Objective: EphB1 is a member of the Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases that is involved in embryonic nervous and vascular system development. Over- or underexpression of certain Eph receptors has been found in some cancer samples compared to normal tissue. Expression of Eph receptors is related to malignant transformation, metastasis, differentiation, and prognosis of cancers. Recently, the EphB subfamily has been shown to be involved in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer. In the present study, expression of the EphB1 transcript and protein in gastric carcinoma samples was determined to investigate the roles of EphB1 in development, progress and prognosis of gastric carcinoma.
Methods: Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining were used.
Results: The EphB1 transcript was overexpressed in 68.9% (42/61) and underexpressed in 14.8% (9/61) of cases. However, the expression of protein was greatly different from the transcript expression, with overexpression and underexpression being 17.2% (10/58) and 44.8% (26/58), respectively. In addition, we showed that underexpression of EphB1 protein is significantly associated with invasion, stage and metastasis in gastric carcinomas.
Conclusion: EphB1 may have a tumor-suppressive role in gastric cancer.

Background: The interaction between the metastatic microenvironment and tumor cells plays an important role in metastatic tumor formation. Platelets play pivotal roles in hematogenous cancer metastasis through tumor cell-platelet interaction in blood vessels. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy distinguished by its notable tendency to metastasize to the liver.

Article Synopsis
- Arteriovenous malformation of the brain (bAVM) is linked to problems in the formation of blood vessels and leads to direct connections between arterioles and venules, affecting normal blood flow.
- Researchers conducted methylome analysis on endothelial cells from bAVM samples, comparing them to healthy brain endothelial cells, revealing differences in gene methylation that could contribute to bAVM onset.
- Aberrant methylation was found in genes responsible for endothelial cell interactions and neurovascular development, indicating that issues beyond just endothelial dysfunction are involved in the development of bAVM.

To investigate the immunophenotypic and molecular biological characteristics of patients with elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and enteroblastic differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (GAED). The clinicopathological data of 13 patients with elevated serum AFP and GAED admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were collected. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to analyze the immune markers and molecular biological characteristics of the pathological tissues of the patients.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration into the host genome is an important factor in HPV(+)OPSCC carcinogenesis, in conjunction with HPV oncoproteins E6/E7. However, a well-studied investigation about virus-host interaction still needs to be completed. Our objective is to characterise HPV integration to investigate potential mechanisms of tumourigenesis independent of E6/E7 oncoproteins.

Unlabelled: Bone marrow vascular endothelial cells (BM EC) regulate multiple myeloma pathogenesis. Identification of the mechanisms underlying this interaction could lead to the development of improved strategies for treating multiple myeloma. Here, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of human ECs with high capacity to promote multiple myeloma growth, revealing overexpression of the receptor tyrosine kinases, EPHB1 and EPHB4, in multiple myeloma-supportive ECs.
