摘要: The rapamycin insensitive companion of mTOR (Rictor) is an essential subunit complex 2 (mTORC2), maintains the integrity and functions as regulator Akt full activation. Rictor has been implicated to be involved in growth progression malignancies, however, little known about its expression prognostic role gastric cancer particular. Therefore, we investigated relationship with clinical outcomes, together pAktSer473 pS6, two downstream substrates mTORC2 mTORC1, 396 tissue samples via immunohistochemistry. results showed that 74.0% 55.8% tumors were positive staining, respectively, which correlated well each other. Patients expressions had poorer overall survival relapse-free compared those negative staining. Both associated lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, WHO grading. was also tumor size, depth invasion, thrombus, while distant metastasis. In spite 67.4% rate presented tissues, no significant association observed between pS6Ser235/236, representing mTORC1 activity, clinicopathological features or prognosis. These suggest mTORC2/Rictor/pAkt may play a more important than mTORC1/pS6 progression, could act biomarker potential therapeutic target cancer.
