全血NPM1、MCP-1和肠道菌群与胃癌进展及预后相关OACSTPCD

Objective To investigate the association of whole blood nucleophosmin 1(NPM1),monocyte chemotac-tic protein-1(MCP-1),and intestinal flora with gastric cancer progression and prognosis.Methods A total of 120 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Nanyang Second People's Hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 were selected as the gastric cancer group,120 patients with benign gastric lesions underwent gastroscopy in the same period were selected as the benign gastric lesions group,and 120 patients with healthy physical examinations in the same period were selected as the control group.RT-qPCR was used to detect mRNA expression of NPM1 and MCP-1.The intestinal microbiota was examined by MicroScan microbial identification analysis system;The correla-tion between NPM1,MCP-1 and intestinal microbiota was analyzed by Pearson method.Multivariate COX regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis in gastric cancer patients.Results The level of NPM1 mRNA,exuberance of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the control group,gastric benign lesion group,and gastric cancer group decreased sequentially(P＜0.05),whereas MCP-1 mRNA,Enterococcus,and Escherichia coli increased sequentially(P＜0.05).Serum NPM1 mRNA,Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ of gastric cancer were obviously lower than those found in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.05),while MCP-1 mRNA,Enterococcus and Escherichia coli were obviously more than those found in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that,there was a negative correlation between serum NPM1 mRNA and MCP-1 mRNA levels in gastric cancer patients(P＜0.05),NPM1 mRNA was positively correlated with Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus(P＜0.05)and negatively correlated with Enterococcus and Escherichia coli(P＜0.05).MCP-1 mRNA was negative-ly correlated with the quantity of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus(P＜0.05)but positively correlated with Entero-coccus and Escherichia coli(P＜0.05).The level of NPM1 mRNA,quantity of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the poor prognosis group were obviously lower than those found in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05),while the level of MCP-1 mRNA,quantity of Enterococcus and Escherichia coli were obviously higher than those in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).COX regression analyses showed that MCP-1 mRNA,Enterococcus and Escherichia coli were risk factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients(P＜0.05),while NPM1 mRNA,Bifidobacterium,and Lactobacillus were protective factors(P＜0.05).Conclusions Decreased level of NPM1,decreased counting of Bifidobacterium intestinalis and Lactobacillus,increased level of MCP-1,increased counting of Enterococcus and Escherichia coli are strongly associated with gastric cancer progression and poor prognosis.
