  ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to clarify the role of Aurka in the process of formation and development of gastric cancer. The expression of Aurka in gastric cancer and corresponding non-cancerous gastric tissues of 52 gastric cancer patients was assessed with the real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. We also analyzed the relationship between the expression level and clinicopathological characteristics. Aurka gene and protein expression in gastric cancer tissues in both cases were significantly higher than in corresponding non-cancerous gastric tissues (both P 0.05, respectively). Furthermore, Aurka gene expression was markedly higher in gastric cancer tissues of Helicobacter pylori (HP)-positive patients than negative ones (P
