ABSTRACT: Objective
This study aimed to explore the association of A kinase-interacting protein 1 (AKIP1) expression with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in gastric cancer patients.Methods
Data of 260 gastric cancer patients were retrospectively reviewed. AKIP1 expression in tumor tissue and non-cancerous tissue specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry and semi-quantitatively scored according to the staining intensity and density. Moreover, the clinicopathological features were retrieved, and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated.Results
A kinase-interacting protein 1 expression was increased in tumor tissues compared with non-cancerous tissues (P < .001). In terms of tumor features, tumor AKIP1 high expression correlated with elevated T stage (P < .001) and raised TNM stage (P = .042), while did not correlate with pathological grade (P > .999), tumor size (P = .060), N stage (P = .180), or tumor location (P > .999). Meanwhile, tumor AKIP1 was not associated with the non-tumor features either. Kaplan-Meier curves disclosed that AKIP1 high expression patients had shorter DFS (P = .004) and OS (P = .043) compared with AKIP1 low expression patients. Univariate Cox's regression showed that AKIP1 high expression correlated with shorter DFS (P = .005, hazard ratio [HR] = 1.635) and OS (P = .046, HR = 1.519), whereas multivariate Cox's regression displayed that AKIP1 did not independently predict worse DFS (P = .172, HR = 1.276) or shorter OS (P = .433, HR = 1.183).Conclusion
A kinase-interacting protein 1 may serve as a potential biomarker for deteriorative tumor features and poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients.
