RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Advanced gastric cancer is a common malignancy that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and is still at risk of recurrence after radical surgical treatment. Chemoradiotherapy, as one of the important treatment methods for gastric cancer, is of great significance for improving the survival rate of patients. However, the tumor recurrence and survival prognosis of gastric cancer patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still uncertain. AIM: To analyze the tumor recurrence after radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer and provide more in-depth guidance for clinicians. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 171 patients with gastric cancer who received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy in our hospital from 2021 to 2023. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the recurrence rate and survival rate; the log-rank method was used to analyze the single-factor prognosis; and the Cox model was used to analyze the prognosis associated with multiple factors. RESULTS: The median follow-up time of the whole group was 63 months, and the follow-up rate was 93.6%. Stage II and III patients accounted for 31.0% and 66.7%, respectively. The incidences of Grade 3 and above acute gastrointestinal reactions and hematological adverse reactions were 8.8% and 9.9%, respectively. A total of 166 patients completed the entire chemoradiotherapy regimen, during which no adverse reaction-related deaths occurred. In terms of the recurrence pattern, 17 patients had local recurrence, 29 patients had distant metastasis, and 12 patients had peritoneal implantation metastasis. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 83.7%, 66.3%, and 60.0%, respectively. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 75.5%, 62.7%, and 56.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that T stage, peripheral nerve invasion, and the lymph node metastasis rate (LNR) were independent prognostic factors for OS. CONCLUSION: Postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for gastric cancer treatment is well tolerated and has acceptable adverse effects, which is beneficial for local tumor control and can improve the long-term survival of patients. The LNR was an independent prognostic factor for OS. For patients with a high risk of local recurrence, postoperative adjuvant chemoradiation should be considered.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Psychosocial stress has become an unavoidable part of life, which was reported to promote tumor development. Chronic stress significantly promotes the norepinephrine (NE) secretion and the expression of leptin receptor (LEPR), leading to tumor invasion, metastasis, and proliferation. However, the mechanism of chronic stress-induced tumor proliferation remains unclear. METHODS: To reveal the effect of chronic stress on tumor proliferation, subcutaneous tumor models combined with chronic restraint stress (CRS) were established. Combined with the transcript omics database of liver cancer patients, the target pathways were screened and further verified by in vitro experiments. RESULTS: The results showed that the CRS with subcutaneous tumor transplantation (CRS + tumor) group exhibited significantly larger tumor sizes than the subcutaneous tumor transplantation (tumor) group. Compared with the tumor group, CRS obviously increased the mRNA levels of LEPR, FOS, and JUNB of tumor tissues in the CRS + tumor group. Furthermore, the treatment with norepinephrine (NE) significantly elevated the survival rate of H22 cells and enhanced the expression of LEPR, FOS, and JUNB in vitro. Silencing LEPR significantly reduced the expression of FOS and JUNB, accompanied by a decrease in H22 cell viability. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that CRS activates the LEPR-FOS-JUNB signaling pathway by NE, aggravating tumor development. These findings might provide a scientific foundation for investigating the underlying pathological mechanisms of tumors in response to chronic stress.

Transfusional therapy is used to cure anemia but raises the risk of hepatic iron overload (IO), which triggers oxidative stress damage, inflammation, and failure even fibrosis. microRNAs play a vital role in developing hepatic diseases. This study presented the mechanism by which IO induce hepatic inflammation through microRNAs. In this study, microRNA expression profiling in the liver was observed after IO for 2 weeks, in which the target microRNA will be found. IO activating the miR-146α/TRAF6/NF-κB pathway was validated, and the molecular mechanism of the IO-induced decrease of miR-146α in the liver was studied in vivo and in vitro. The expression of TRAF6/NF-κB (p65)-dependent inflammatory factors increased, whereas the expression of miR-146α decreased during the IO-induced inflammatory response in the liver. The reduced expression of HNF4α caused by HIF1α and miR-34α may decrease the expression of miR-146α. Overexpression of miR-146α alleviated the hepatic inflammatory response caused by IO. Our findings indicate that miR-146α is a key factor in inducing hepatic IO inflammation, which will be another potential target to prevent IO-induced hepatic damage.

