Background/aim: Metastatic lymph node 64 (MLN64) is often co-amplified with ERBB2 (HER2) and plays a role in the progression of breast and prostate cancer. The present study explored the expression of MLN64 in clinical gastric cancer in association with the ERBB family and its impact on drug resistance in patients.
Materials And Methods: Two independent gastric cancer cohorts (n=324; n=87) were used to explore the expression profile of MLN64 in conjunction with ERBB family members in clinical gastric cancer and its association with neoadjuvant chemotherapy responses. Gastric cancer AGS and HCG27 cells with MLN64 knockdown were generated to determine the function of MLN64 in cell behavioural changes.
Results: Gastric tumor tissues expressed significantly higher levels of MLN64 compared with normal tissues (p<0.01); however, MLN64 alone was a weak prognostic indicator. An integrated co-expression of MLN64, ERBB4, and NRG4 was a significant factor in assessing overall survival in both cohorts. MLN64 was a profound indicator of patient response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In vitro studies indicated a significant contribution of MLN64 to the response of gastric cancer cells to chemodrugs and Her-2 inhibitors. MLN64 knockdown also contributed to the adhesion and migration and suggested a possible mechanism mediated by the interaction between MLN64 and ERBBs.
Conclusion: MLN64 is an indicator of patient response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in gastric cancer. Together with the expression pattern of ERBB4, MLN64 is a poor prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer.

P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) plays a role in regulating tumor progression, but it is unclear whether P2X7R affects the pathological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer and the activity of gastric cancer cells. Therefore, this study preliminarily investigated the relationship between P2X7R and clinicopathological features of patients with gastric cancer, and further explored the effect of P2X7R on the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells through functional experiments. The results showed that P2X7R was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cells.

Objective: The RATIONALE-305 trial demonstrated that tislelizumab in combination with chemotherapy regimens was more beneficial than chemotherapy regimens alone in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJC). This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tislelizumab combination chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced GC/GEJC from the perspective of the Chinese health service system.
Methods: A three-state partition survival model was constructed to evaluate the economics of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of advanced GC/GEJC.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is highly invasive and metastatic to the lymph nodes. Therefore, it is an urgent priority to distinguish novel biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of lymph node metastasis as the first step to the disease investigation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have widely been explored in cancer tumorigenesis, progression, and invasion.

Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) is a member of the AKR1B subfamily. It is mainly found in cytoplasm, and it is typically expressed in the stomach and intestines. Given that its expression is low or absent in other tissues, AKR1B10 is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for various digestive system diseases.

Background: B-cell receptor-associated protein 31 (BCAP31) is a widely expressed transmembrane protein primarily located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), including the ER-mitochondria associated membranes. Emerging evidence suggests that BCAP31 may play a role in cancer development and progression, although its specific effects across different cancer types remain incompletely understood.
Methods: The raw data on BCAP31 expression in tumor and adjacent non-tumor (paracancerous) samples were obtained from the Broad Institute Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and UCSC databases.
