Background/aims: To investigate ER stress-mediated CHOP-signaling pathway of gastric cancer apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.
Methodology: Based on the dose-and time-response experiments about tunicamycin (TM),gastric cancer cell line BGC823 was treated with 10tg/mL of TM for 24h. BGC823 apoptosis was detected with TUNEL assay and ultrastructural changes in BGC823 cells under ER stress were observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RT-PCR and western blot-ting were used to determine the expression of ERS-related proteins, glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CHOP and apoptosis-associated protein B-cell lympho-ma 2 (Bcl-2). After the knockdown of CHOP, the changes were also observed in vitro and in vivo.
Results: TEM assay showed that after treatment with TM, BGC823 cell size became smaller with ER dilation, vacuolization and karyopyknosis. RT-PCR and western blotting indicated that TM up-regulated GRP78 and CHOP expression and down-regulated Bcl-2 expression. The knock-down of CHOP could convert Bcl-2 expression and reduce BGC823 apoptosis caused by ERS in vitro and in vivo, but failed to influence GRP78.
Conclusions: TM can induce ESR and regulate downstream molecules CHOP up-regulation and Bcl-2 down-regulation which lead to BGC823 apoptosis. This study may provide a new theoretical basis for the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

Objective: Proximal gastrectomy (PG) is commonly used to remove proximal gastric cancer leading to gastroesophageal reflux and requires digestive tract reconstruction. This study is to compare the performance of esophagogastrostomy (EG), jejunal interposition (JI), and double tract reconstruction (DTR) on post-PG reconstruction effectiveness.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the clinical data of 94 PG patients who underwent digestive tract reconstruction by EG (37 patients), JI (29 patients) or DTR (28 patients).

Gastric cancer is a malignant gastrointestinal disease characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. The occurrence and progression of gastric cancer are influenced by various factors, including the abnormal alternative splicing of key genes. Recently, RBM39 has emerged as a tumor biomarker that regulates alternative splicing in several types of cancer.

Background And Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a prevalent and preventable disease, yet accurate early diagnostic methods are lacking. Exosome non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), a type of liquid biopsy, have emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for various tumours. This study aimed to identify a serum exosome ncRNA feature for enhancing GC diagnosis.

Background: Fluorescence molecular imaging, a potent and non-invasive technique, has become indispensable in medicine for visualizing molecular processes. In surgical oncology, it aids treatment by allowing visualization of tumor cells during fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS). Targeting the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), overexpressed during tissue remodeling and inflammation, holds promise for advancing FGS by specifically highlighting tumors.
