OBJECTIVE: To analyze the expressions of TrkB and TRIM29 in biopsy tissues from preoperative gastroscopy in patients with gastric cancer and investigate the relationship between their expression and rate of lymph node metastasis. METHODS: Through immunohistochemistry, the authors analyzed the expression status of TRIM29 and TrkB in biopsy tissues from preoperative gastroscopy in 67 patients with a diagnosis of gastric cancer undergoing radical operations during 2005 - 2009 at Peking University Third Hospital. There were 39 males and 28 females. Then the relationship was explored between the expression of both proteins and lymph node metastasis and other clinical pathological factors. Image pro Plus 6.0 software was used for image analysis. The data underwent a logarithmic process and were analyzed through SPSS 17.0 statistical software. RESULTS: The expression of TrkB in lymph node metastasis (n = 42) was higher than that in without lymph node metastasis (n = 25) (lgA 4.79 ± 0.42 vs 3.98 ± 0.71, t = -5.873, P = 0.003), while the expression of TRIM29 with lymph node metastasis (n = 36) was also higher than that in without lymph node metastasis (n = 24) (5.21 ± 0.27 vs 5.02 ± 0.37, t = -2.257, P = 0.040). Logistic regression analysis showed that the TrkB expression was an independent predictor for lymph node metastasis. A discriminant was set based on the result (discriminant value = 1.705 × TrkB lgA+ 1.803 × TRIM29 lgA-16.880, cutoff value = 0). This discriminant achieved a prediction accuracy of 80.0% (48/60), a positive likelihood ratio 3.332 and a negative likelihood ratio 0.223. Patients with a high expression of TrkB showed a worse survival rate than those with a low TrkB expression [36.0% (9/25) vs 66.7% (16/24), P = 0.047). Patients with a high TRIM 29 expression showed a worse survival rate than those with a low TRIM29 expression [38.1% (8/21) vs 66.7% (14/21), P = 0.044]. CONCLUSION: The expressions of TrkB and TRIM29 are correlated with lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer, and discriminant based on the expressions of TrkB and TRIM29 had important values for preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer.
