Abstract

Graphic abstract

Background: Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1), encoded by CT83, is a cancer/testis antigen (CTA) and an attractive target for immunotherapy. Our previous study demonstrated frequent CT83 expression in gastric cancers (GCs) and non-tumor sites of the stomach with tumors. Additionally, there was a correlation with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection. Since it currently remains unclear whether KK-LC-1 is expressed in the stomach without GC, this study investigated KK-LC-1 expression in non-GC stomach.

Methods: We investigated differences in CT83 gene expression at non-tumor sites of stomachs with or without tumors in 118 GC patients and 115 non-GC patients. Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analyses.

Results: CT83 expression was detected in 77% of non-tumor sites in stomachs with tumors, which was significantly higher than in stomachs without tumors (7%, p < 0.0001). All patients with CT83 expression at non-tumor sites of their stomachs without tumors carried Hp.

Conclusion: CT83 appears to be rarely expressed in the atrophic stomach, and furthermore, a part of patients positive for its expression will develop GC in the future, suggesting that CT83 expression is a useful marker for predicting GC.

Keywords: gastric cancer, Helicobacter pylori, atrophic gastritis, Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1