Probiotics play essential roles in immune modulation. Combining probiotics with cancer vaccines potentially can achieve a synergistic effect. To maximize the efficacy of probiotics, proper probiotics formulation is necessary. Herein, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium longum are coated with lipid membrane to achieve the goal of losing less activity and bettering colonization in colon. In the subcutaneous transplanted colon cancer mouse model, probiotics formulation showed potent preventive and therapeutic efficacy, and the efficacy could be further improved by combining with cancer nanovaccines. Probiotics formulation can perform as immune adjuvants to enhance the innate immune response or as in-situ cancer vaccines. In the study of preventing chemical-induced orthotopic colon cancer model, probiotics formulation alone efficiently reduced tumor number in colon and the efficacy is improved by combining with cancer nanovaccines. All in all, the studies demonstrated that probiotics formulation can assist to maximize the efficacy of cancer nanovaccines.
RESUMO
Radiotherapy causes a series of side effects in patients with malignant tumors. Polygonati Rhizoma, Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, and Epimedii Folium are all traditional Chinese herbs with varieties of functions such as anti-radiation and immune regulation. In this study, the above three herbs were used as a herbal diet to study their effects on the hematopoietic, immune, and intestinal systems of mice exposed to three doses of radiation. Our study showed that the diet had no radiation-protective effect on the hematopoietic and immune systems. However, at the radiation dose of 4 Gy and 8 Gy, the diet showed an obvious radiation-protective effect on intestinal crypts. At the dose of 8 Gy, we also found that the Chinese herbal diet had an anti-radiation effect on reducing the loss of the inhibitory nNOS+ neurons in the intestine. That provides a new diet for relieving the symptoms of hyperperistalsis and diarrhea in patients after radiotherapy.
RESUMO
Thermal therapy has continued to attract the attention of researchers and clinicians due to its important applications in tumor ablation, wound management, and drug release. The lack of precise temperature control capability in traditional thermal treatment may cause the decrease of therapeutic effect and thermal damage to normal tissues. Here, we report an implantable thermal therapeutic device (ITTD), which offers precise closed loop heating, in situ temperature monitoring, and thermal protection. The ITTD features a multifunctional foldable electronics device wrapped on a heat-insulating composite pad. Experimental and numerical studies reveal the fundamental aspects of the design, fabrication, and operation of the ITTD. In vivo experiments of the ITTD in thermal ablation for antitumor demonstrate that the proposed ITTD is capable of controlling the ablation temperature precisely in real time with a precision of at least 0.7°C and providing effective thermal protection to normal tissues. This proof-of-concept research creates a promising route to develop ITTD with precise temperature control capability, which is highly desired in thermal therapy and other disease diagnosis and treatments.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Fatigue can be induced after acceleration exposure, however its mechanism is still unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine whether metabolites' changes can decrease cognitive and physical function after acceleration. METHODS: Graybiel scale and Fatigue Self-rating scale were used to assess the seasickness and fatigue degrees of 87 male seafarers respectively after sailing. To test the effect of pyruvate on cognitive and physical functions, five different doses of pyruvate were administrated into rats. Insulin can reduce the accumulation of pyruvate. To observe the insulin effect on pyruvate, cognitive and physical functions after acceleration, insulin administration or treatment of promoting insulin secretion was used. Physical and cognitive functions were assessed using open field test (OFT), morris water maze (MWM) and loaded swimming test (LST) in animals. RESULTS: Physical and cognitive abilities were decreased obviously, and serum pyruvate increased mostly in human and rats after acceleration. Compared with vehicle group, physical and cognitive abilities were significantly decreased after pyruvate administration. Besides, we found a significant decline in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, liver, and muscle of rats treated with acceleration or pyruvate injection, while insulin administration or treatment of promoting insulin secretion markedly alleviated this decline and the impairment of physical and cognitive abilities, compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that pyruvate has a negative effect on physical and cognitive abilities after acceleration. Insulin can inhibit pyruvate accumulation and cognitive and physical function after acceleration exposure.

