                            <p>AmaçMide kanserinde MLH1, PMS2, MSH6, MSH2’in immünhistokimyasalekspresyonları ile klinikopatolojikparametrelerin arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmeyiamaçladık.Gereç ve YöntemYüzüç primer mide adenokarsinom ve tümörsüz 27mide mukozasına ait doku mikroarray (DMA) kesitlerineimmünhistokimyasal uygulama yapıldı. Tümmarkerlar nükleer boyanma açısından değerlendirildi.Markerlardan herhangi birinde negatiflik eksiklikolarak kabul edildi. Daha sonra hatalı eşleşme genlerindeeksiklik var (dMMR) ve hatalı eşleşme genlerisağlam (pMMR) olmak üzere 2 alt grup arasındakarşılaştırma yapıldı.BulgularHistopatolojik olarak intestinal ve intestinal olmayanalt tiplerinden, MSH2’nin intestinal grupta intestinalolmayan gruba göre ekspresyonunda anlamlı kayıpgözlendi. PMS2 ekspresyonu taşlı yüzük hücreli karsinomdadiğer alt tiplere göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti.Ayrıca MLH1 ve PMS2 ekspresyonlarının kaybınınorta/kötü diferansiye tümörlerde, iyi diferansiyetümörlere göre daha yüksek olduğunu gözlemledik.MLH1, MSH6, PMS2 ekspresyon kaybı ve dMMRolan olgularda pMMR’li olgulara göre perinöral invazyonanlamlı şekilde daha yüksekti. Kemoterapi/radyoterapi alan ve almayan gruplar karşılaştırıldığındadMMR ve pMMR arasında anlamlı fark yoktu.MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 ekspresyonları ile sağkalımarasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı.SonuçPerinöral invazyon ile MLH1, MSH6 ve PMS2 ekspresyonkaybı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulduk. PMS2ekspresyonu taşlı yüzük hücreli karsinomda diğer alttiplere göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti.</p></trans-abstract>

All markers were evaluatedfor the presence of nuclear staining. Negative expressionin any of the markers was accepted as adeficiency. Then, the comparison was made betweenthe two subgroups as; deficient mismatch repair(dMMR) and proficient mismatch repair (pMMR).ResultsThe histopathological subtypes as intestinal andnon-intestinal, the intestinal group showed significantdeficient expression of MSH2 compared withthe non-intestinal group. PMS2 expression was significantlyhigher in the other subtypes than signet ringcell carcinoma. Also, we observed that the loss ofMLH1 and PMS2 expressions were higher in moderately/poor differantiated tumors than the well differantiatedones. Perineural invasion was significantlyhigher in patients with loss of MLH1, MSH6, PMS2expression and dMMR compared to patients withpMMR. There was no significant difference betweendMMR and pMMR when compared the groupswho received chemotherapy/ radiotherapy and whodid not. There was not found significant relationshipbetween MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 expressionsand survival.ConclusionWe found a significant relationship between perineuralinvasion and the loss of expression of MLH1,MSH6 and PMS2. PMS2 expression was also significantlyhigher in the other subtypes of GC than signetring cell carcinomas.</p></abstract>
