title: Comparison of nuclear matrix proteins between gastric cancer and normal gastric tissue.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the alteration of nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs) in gastric cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  The NMPs extracted from 22 cases of gastric cancer and normal gastric tissues were investigated by SDS-PAGE technique and the data were analyzed using Genetools analysis software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with normal gastric tissue, the expression of 30 ku and 28 ku NMPs in gastric cancer decreased significantly (P=0.002, P=0.001, P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the expression of the two NMPs between the various differentiated grades (P=0.947, P=0.356) and clinical stages of gastric cancer (P=0.920, P=0.243, P>0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results suggested that the alteration of NMPs in gastric cancer occurred at the early stage of gastric cancer development.
