Background: Although incidences of gastric cancer have decreased in recent years, the disease remains a significant danger to human health. Lack of early symptoms often leads to delayed diagnosis of gastric cancer, so that many patients miss the opportunity for surgery. Treatment for advanced gastric cancer is often limited. Immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and the mRNA vaccine have all emerged as potentially viable treatments for advanced gastric cancer. However, our understanding of the immune microenvironment of gastric cancer is far from sufficient; now is the time to explore this microenvironment.

Methods: In our study, using TCGA dataset and the GEO dataset GSE62254, we performed in-depth transcriptome and single-cell sequencing analyses based on public databases. We analyzed differential gene expressions of immune cells in metastatic and nonmetastatic gastric cancer and constructed a prognostic model of gastric cancer patients based on these differential gene expressions. We also screened candidate vaccine genes for gastric cancer.

Results: This prognostic model can accurately predict the prognosis of gastric cancer patients by dividing them into high-risk and low-risk groups. In addition to this, we identified a candidate vaccine gene for gastric cancer: PTPN6.

Conclusions: Our study could provide new ideas for the treatment of gastric cancer.

is a Gram-negative bacterium and human pathogen that is linked to various gastric diseases, including peptic ulcer disease, chronic gastritis, and gastric cancer. The filament of the flagellum is surrounded by a membranous sheath that is contiguous with the outer membrane. Proteomic analysis of isolated sheathed flagella from B128 identified the lipoprotein HP0135 as a potential component of the flagellar sheath.

The scorpion Karsch is edible and has been an essential resource in traditional Chinese medicine for treating numerous diseases. In this study, two small peptides from hydrolysates were examined to elucidate their potential against gastric cancer. The small peptides (AK and GK) were identified using the LC-QTOF-MS-based approach.

With the widespread use of lidocaine for pain control in cancer therapy, its antitumor activity has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This paper provides a simple strategy of combining lidocaine with chemotherapy drugs for cancer therapy, aiming to relieve chemotherapy-induced pain and achieve stronger antitumor efficacy. However, there is still a lack of substantial pre-clinical evidence for the efficacy and related mechanisms of such combinations, obstructing their potential clinical application.

A Haplotype GWAS in Syndromic Familial Colorectal Cancer.

Int J Mol Sci

January 2025

Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, 17176 Stockholm, Sweden.

A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with gastric and/or prostate cancer in their families suggested genetic loci with a shared risk for these three cancers. A second haplotype GWAS was undertaken in the same colorectal cancer patients and different controls with the aim of confirming the result and finding novel loci. The haplotype GWAS analysis involved 685 patients with colorectal cancer cases and 1642 healthy controls from Sweden.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is a multi-factorial disease influenced by both genetic and environmental factors such as diet, obesity, radiation exposure, and infectious agents. Viral infections usually lead to chronic inflammation, which can initiate the development of cancers.
