Abstract 184P
Background
The aims of this study were to investigate the expression pattern of CDK12 protein in gastric cancer, and to analyze the correlation of CDK12 expression between CD8+ cell density.
Methods
Eighty-six paired tumor and non-tumor samples were collected from patients who underwent radical surgery and had pathological confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess CDK12 expression and CD8+ cell density. Expression of CDK12 and CCL21 mRNA was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
Results
CDK12 expression in gastric tumor tissues was significantly higher than those in paired non-tumor tissues (P < 0.001). High expression of CDK12 was identified in 43 cases (50%) which was significantly correlated with Lauren’s classification (diffuse type) and number of metastatic lymph nodes (≥15). High CDK12 protein level indicated a relative poorer overall survival of gastric cancer patients, while was not identified as an independent prognostic factor. Median number of CD8+ cells in tumor tissues was 51 (range: 0-292). Number of CD8+ cells was positively correlated with CDK12 expression score in tumor tissues (r = 0.243, P = 0.024). Positive correlation was also found between CDK12 and CCL21 mRNA expression (r = 0.419, P = 0.017).
Conclusions
High CDK12 expression was detected in gastric cancer which was correlated with malignant phenotypes and worse outcome. Positive correlations of CD8+ cell number and CCL21 mRNA expression with CDK12 level were identified.
