Expression of plasma methylated Septin9 gene and its clinical significance in patients with gastric cancer
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in our country. The diagnosis and treatment process of gastric cancer lacks of sensitive and specific biomarker. This study aimed to explore the expression of plasma methylated
Septin
9 gene (
mSEPT
9) and its clinical significance in patients with gastric cancer.
Methods:
From April 2020 to November 2020
221 patients with gastric cancer and 34 patients with no evidence of disease who visited Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University were enrolled. The status of m
SEPT
9 was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fluorescence probe method
and relative m
SEPT
9 value was determined by the ΔΔCt method. Detailed clinical data including pathological characteristics (patients characteristics and pathology characteristics) and serum biomarkers [carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)
carbohydrate antigen (CA)12-5
CA19-9 and CA72-4
]
were collected and analyzed. Paired
t
test
χ
2
test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed for statistical analysis.
Results:
The positive rate
sensitivity and specificity of plasma m
SEPT
9 were 35%
35% and 100%
respectively in untreated patients with gastric cancer. The positive rate of m
SEPT
9 was higher in patients with blood vessel invasion
serosa invasion and lymphatic metastasis
which was 46.87%
vs
12.50%
45.16%
vs
14.29%
75.00%
vs
40.00%
respectively (
P
<
0.05). The positive rate of m
SEPT
9 was higher in progressive disease (PD) patients
than in partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) patients
which were 68.75% and 17.74%
the differences were statistically significant (
P
<
0.05). mSEPT9 level before PD and at the time of PD showed statistically significance.
Conclusion:
Plasma m
SEPT
9 detection demonstrates a more satisfactory diagnostic performance in gastric cancer than traditional serum biomarkers. The biomarker can provide information regarding severity with high positive rate among PD patients. The status and level of m
SEPT
9 were of clinical significance in evaluating tumor burden and predicting treatment response.
