Popis: Receptor of activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) is an essential scaffold and anchoring protein, which serves an important role in multiple tumorigenesis signaling pathways. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of RACK1 in gastric cancer (GC), and its association with the occurrence and development of GC. In addition, the effect and mechanism of RACK1 overexpression on the growth, and proliferation of GC cells was examined. Firstly, the protein expression of RACK1 was detected in 70 cases of GC tissues and 30 cases of noncancerous tissues using immunohistochemical staining, and the association between clinical and pathological features of GC was analyzed. Secondly, the mRNA and protein expression of RACK1 was determined in the poorly-differentiated human gastric cancer cell line HGC27 and gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. The growth of HGC27 cells following the upregulation of RACK1 was detected using MTT method. Subsequently, the interaction and co-location between RACK1, and WEE1 homolog (S. pombe) (WEE1) in HGC27 cells was confirmed using co-immunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence. The expression level of RACK1 in GC was significantly lower compared with that in pericarcinous tissues (P
