Core Tip |
A high level of interleukine-8 (IL-8) mRNA expression was detected in more than eighty percent of Thai gastric cancer patients and nearly two fold in the normal Thai population. The majority of northern Thai gastric cancer patients who had negative cagA gene Helicobacter pylori infection even with or without its mutation, still have a high IL-8 mRNA expression level. The pathogenesis of Thai gastric cancer may primarily involve another gate-way besides the bacterial factor. The results show that there is a predominantly cancer inflammation state regulated by IL-8 mRNA expression level that can be detected in Thai gastric cancer patients. |
