The aim of this paper was to identify novel proteins involved in the development of gastric cancer (GC). Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) analysis was adopted to separate the differentially expressed proteins between normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and GC cell line SGC7901. Western blotting was utilized to validate the increased expression of sorcin in SGC7901; immunohistochemistry was performed to investigate its relationship with clinicopathological features of GC. Twelve differential proteins were identified. Seven proteins were found to be significantly upregulated (≥two-fold), while five proteins were markedly downregulated (≤0.5-fold), in SGC7901 cells. Sorcin was detected by this proteomic approach with a 5.4-fold upregulation in SGC7901. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry confirmed the overexpression of sorcin in GC. Immunohistochemistry showed us that sorcin was overexpressed in 55 samples of GC tissue (55/85, 64.71%) and was related closely to the depth of invasion, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis of GC (P<0.05). The development of GC is regulated by multiple genes. Sorcin will be a novel molecular biomarker for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of GC.

Background: Esophageal and gastric cancer were among the top 10 most common cancers worldwide. In addition, sex-specific differences were observed in the incidence. Due to their anatomic proximity, the 2 cancers have both different but also shared risk factors and epidemiological features.

Background: The causes of breast cancer are poorly understood. A potential risk factor is Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a lifelong infection nearly everyone acquires. EBV-transformed human mammary cells accelerate breast cancer when transplanted into immunosuppressed mice, but the virus can disappear as malignant cells reproduce.

Oxyntic gland adenomas (OGAs) are benign gastric neoplasms composed of gland-forming epithelial cells with predominantly chief cell differentiation resembling oxyntic glands confined to the mucosa. If the tumor has submucosal invasion, it should be classified as gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type. The OGAs can pose a diagnostic challenge, as they can resemble aggressive gastric neoplasms.

Gastric cancer (GC), particularly in East Asia, is among the most prevalent cancers with high mortality rates. According to recent epidemiological data, patients with GC account for over a quarter of all cancer incidences and approximately one third of cancer-related deaths in East Asia. Liver metastasis (LM) is not only a common form of GC distant metastasis but also poses a major challenge to the prognosis and treatment of patients with advanced GC.
