Objective To study the expressions of phosphatese and tensin homolog deletedin chromosom ten （PTEN）, Fas/FasL system and matrix metalloproteinnases-2 （MMP-2） in human gastric cancer. Methods Seventy-five cases of gastric carcinoma were selected from paraffin wax embodied specimens with full clinicopathological data, and another 15 cases of normal gastric mucosa specimens were selected as the control group. SP immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expressions of PTEN， Fas/FasL and MMP-2 in them. The data was statistically analyzed by χ2 test and relative analysis. Results The expressions of PTEN, Fas/FasL and MMP-2 were correlated with the lymphatic metastasis, degree of infiltration, clinical TMN stage and pathological histological differentiated degree of gastric cancer (Plt;0.05). PTEN was positive correlated with Fas/FasL (r=0.401, Plt;0.001). MMP-2 was negative correlated with Fas/FasL (r=－0.720， Plt;0.001). MMP-2 was negative correlated with PTEN (r=－0.336， Plt;0.001). Conclusion There is guidance meaning in testing the expressions of PTEN, Fas/FasL and MMP-2 in gastric cancer to estimate the prevention, diagnoses, therapy and prognosis of gastric cancer.
