerous specimens in comparison with the normal tissues. (P = 0.008 and P = 0.004 respectively).
