A novel mechanism driving poor-prognostic gastric cancer: overexpression of the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 16 promotes growth and metastasis of gastric cancer through regulating the Notch pathway.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide and has high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the role of Krüppel-like factor 16 (KLF16) in GC. Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the expression of KLF16 in gastric cells and tissues.

Aberrant Expression of NCAPG is Associated with Prognosis and Progression of Gastric Cancer.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC), one of the most prevalent malignancies, is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The aim of this study is to investigate the involvement of non-structural maintenance of chromosomes condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) in the prognosis of GC.

Methods: Western blotting and immunostaining were employed to measure the NCAPG level in gastric tissues and cells.
