Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and gastric carcinogenesis are known to have a close relationship, but the effect of eradication of Hp on Hp-related gastric carcinogenesis has not been fully studied experimentally. To evaluate the effect of eradication in gastric carcinogenesis, an experimental model with eradication in the early, middle or late period was studied using Hp-infected and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-treated Mongolian gerbils. The animals were divided into seven groups: group A (MNU + Hp + eradication at 15 w), group B (MNU + Hp + eradication at 35 w), group C (MNU + Hp + eradication at 55 w), group D (MNU + Hp), group E (MNU), group F (Hp) and group G (control). The tumor incidences at week 75 in the early (group A), middle (group B) and late (group C) eradicated groups were 6.7%, 27.3% and 38.2%, respectively. The incidence of 56.3% in the non-eradicated group was the highest (group D). Incidences in group E, group F and group G were 6.3%, 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The tumor incidences were related to the period of inflammatory status induced by Hp infection. Hp infection strongly enhanced gastric carcinogenesis initiated with a chemical carcinogen, and following eradication at an early period this enhancing effect was effectively reduced. Eradication at an early stage of inflammation might be effective in preventing Hp-related gastric carcinogenesis.

Organoid technology provides a transformative approach to understand human physiology and pathology, offering valuable insights for scientific research and therapeutic development. Human gastric organoids, in particular, have gained significant interest for applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and studies of tissue regeneration and homeostasis. However, the lack of standardized quality control has limited their extensive clinical applications.

Betel quid contains two major ingredients; Areca catechu and Piper betel, often consumed with slaked lime, tobacco, certain flavouring agents, colouring agents, herbs, and spices according to personal preferences. The areca nut alkaloids (arecoline, arecaidine, guvacine, and guvacoline), and tobacco alkaloids (nicotine, nor-nicotine) undergo nitrosation during chewing in the oral cavity with the presence of nitrite and thiocyanate and endogenously. Among the nitrosation products generated areca nut-derived nitrosamine (ADNA): 3-(methylnitrosamino) Propionitrile (MNPN) and the two tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs); N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone) (NNK) are considered Group 1 human carcinogens.

Recently, it has been realized that immune processes participate in the pathogenesis of human cancers. A large number of genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes have been extensively examined for their roles in the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), including IL4 gene rs2070874, IL4RA gene rs1801275, IL18 gene rs187238, IL18RAP gene rs917997, IL17A gene rs8193036, IL23R gene rs1884444 and IL23R gene rs10889677. However, there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further research.

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 T (UBE2T) is a crucial E2 enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), playing a significant role in the ubiquitination of proteins and influencing a wide range of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, invasion, and metabolism. Its overexpression has been implicated in various malignancies, such as lung adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and ovarian cancer, where it correlates strongly with disease progression. UBE2T facilitates tumorigenesis and malignant behaviors by mediating essential functions such as DNA repair, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and the activation of oncogenic signaling pathways.
