Regulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) PVT1 on miR-125 affecting the metastasis of gastric cancer cells and the mechanism were investigated. qPCR was used to detect the expression of PVT1 and miR-125 in gastric cancer and paracancerous tissues, and the relationship between PVT1 and clinicopathological parameters of gastric cancer patients. Dual luciferase reporter gene was used to detect the mutual effect between PVT1 and miR-125. The clone formation assay was used to detect changes of proliferation behavior of gastric cancer cells after inhibition of PVT1. Transwell invasion assay was used to detect the changes of invasion ability of gastric cancer cells after inhibition of PVT1. Subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice inhibited the effect of PVT1 on the tumor size and volume of gastric cancer cells. Compared with paracancerous tissues, the expression of PVT1 and miR-125 was significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues. There were no significant differences in the expression level of PVT1 between gastric cancer patients of different genders and ages. The higher the gastric cancer staging was, the more obvious the expression level of PVT1 in the tissues of patients with gastric cancer was, and the more obvious the expression of PVT1 in the tissues of patients with gastric lymph node metastasis was. PVT1 specifically bound to the 3'UTR of miR-125, whereas the inhibition of PVT1 inhibited the ability of proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells. experiment of tumor formation in nude mice showed that the tumor volume and weight of the tumor-bearing mice in the si-PVT1 group were significantly reduced. PVT1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, it can regulate the proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells by targeting miR-125 activity.

Despite improvements in therapeutic approaches, the mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) remains unacceptably high. Evidence suggests that FXYD domain containing ion transport regulator 6 (FXYD6) is downregulated in GC. However, its exact function and the molecular mechanism in GC are still unclear.

Gastric cancer (GC), one of the tumours with the highest mortality worldwide, is not a homogeneous disease, showing different features according to location, macroscopic aspect, histotype and molecular alterations. Adenocarcinoma is the most frequent epithelial GC (95%), the remaining 5% comprising rare epithelial tumours with their peculiarities, behaviour and incidence <6 cases/100,000/year. Due to the low number of cases, many aspects must be elucidated in this context.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used, including among cancer patients, to manage gastroesophageal reflux and other gastric acid-related disorders. Recent evidence suggests associations between long-term PPI use and higher risks for various adverse health outcomes, including greater mortality.
Aim: To investigate the association between PPI use and all-cause mortality among cancer patients by a comprehensive analysis after adjustment for various confounders and a robust methodological approach to minimize bias.

Gastric cancer (GC) and gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC) represent a significant burden globally, with complications such as overt bleeding (OB) further exacerbating patient outcomes. A recent study by Yao evaluated the effectiveness and safety of systematic treatment in GC/GEJC patients presenting with OB. Using propensity score matching, the study balanced the comparison groups to investigate overall survival and treatment-related adverse events.

The sine oculis homeobox homolog (SIX) family, a group of transcription factors characterized by a conserved DNA-binding homology domain, plays a critical role in orchestrating embryonic development and organogenesis across various organisms, including humans. Comprising six distinct members, from to , each member contributes uniquely to the development and differentiation of diverse tissues and organs, underscoring the versatility of the SIX family. Dysregulation or mutations in genes have been implicated in a spectrum of developmental disorders, as well as in tumor initiation and progression, highlighting their pivotal role in maintaining normal developmental trajectories and cellular functions.
