  • Title: Gastric adenocarcinoma arising in gastritis cystica profunda presenting with selective loss of KCNE2 expression.

    Journal: World J Gastroenterol; 2013 Feb 28; 19(8):1314-7. PubMed ID: 23483772.
    Abstract:
    Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare condition caused by ectopic entrapment of gastric glands, probably secondary to the disruption of muscularis mucosae. GCP is often associated with gastric adenocarcinoma, and loss of the KCNE2 subunit from potassium channel complexes is considered a common primary target molecule leads to both GCP and malignancy. In this study, we, for the first time, analyzed the expression of KCNE2 in surgically excised tissue from human gastric cancer associated with GCP and confirmed that reduced KCNE2 expression correlates with disease formation.
