The expression of PLXND1 and SEMA3E in human gastric carcinoma tissues. (A) PLXND1 and SEMA3E expression levels of cancerous and adjacent non-cancerous tissues from the gastric cancer patients were examined by qRT-PCR and normalized by the GAPDH expression level, and the ratios of cancer/non-cancer expression levels of PLXND1 and SEMA3E were evaluated. There were no significant differences in the PLXND1 expression ratios between the N0 and N+M+ patients (p=0.9171). The SEMA3E expression ratios in N+M+ patients was significantly higher than those in the N0 patients (p=0.0496). (B) The human gastric cancer tissues were classified according to the SEMA3E expression ratio into a high-SEMA3E group (cancer/non-cancer ≥1.5, n=15) and low-SEMA3E group (cancer/non-cancer <1.5, n=47). (C) In the intestinal type gastric cancer patients, the high-SEMA3E group (n=5) showed shorter survival than the low-SEMA3E (n=32) group (p=0.0017), while no significant relation was seen between the SEMA3E expression ratio and the overall survival in the diffuse type gastric cancer patients.
