Abstract:
Objective :To investigate the expression of trefoil factor 1,trefoil factor 2 in gastric cancer and precancerous lesion,thus to investigate the relationship of TFF1、TFF2 expression and the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.
Methods :The expression of TFF1,TFF2 was determined by immuno-histochemical method in 120 gastric specimens including normal gastritic mucosa (30 specimens),intestinal metaplasia in gastric mucosa (30 specimens),displasic gastric mucosa (30 specimens) and gastric carcinomas (30 specimens).
Results :In normal contral group,precancerous group and gastric carcinoma group,the level of TFF1 and TFF2 expression had a decreasing tendency (
P<0.05).
Conclusion :The expression of TFF1, TFF2 protein was dowen regulated in the process of gastric cancer.
