Abstract
Background: As validated biomarkers for predicting the clinical outcomes of gastric cancer (GC) have not been fully investigated, the present cross-sectional study has aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of tripartite motif-containing 29 (TRIM29) in GC patients.
Methods: The real-time quantitative PCR method was used to detect TRIM29, β-catenin, Cyclin D, and Bcl-2 expression in 40 gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Association of TRIM29 expression level with some clinicopathological features and patients' overall survival (OS) was assessed using several statistical analyses including, Pearson’s correlation test, Kaplan–Meier method, and Cox regression.
Results: Our results showed that TRIM29 expression level was significantly lower in GC tissues compared with that in the corresponding normal tissue (fold change=0.34, p=0.003). In subgroup analysis based on the TRIM29 expression, patients with low TRIM29 expression level exhibited poorer overall survival (HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.06-1.47, p=0.007). Low expression of TRIM29 were also associated with increased level of β-catenin, Cyclin D, and Bcl-2 genes expression.
Conclusion: It was concluded that down-regulated expression of TRIM29 is associated with poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer. TRIM29 may play a protective role in malignant progression of gastric cancer by relieving the effects of cancer progressive genes and could be considered as an independent prognostic marker.
