Abstract

Gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (GCLS) is a unique variant of gastric carcinoma that represents prominent lymphocytic infiltration and is correlated with Epstein‑Barr virus (EBV) infection. Ezrin expression and activation are crucial in tumor metastasis and induce cell migration of EBV‑related nasopharyngeal carcinomas. Using immunohistochemical methods, the expression of total and phosphorylated ezrin (p‑ezrin), Thr567, was examined in 104 GCLS cases, including 78 EBV‑positive and 26 EBV‑negative cases, as well as 29 non‑GCLS cases. Positive ezrin expression was detected to be at markedly higher levels in GCLS compared to non‑GCLS (P<0.0001). Furthermore, ezrin expression was detected to be at higher levels in EBV‑positive compared to EBV‑negative GCLS (P=0.0294). High expression of p‑ezrin in GCLS was associated with positive lymph node metastasis (P=0.0187). In summary, these results demonstrated that ezrin overexpression is correlated with the histologic characteristics of GCLS and EBV infection. Phosphorylation of ezrin may, therefore, contribute to lymph node metastasis in GCLS.
