Microsatellite instability (MSI) is one of the subgroups based on the new molecular classification of gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we analyzed the role of KRAS status in MSI GC and the impact of MSI status on KRAS mutation. We performed analysis on 595 GC patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the screening of KRAS mutation (exon 2) and 5 quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide repeats, namely, BAT-26, BAT-25, NR -24, NR-21, and NR-27 were used to determine the MSI status. The KRAS and MSI status were then compared with clinicopathologic data of the GC patients. MSI GC was found in 20.3% of all cases. KRAS mutation was seen in 24 patients; 18 were MSI (75%) and 6 were microsatellite stable (MSS) (25%). MSI GC patients with KRAS mutation were older and mostly female, but MSS presented more advanced T and N stage of the disease, more cardia tumors, and adjuvant treatment. Five-year survival was 72.2% for KRAS mutation patients with MSI and 0% for MSS (p < 0.001). Although KRAS mutations in GC are linked with MSI in the majority of cases, KRAS mutations with MSS status presented with a poor prognosis and a worse outcome. In multivariate analysis, MSI was associated with better survival (p < 0.001) but KRAS was with worse survival (p = 0.304). Our study suggests that KRAS mutations are based on MSI status rather than different codon subtypes of mutation, and such a division could be used to determine the GC patient outcome.

Abstract

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is one of the subgroups based on the new molecular classification of gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we analyzed the role of KRAS status in MSI GC and the impact of MSI status on KRAS mutation. We performed analysis on 595 GC patients. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the screening of KRAS mutation (exon 2) and 5 quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide repeats, namely, BAT-26, BAT-25, NR -24, NR-21, and NR-27 were used to determine the MSI status. The KRAS and MSI status were then compared with clinicopathologic data of the GC patients. MSI GC was found in 20.3% of all cases. KRAS mutation was seen in 24 patients; 18 were MSI (75%) and 6 were microsatellite stable (MSS) (25%). MSI GC patients with KRAS mutation were older and mostly female, but MSS presented more advanced T and N stage of the disease, more cardia tumors, and adjuvant treatment. Five-year survival was 72.2% for KRAS mutation patients with MSI and 0% for MSS (p < 0.001). Although KRAS mutations in GC are linked with MSI in the majority of cases, KRAS mutations with MSS status presented with a poor prognosis and a worse outcome. In multivariate analysis, MSI was associated with better survival (p < 0.001) but KRAS was with worse survival (p = 0.304). Our study suggests that KRAS mutations are based on MSI status rather than different codon subtypes of mutation, and such a division could be used to determine the GC patient outcome.
