Abstract:【Abstract】Objective To explore the expression of glycogen synthase kinase3 (GSK3β) in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEPNENs) and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. Methods 69 patients diagnosed as GEPNENs from January, 2010 to December, 2017 were selected from the First Affiliate Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University for this study. 69 GEPNENs’ tissues were collected and the expression level of GSK3β was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, with 10 normal tissues served as control. A statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 21.0. The relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and patients’ survival were investigated by KM survival analysis and Cox regression analysis. Results GSK3β was significantly igher expressed in the 69 tumor tissues tested than that of in control group (P=0006). The expression of GSK3β in patients with stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ was higher than that of stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ (P=0020); the expression level of GSK3β in patients with G1+G2 was lower than that of G3 (P=0001). The expression level of GSK3β in patients without lymphatic metastasis was also lower than that of those with lymphatic metastasis (P=0022). For 69 patients with GEPNENs, overall survival was 66.7%. Median overall survival was 45 months. For survival analysis, the patients’ survival distribution with weakpositive and positive expression of GSK3β (37 cases, 536%, unreached) was better than those with strongpositive expression of GSK3β (32 case, 464%, 247 month) (P=0013). Among the patients of weakpositive and positive expression of GSK3β, only those with G1 + G2 (27 cases, 73%, unreached) showed superior survival than those with G3 (10 cases, 27%, 35 months) (P=0.004). Conclusion The overexpression of GSK3β in GEPNENs tumor tissues indicated poor survival. Grade could predict prognosis in the patients of weakpositive and positive GSK3β expression.
