Abstract

Objective: To investigate PLAC1/CP1 as a potential candidate gene in gastric cancer therapy.<br />Methods: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was used to detect the expression of PLAC1/CP1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues and paired adjacent non-cancerous tissues resected from 28 patients with gastric cancer. Specific antibodies against PLAC1/CP1 were also detected by ELISA method in gastric cancer patients.<br />Results: Fourteen (50%,14/28) out of the 28 gastric cancer samples were PLAC1/CP1 mRNA positive. Of the 28 serum samples tested,eight (29%,8/28) displayed positive seroreactivity against PLAC1/CP1 antigen, accounting for 57% (8/14) of PLAC1/CP1 mRNA positive samples.<br />Conclusion: PLAC1/CP1 mRNA was expressed in high frequency and induced spontaneous antibody responses in gastric cancer patients. PLAC1/CP1 may be a valuable candidate antigen in gastric cancer immunotherapy.
