Aim: To investigate the protein and mRNA expression of semaphorin 6D in gastric carcinoma and its significance.
Methods: The protein and mRNA expression of semaphorin 6D was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting respectively in 30 cases of gastric carcinoma and normal gastric mucosa.
Results: The protein and mRNA expression of semaphorin 6D in gastric carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa (0.24 +/- 0.06 vs 0.19 +/- 0.07, 0.26 +/- 0.09 vs 0.20 +/- 0.10, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Semaphorin 6D may play an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric carcinoma, and is related to tumor angiogenesis.
