astric carcinoma is characterised by numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations that influence cell cycle progression, apoptosis and DNA repair. These alterations include down-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p21(WAF1/CIP1) and p27(Kip1), and mutations of the tumour suppressor protein p53 and the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. Combined evaluation of the prognostic significance of these alterations has not been reported in Mexican Mestizo patients. AIMS: To evaluate p21(WAF1/CIP1), p27(Kip1), p53 and E-cadherin protein expression, including mutant E-cadherin variants with deletion of exon 8 (del 8) or 9 (del 9), in gastric cancer from Mexican patients. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry for the above-mentioned markers, including mutation-specific E-cadherin antibodies, was carried out in 69 gastric carcinomas; expression levels were correlated with histotype, tumour stage and prognosis. RESULTS: Expression of p21(WAF1/CIP1) alone or in combination with p27(Kip1) or in the absence of p53 was associated with favourable prognosis. Staining of del 8 and del 9 E-cadherin was found exclusively in patients negative for p53 and positive for p21(WAF1/CIP1), suggesting that the p21(WAF1/CIP1) regulatory function of p53 was intact. CONCLUSION: Combined evaluation of the prognostic significance of cell cycle regulators and E-cadherin should be performed. Even though patients negative for p53 and positive for p21(WAF1/CIP1) have a favourable prognosis, it may have a negative influence on prognosis if they acquire in addition E-cadherin mutations which have been shown previously to be associated with poor survival.
