lncRNA CHAF1B-2 contributes to the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Lnc-CHAF1B-2, a newly discovered long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), plays a significant role in the evolution and prognosis of diverse neoplasms. However, its role in the development of gastric cancer is not yet fully understood. Using bioinformatics analysis of gastric cancer RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we investigated the expression of lnc-CHAF1B-2 in gastric carcinoma and its associated molecular signalling pathways.

Integrative pan-cancer analysis and experiment validation identified GLS as a biomarker in tumor progression, prognosis, immune microenvironment, and immunotherapy.

Glutaminase (GLS), a crucial gene regulating glutaminolysis, has received much attention as it was found to regulate tumor metabolism and copper-induced cell death. However, its biological roles and mechanisms in human cancers remain obscure. Consequently, the integrated pan-cancer analyses and biological experiments were conducted to elucidate its oncological functions.

Multiomics analysis reveals the involvement of NET1 in tumour immune regulation and malignant progression.

Neuroepithelial cell transforming gene 1 (NET1) is a member of the Ras homologue family member A (RhoA) subfamily of guanine nucleotide exchange factors and a key protein involved in the activation of Rho guanosine triphosphatases, which act as regulators of cell proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, and cell movement and are crucial for cancer spread. Research has shown that NET1 can regulate the malignant biological functions of tumour cells, such as growth, invasion, and metastasis, and it is closely related to the progression of pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, and liver cancer. However, the comprehensive role and mechanistic function of NET1 in other types of cancer remain largely unexplored.

Integrated network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experiment analysis to decipher the molecular mechanism of Salidroside on Gastric cancer via targeting NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a highly aggressive and heterogeneous malignancy. The process of ferroptosis regulates tumor growth and represents a promising therapeutic target for GCs. Despite Salidroside (Sal) being able to regulate ferroptosis in a variety of diseases, there are still limited reports on its therapeutic effects and potential targets in treating GC.

Exosomal miR-552-5p Regulates the Role of NK Cells in EMT of Gastric Cancer via the PD-1/PD-L1 Axis.

While previous studies have established the role of exosomal miR-552-5p in promoting gastric cancer (GC) progression, the exact mechanisms through which it modulates the PD-1/PD-L1 axis to affect NK cell function and subsequently influence GC epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) remain to be elucidated. Western blot, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nanoparticle tracking analysis were used to characterize exosomes that were isolated from GC cell supernatants. Subcutaneous AGS cell injections expressing either Lv-miR-552-5p or Lv-NC were administered to nude BALB/C mice.

Helicobacter Pylori-induced BRD2 mA modification sensitizes gastric cancer cells to chemotherapy by breaking FLIP/Caspase-8 homeostasis.

Chemoresistance severely deteriorates the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. Several studies demonstrated that (HP)-positive GC patients showed better outcomes after receiving chemotherapy than HP-negative ones. This study aims to confirm the role of HP in GC chemotherapy and to study the underlying mechanisms.

Endoscopic Stent for Anastomotic Leakage Treatment Post Proximal Gastrectomy in Gastric Cancer: A Case Report.

The management of gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks post surgery is a considerable challenge, characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of esophageal-jejunal anastomotic leaks. Diverse endoscopic intervention techniques have been utilized with enhanced success. We present a case where a 57-year-old patient with Siewert type II esophageal cardia cancer underwent endoscopic deployment of a fully covered stent into a fistula resulting from anastomotic leakage, following a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y and double tract reconstruction.

Development and validation of a programmed cell death index to predict the prognosis and drug sensitivity of gastric cancer.

Aim: Programmed cell death (PCD) critically influences the tumor microenvironment (TME) and is intricately linked to tumor progression and patient prognosis. This study aimed to develop a novel prognostic indicator and marker of drug sensitivity in patients with gastric cancer (GC) based on PCD.

Methods: We analyzed genes associated with 14 distinct PCD patterns using bulk transcriptome data and clinical information from TCGA-STAD for model construction with univariate Cox regression and LASSO regression analyses.

NSUN2 lactylation drives cancer cell resistance to ferroptosis through enhancing GCLC-dependent glutathione synthesis.

Lactate-mediated lactylation on target proteins is recently identified as the novel posttranslational modification with profound biological functions. RNA 5-methylcytosine (mC) modification possesses dynamic and reversible nature, suggesting that activity of its methyltransferase NSUN2 is actively regulated. However, how NSUN2 activity is response to acidic condition in tumor microenvironment and then regulates cancer cell survival remain to be clarified.

Can a diet rich in Brassicaceae help control infection? A systematic review.

Introduction: () infection is highly prevalent globally and poses a significant public health challenge due to its link with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric malignancies. 's persistence within the gastric environment, particularly in case of infection with virulent strains, triggers chronic inflammatory responses and mucosal damage. Antibiotic therapy is the primary approach for eradication, but antibiotic resistance and adverse effects hinder treatment efficacy.
