Aim: To evaluate for the first time the protein and mRNA expression of 14-3-3ε in gastric carcinogenesis.

Methods: 14-3-3ε protein expression was determined by western blotting, and mRNA expression was examined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR in gastric tumors and their matched non-neoplastic gastric tissue samples.

Results: Authors observed a significant reduction of 14-3-3ε protein expression in gastric cancer (GC) samples compared to their matched non-neoplastic tissue. Reduced levels of 14-3-3ε were also associated with diffuse-type GC and early-onset of this pathology. Our data suggest that reduced 14-3-3ε may have a role in gastric carcinogenesis process.

Conclusion: Our results reveal that the reduced 14-3-3ε expression in GC and investigation of 14-3-3ε interaction partners may help to elucidate the carcinogenesis process.

Background: Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEGJ) is a highly aggressive tumor that frequently metastasizes to the liver. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive this process is essential for developing effective therapies.

Methods: We employed single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the tumor heterogeneity and microenvironmental landscape in patients with AEGJ liver metastases.

Gastric cancer continues to be a leading global health concern, with current therapeutic approaches requiring significant improvement. While the disruption of iron metabolism in the advancement of gastric cancer has been well-documented, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Additionally, the complement C5a-C5aR pathway has been identified as a crucial factor in gastric cancer development.

Objectives: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most malignant tumors. Mounting studies highlighted gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) were responsible for the failure of treatment due to recurrence and drug resistance of advanced GC. However, targeted therapy against GCSC for improving GC prognosis suffered from lack of suitable models and molecular targets in terms of personalized medicine.

Electronic address:

The ethanol-induced BALB/c mice and human gastric epithelial cell (Ges-1 cell) models were used to investigate the Sargassum siliquastrum fucoidan (SFuc) gastroprotective capability. The injury score and histopathological sections of the stomach were used to evaluate the gastroprotective capability. The western blotting and RT-PCR methods determined the signaling mechanism of mice's gastric injury.
