Background: The molecular events that underlie the conversion of normal human gastric epithelium into adenocarcinoma arc poorly understood. MUC1 overexpression and localization in mitochondria might confer cancer cells with attenuation of stress induced apoptosis. We studied MUC1 expression pattern, interaction with HSP70 and localization in mitochondria in preneoplastic and neoplastic human gastric tissues.Methods: lmmunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to study MUC1 expression pattern and localization in mitochondria. Coimmunoprecipitation was used to study MUC1 interaction with HSP70. MUC1 expression was correlated with other causative features including erbB2 expression.Results: MUC1 was expressed in 75.8% (147/194). MUC1 overexpression was detected in 50.0% (19/38 cases) dysplasia and 58.2% (32/55 cases) adenocarcinoma tissues. MUC1-CT-HSP70 interaction was seen in 71.66% (43/60 cases) and MUC1 localized to mitochondria in 33.33% (5/15) dysplasia samples and in 47.05% (8/17) adenocarcinoma samples. MUC1 expression showed significant association with smoking (chi(2)=5.945; p
