The AT-rich interactive domain 1A (ARID1A) gene encodes a member of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI-SNF) chromatin remodeling complex, and is considered to work as a tumor suppressor in concert with p53. We investigated the clinical significance of ARID1A protein expression in gastric cancer (GC), and examined its association with Epstein-Barr virus-associated (EBV) GC, mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency, and p53 alteration. We performed immunohistochemistry for ARID1A in 417 GC specimens using tissue microarray. EBV infection was examined using EBV-encoded small RNA in situ hybridization. Evaluation of MMR protein deficiency and p53 alteration was performed using immunohistochemistry, and microsatellite instability status was also assessed. Loss of ARID1A expression was observed in 21.1% of GC (88/417), but was not observed in gastric adenoma tissues or non-neoplastic gastric mucosa tissues. Loss of ARID1A showed positive correlations with advanced pTNM stage and tumor invasion (P=0.029 and 0.001, respectively). Overall survival was significantly influenced by the loss of ARID1A expression in wildtype p53 group (P=0.016, log-rank test). Moreover, ARID1A loss was significantly associated with EBV positivity, loss of MMR protein expression, and microsatellite instability high status (P=0.028,<0.001, and 0.011, respectively). All of the results from our cohort were verified using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas. In conclusion, loss of ARID1A is more common in advanced GC and is related to EBV positivity and MMR deficiency.
