TRIM50 inhibits glycolysis and the malignant progression of gastric cancer by ubiquitinating PGK1.

Ubiquitination plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor progression. Among the components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), ubiquitin-protein ligase E3 has emerged as a key molecule. Nevertheless, the biological functions of E3 ubiquitin ligases and their potential mechanisms orchestrating glycolysis in gastric cancer (GC) remain to be elucidated.

Unveiling the oncogenic role of CLDN11-secreting fibroblasts in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis through single-cell sequencing and experimental approaches.

Background: Fibroblasts are necessary to the progression of cancer. However, the role of fibroblasts in peritoneal metastasis (PM) of gastric cancer (GC) remains elusive. In this study, we would explore the role of fibroblasts mediated cell interaction in PM of GC.

Circular RNA circWNK1 inhibits the progression of gastric cancer via regulating the miR-21-3p/SMAD7 axis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options for advanced-stage patients. Recent studies have highlighted the role of circular RNA (circRNA) as a novel regulator of cancer progression in various malignancies. However, the underlying mechanisms by which circRNA contributes to the development and progression of GC remain poorly understood.

Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Helicobacter Pylori-Infected Gastric Cancer Cells Induce Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Remodeling via Transfer of miR-1246.

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a significant barrier to the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC). Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-positive GC patients experience a higher rate of LNM than H.

Gastric cancer-derived LBP promotes liver metastasis by driving intrahepatic fibrotic pre-metastatic niche formation.

Background: Liver metastasis (LM) is one of the most common distant metastases of gastric cancer (GC). However, the mechanisms underlying the LM of GC (GC-LM) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the tumour-secreted protein associated with GC-LM and to investigate the mechanisms by which this secreted protein remodels the liver microenvironment to promote GC-LM.

CircTHBS1 drives gastric cancer progression by increasing INHBA mRNA expression and stability in a ceRNA- and RBP-dependent manner.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play vital regulatory roles in the progression of multiple cancers. In our study, transcriptome analysis and self-organizing maps (SOM) were applied to screen backbone circRNAs in gastric cancer (GC). Upon validation of the expression patterns of screened circRNAs, gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed in vitro and in vivo.

miR-151a-3p-rich small extracellular vesicles derived from gastric cancer accelerate liver metastasis via initiating a hepatic stemness-enhancing niche.

Liver metastasis (LM) severely affects gastric cancer (GC) patients' prognosis. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play key roles in intercellular communication. Specific sEV-miRNAs from several types of cancer were found to induce a premetastatic niche in target organs before tumor cell arrive.

CAP2 contributes to tumorigenesis in gastric cancer by targeting transcription factor SOX9.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common tumors and the major cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. The purpose of this study is to identify new biomarker and reveal its potential molecular mechanism in GC.

Methods: The expression of CAP2 was observed by the bioinformatics analysis and western blot assays.

A novel protein encoded by circMAPK1 inhibits progression of gastric cancer by suppressing activation of MAPK signaling.

Background: A novel type of noncoding RNA, circRNA has been reported to participate in the occurrence and development of diseases through many mechanisms. The MAPK pathway is a common signal transduction pathway involved in cell proliferation, inflammation and apoptosis and plays a particularly important role in cancers. However, the role of circRNAs related to the MAPK pathway in gastric cancer has not been explored.
