Previous studies show that migration and invasion are the primary causes of death in patients with gastric carcinoma. Increasing evidences have been shown Interleukin-6 could stimulate cancer cells invasion and be associated with cancer development. However, its role in gastric cancer has never been investigated. As an anticancer drug isolated from Chinese medicine, resveratrol was reported to inhibit cancer cells growth and induce apoptosis, but its roles in gastric cancer have not been well understood. In this study, we found that Interleukin-6 was upregulated in blood of gastric cancer patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In gastric cancer cell line model, we found that non-cytotoxic concentration of resveratrol inhibited the Interleukin-6 induced SGC7901 cell invasion and matrix metalloproteinases activation. Our studies showed that IL-6 induced SGC7901 cell invasion depends on the Raf/MAPK pathway activation, resveratrol could inhibit this pathway activation. We further showed that resveratrol inhibits the IL-6 induced metastasis by vein injection of luciferase-labeled cancer cells. In conclusion, these results indicate that Interleukin-6 promotes tumor growth and metastasis in gastric cancer, resveratrol has the potential to prevent the Interleukin-6 induced gastric cancer metastasis by blocking the Raf/MAPK signaling activation.

Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the molecular landscape of gastric cancer (GC) by integrating various bioinformatics tools and experimental validations.
Methodology: GSE79973 dataset, limma package, STRING, UALCAN, GEPIA, OncoDB, cBioPortal, DAVID, TISIDB, Gene Set Cancer Analysis (GSCA), tissue samples, RT-qPCR, and cell proliferation assay were employed in this study.
Results: Analysis of the GSE79973 dataset identified 300 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), from which COL1A1, COL1A2, CHN1, and FN1 emerged as pivotal hub genes using protein-protein interaction network analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate predictive models for perineural invasion (PNI) in gastric cancer (GC) using clinical factors and radiomics features derived from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) scans and to compare the performance of these models.
Methods: This study included 205 GC patients, who were randomly divided into a training set (n=143) and a validation set (n=62) in a 7:3 ratio. Optimal radiomics features were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm.

Current in vitro models for gastric cancer research, such as 2D cell cultures and organoid systems, often fail to replicate the complex extracellular matrix (ECM) found in vivo. For the first time, this study utilizes a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel, a biomimetic ECM-like material, in 3D bioprinting to construct a physiologically relevant gastric cancer model. GelMA's tunable mechanical properties allow for the precise manipulation of cellular behavior within physiological ranges.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is the most common metastatic site and leads to a short median survival. Exosomes have been shown to remodel the microenvironment, facilitating tumor metastases. However, the functional component in GAC cell-derived exosomes that remodel the landscape in the peritoneal cavity remains unclear.

Gastric polyps are commonly detected during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. They are most often benign and rarely become malignant. Nevertheless, adequate knowledge, diagnostic modalities, and management strategies should be the endoscopist's readily available "weapons" to defeat the potentially malignant "enemies".
