Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To analysis the expression of VEGF in gastric carcinoma cell and tumor tissue, our study determined the relationship between the expression of VEGF and tumor incidence, metastasis and prognosis in human gastric carcinoma. METHODS: Treatment of ZD6474 at dose of 30 μmol/L was performed in gastric carcinoma cell BGC823. qPCR and Western-blot were used to analysis the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF. MTT, wound healing and Transwell experiments were conducted to study the effect of VEGF on tumor incidence, metastasis and prognosis. Sixty patients with gastric cancer were selected as the gastric cancer group, and 30 patients with gastric ulcer receiving main gastric resection were selected as control group. The survival curve of patients with gastric cancer in five years was recorded. The correlation between expression of VEGF to incidence, metastasis and prognosis of gastric cancer was evaluated by Cox multifactor regression. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein expression of VEGF in treatment group were significantly lower than that of control group (P< 0.01). The results of MTT, wound healing and Transwell experiments were showed that the cell proliferation, migration and invasion capacity in treatment group were significantly reduced compared to that of the control group (P< 0.01). The 5-year survival rate for patients with VEGF positive expression was significantly decreased compared to the patients with VEGF expression negative (P< 0.01). The tumor size, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and tumor stage were statistically related to VEGF level (P< 0.05). The results of Cox regression multifactor analysis showed that lymph node metastasis, tumor staging and the expression of VEGF were significantly associated to the prognosis of gastric cancer patients (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated that the expression of VEGF was significantly related to the tumor incidence, metastasis and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer, which provides new leads to the diagnosis of gastric cancer.
