Abstract

B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (Bmi-1) and Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) are involved in cancer metastasis and chemotherapeutic resistance, respectively. In this study, we evaluated the association between Bmi-1 and RKIP and outcome of gastric cancer through clinical data analysis and in vitro experiments. Bmi-1 expression and RKIP expression were observed in 107 cases of gastric cancer through use of tissue microarray technology to identify their correlations with clinicopathological parameters, patient survival, and susceptibility to chemotherapy. The correlation was confirmed in gastric cancer cell lines, analyzed further by gene overexpression and silencing analysis, a cell invasion assay, and a chemosensitivity test. Positive expression of Bmi-1 was highly correlated with T classification and clinical stage. Diminished or lost expression of RKIP was significantly associated with T classification, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and clinical stage. Bmi-1 is negatively and RKIP is positively related to patient survival. Positive expression of Bmi-1 and negative expression of RKIP are associated with poor patient survival and modest efficacy of postoperative chemotherapy. A ...Continue Reading
