Objective: To establish a cell model by chronically infecting human gastric epithelial cells with H.pylori, and to determine the effect of chronic H.pylori infection on apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells.
Methods: Human non-tumor gastric epithelial cells GES-1 were cocultured with an H.pylori strain SS1 for 16 weeks, in order to obtain GES-1 "model" cells. Biological characteristics of the model cells including growth, adherence and clone formation were determined. Apoptosis of the "model" cells in response to apoptosis inducers such as H.pylori and other enterobacteria and agents commonly used in the chemotherapy of gastric cancer were measured by flow cytometry.
Results: A cell model of human gastric epithelial cells with chronic H.pylori infection (GES-1 model cells) was successfully established. Apoptosis was dramatically decreased in the "model" cells with and without stimulation by H.pylori and other enterobacteria and some chemotherapeutic agents.
Conclusion: Chronic H.pylori infection induces apoptosis resistance in gastric epithelial cells, which may increase the risk of the development of gastric cancer.

This study investigates the synergistic inhibitory effects of combining the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist cyclic diadenylate monophosphate (c-di-AMP) and ginsenoside RG3 on cisplatin (DDP)-resistant gastric cancer (GC) cells. The objective is to identify novel therapeutic targets and offers insights for the clinical management of DDP resistance. Various techniques were employed, including western blot, MTT assay, colony formation assay, scratch assay, transwell assay, tubule formation assay, flow cytometry, Hoechst 33342 fluorescence staining, and in vivo experiments, to investigate the potential mechanisms and effects of the combined application of the STING agonist and ginsenoside RG3 in reversing cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer.

Despite advances in gastric cancer diagnosis and treatment, its prognosis remains poor owing to aggressive tumor progression and metastasis. As understanding the relevant molecular mechanisms is essential to effectively improve patient outcomes, we elucidated the role of Kindlin-1 in gastric cancer progression and metastasis. Kindlin-1 expression was analyzed in 359 gastric cancer tissue samples provided by Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital and publicly available GSE datasets.

Background: Excessive alcohol consumption poses a significant threat to human health, leading to cellular dehydration, degeneration, and necrosis. Alcohol-induced cellular damage is closely linked to alterations in cellular mechanical properties. However, characterizing these changes following alcohol-related injury remains challenging.

This study investigated the expression pattern of Vesicular Amine Transporter 1 (VAT1) in gastric cancer (GC) and its impact on prognosis, alongside evaluating its potential as a biomarker for immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Analysis of transcriptomic data, supported by experimental validation, revealed that VAT1 is highly expressed in GC and is associated with poor prognosis. Kaplan-Meier and ROC analyses demonstrated VAT1's potential in GC diagnosis, while multivariate analysis confirmed its role as an independent risk factor.
