Thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) are important enzymes of DNA de novo synthesis and the salvage pathway in cancer cells, respectively. Intratumoral TS and DPD gene expressions were evaluated to determine the correlation between the expression of the 2 genes in both normal stromal tissues and tissues with different degrees of malignant differentiation in primary gastric cancer. The study population consisted of 78 consecutive patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent surgical treatment. Laser‐captured microdissection of malignant or normal stromal tissues was performed in formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded specimens. After extraction of RNA, TS and DPD gene expressions were measured by the real‐time reverse transcriptional PCR method. Apart from degree of differentiation, TS and DPD in malignant tissue showed no correlation with clinicopathologic factors. TS in malignant tissue was higher in differentiated type cases than undifferentiated type cases ( p < 0.01). However, DPD in malignant tissue of undifferentiated type cases was statistically higher than that of differentiated type cases ( p < 0.05). In normal stromal tissue, neither TS nor DPD had any correlation with clinicopathologic factors. TS in malignant tissue was statistically higher than in normal stromal tissue in both differentiated and undifferentiated types ( p < 0.0001). DPD in differentiated type malignant tissue was statistically lower than in normal stromal tissue ( p < 0.001), but no difference was seen in undifferentiated type cases. TS and DPD gene expressions in primary gastric cancer differ according to degree of differentiation and between malignant and normal stromal tissue. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. |
