Downregulated SASH1 Expression Indicates Poor Clinical Prognosis in Gastric Cancer

SASH1 (SAM- and SH3-domain containing 1), a novel candidate tumor suppressor, has attracted attention due to its role in intracellular signal transduction and its tumor prognostic value in diverse cancers. Reports have demonstrated that reduced SASH1 expression correlates with tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. However, the expression and prognostic significance of SASH1 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In this study, 8 paired fresh-frozen GC tissues and corresponding gastric mucosal tissues were examined by Western blot to analyze the protein expression of SASH1.
