Abstract: Objective To study the expression and interaction of PDZ kinase 1 (PDZK1) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) in Siewert Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. To compare the expression of PDZK1 and PDGFR-β in Siewert Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and distal gastric cancer. To investigate whether PDZK1 is a new target of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) targeted therapy and the basis of molecular typing.Methods Paraffin sections were prepared for immunohistochemical staining. Semi-quantitative scoring system was used to evaluate the results of immunohistochemical staining and then statistical analysis was performed. Results There was 30% (12/40) positive rate of PDZK1 in the adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. There was 95% (38/40) positive rate of PDZK1 in the normal tissues of esophagogastric junction. There was no significant difference between two tissues (P=0.268). There was 80% (32/40) positive rate of PDGFR-β in the adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. There was 28% (11/40) positive rate of PDGFR-β in the normal tissue of esophagogastric junction. There was no significant difference between two tissues (P=0.648). There was no significant correlation between PDZK1 and PDGFR-β in the normal tissue of the esophagogastric junction (r=0.026, P=0.874) and the adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (r=0.111, P=0.497). Compared with distal gastric cancer, the expression of PDZK1 in the normal tissue of the esophagogastric junction was higher than that in the distal gastric tissues (Z=-1.997,P=0.046). the expression of PDGFR-β in the adenocarcinoma tissues of the gastroesophageal junction was higher than that in the distal gastric tissues (Z=-3.811,P=0.000), there was significant difference.Conclusion There was highly expression of PDGFR-β in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. There was highly expression of PDZK1 in normal tissues of the esophagogastric junction. There was no significant correlation between PDZK1 and PDGFR-β in the normal tissues of the esophagogastric junction and the adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. Combined with the clinical characteristics, the adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction may be different from the distal gastric cancer. With the determination of expression of PDZK1, it is possible to provide some reference value in AEG molecular classification and targeted therapy.
