Aims: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays an important role in gastric carcinoma. Using a case-control study, we analyzed the genotypic distribution of TLR4 rs10983755 (-2081G/A) and rs11536878 in a Chinese population and investigated the effect of their interactions with Helicobacter pylori infection on susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC) and atrophic gastritis (AG).
Methods: In this study, 409 and 581 cases of GC and AG, respectively, were selected for analyses along with an equal number of matched controls. The TLR4 polymorphisms were genotyped using Sequenom MassARRAY. Serum levels of anti-H. pylori IgG were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: The TLR4-2081G/A polymorphism was negatively associated with GC (AG+AA vs. GG: odds ratio [OR]=0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.53-0.93, p=0.012). A decreased risk of GC was observed in H. pylori negative and TLR4-2081(AG+AA) genotype subjects [H. pylori(-)/AG+AA vs. H. pylori(+)/GG: OR=0.16, 95% CI=0.09-0.27, p<0.001]. The rs11536878 polymorphism was not associated with GC or AG.
Conclusions: The TLR4-2081G/A polymorphism seems to affect the risk of gastric carcinogenesis and may to some degree play a protective role against H. pylori infection.

Cellular senescence, a complex biological process resulting in permanent cell-cycle arrest, is central to aging and age-related diseases. A key concept in understanding cellular senescence is the Hayflick Limit, which refers to the limited capacity of normal human cells to divide, after which they become senescent. Senescent cells (SC) accumulate with age, releasing pro-inflammatory and tissue-remodeling factors collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Background: Atrophic gastritis is of high risk of progressing to gastric cancer. Screening early gastric cancer and predicting the risk of atrophic gastritis developing into gastric cancer could improve the prognosis of gastric cancer.
Objective: This study evaluated the significance of miR-1260b in early gastric cancer and in the progression of atrophic gastritis to gastric cancer aiming to explore a reliable biomarker.
