Exosomal microRNA (miRNA) secreted by tumor cells plays an important biological role in tumorigenesis and development. We aimed to explore the effects of exosomal miR-155-5p in gastric cancer (GC) and understand its mechanism of action in GC progression. We isolated exosomes from the human gastric mucosal epithelial cell line GES-1 and gastric cancer cell line AGS, and then identified them according to their surface markers by flow cytometry. Later, we detected the miR-155-5p expression levels in tissues and isolated exosomes using RT-qPCR. Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-155-5p directly binds to the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of tumor protein p53-induced nuclear protein 1 (TP53INP1) mRNA. We also investigated whether the miR-155-5p-rich exosomes caused changes in cell cycle, proliferation, and migration in AGS cells. In this study, we found that the levels of miR-155-5p were significantly increased in GC tissues and AGS cells, and that the TP53INP1 protein level was downregulated in GC tissues using IHC and IFC. TP53INP1 was found to be directly regulated by miR-155-5p following a dual luciferase-based reporter assay. After co-culturing with the isolated miR-155-5p-rich exosomes, the proliferation and migration capabilities of AGS cells were enhanced. Thus, our results reveal that exosomal miR-155-5p acts as an oncogene by targeting TP53INP1 mRNA in human gastric cancer.

Background: The use of lymph node (LN) tracers can help obtain a complete dissection of the LNs and increase the detection rate of metastatic LNs. Carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) has become increasingly used in radical gastrectomy procedures. This study is designed to evaluate the quality of LN dissection in gastric cancer patients with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy under the guidance of CNSI lymphography.

Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology (CLINTEC), Division of Surgery and Oncology, Karolinska Institutet, Hälsovägen 13, 141 57, Huddinge, Stockholm, Sweden.

Background: The standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer without metastasis is gastrectomy in combination with chemotherapy. Some patients cannot tolerate such treatment because of old age or comorbidities. In this study, we want to test the feasibility of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery (LECS) as a less invasive treatment option.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, China.

Background: The primary objective of this study was to examine whether ARID1A mutations confer a fitness advantage to gastric cancer from an immunological perspective, along with elucidating the underlying mechanism. Additionally, we aimed to identify the clinical potential of combining epigenetic inhibitors with immune checkpoint inhibitors to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy for gastric cancer.

Methods: The correlation between ARID1A gene expression and gastric cancer patient survival was analyzed using the GEO dataset GSE62254.

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.
