High expression of PIG11 correlates with poor prognosis in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: P53-induced gene 11 (PIG11) is an early transcription-related target of p53 that is involved in cell apoptosis and tumor development. However, its biological function in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and relationship with the prognosis of patients with GC have remained elusive. In the present retrospective study, 60 fresh and 790 paraffin-embedded samples of GC were obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Nantong, China) with complete clinical data from all patients. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and tissue microarray-immunohistochemical analysis were used to determine the expression of PIG11 in the respective GC tissues. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the diagnostic utility of PIG11 expression in GC. Furthermore, three