BACKGROUND: Hypoxia is a characteristic of the tumor microenvironments within pancreatic cancer (PC), which has been linked to its malignancy. Recently, hypoxia has been reported to regulate the activity of important carcinogenic pathways by changing the status of histone modification. NOX4, a member of NADPH oxidase (NOX), has been found to be activated by hypoxia and promote cancer progression in several cancers. But whether it is involved in the epigenetic changes of tumor cells induced by hypoxia is still unclear, and its biological roles in PC also need to be explored. METHODS: A hypoxic-related gene signature and its associated pathways in PC were identified by analyzing the pancreatic cancer gene expression data from GEO and TCGA database. Candidate downstream gene (NOX4), responding to hypoxia, was validated by RT-PCR and western blot. Then, we evaluated the relationship between NOX4 expression and clinicopathologic parameters in 56 PC patients from our center. In vitro and in vivo assays were preformed to explore the phenotype of NOX4 in PC. Immunofluorescence, western blot and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were further applied to search for a detailed mechanism. RESULTS: We quantified hypoxia and developed a hypoxia signature, which was associated with worse prognosis and elevated malignant potential in PC. Furthermore, we found that NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), which was induced by hypoxia and upregulated in PC in a HIF1A-independent manner, caused inactivation of lysine demethylase 5A (KDM5A), increased the methylation modification of histone H3 and regulated the transcription of EMT-associated gene_ snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAIL1). This served to promote the invasion and metastasis of PC. NOX4 deficiency repressed hypoxia-induced EMT, reduced expression of H3K4ME3 and impaired the invasion and metastasis of PC cells; however, knockdown of KDM5A reversed the poor expression of H3KEME3 induced by NOX4 deficiency, thereby promoting EMT. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the prognostic role of hypoxia-related genes in PC and strong correlation with EMT pathway. Our results also creatively discovered that NOX4 was an essential mediator for hypoxia-induced histone methylation modification and EMT in PC cells.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely aggressive disease with poor prognosis. Our previous study found that peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) was capable of enhancing glycolysis in PDAC cells. However, whether PPARγ could promote PDAC progression remains unclear. In our present study, PPARγ was positively associated with tumor size and poor prognosis in PDAC patients. Functional assays demonstrated that PPARγ could promote the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, flow cytometry results showed that PPARγ decreased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitochondrial ROS) production, stabilized mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and inhibited cell apoptosis via up-regulating superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), followed by the inhibition of ATG4D-mediated mitophagy. Meanwhile, the activation of PPARγ might reduce pancreatic cancer cell stemness to improve PDAC chemosensitivity via down-regulating ATG4D. Thus, these results revealed that PPARγ/SOD2 might protect against mitochondrial ROS-dependent apoptosis via inhibiting ATG4D-mediated mitophagy to promote pancreatic cancer proliferation, further improving PDAC chemosensitivity.
RESUMO
Background: The aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3 (ALDH1A3) is a key enzyme associated with a variety of metabolic processes, including glucose metabolism. We recently uncovered that glucose metabolism played an essential role in promoting metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). As ALDH1A3 labels an aggressive subtype of PDAC, we hypothesized that ALDH1A3 functionally promoted PDAC metastasis via its metabolic effect on glucose metabolism. Methods: Expression of ALDH1A3 was detected in human PDAC tissues by immunohistochemistry. ALDH1A3 was knocked down or overexpressed in PDAC cells by either shRNA or overexpression vector. The functional roles of ALDH1A3 were characterized in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptional profiling via RNA-sequencing was used to explore the possible underlying molecular mechanisms. Glucose uptake, extracellular lactate, and ATP production were measured to access the metabolic influence of ALDH1A3 on PDAC cells. Results: ALDH1A3 was associated with poor prognosis in PDAC patients. Functionally, ALDH1A3 promoted PDAC metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Further studies revealed that ALDH1A3 activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and its downstream target-PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma). This led to increase the expression of HK2 (hexokinase 2), which subsequently enhanced the glycolysis in PDAC cells. Additionally, the pharmacological inhibition of PPARγ activity in ALDH1A3-positive cells impaired glycolytic genes expression, PI3K/AKT/mTOR activity and cellular glycolysis. Conclusions: ALDH1A3 promotes PDAC metastasis via its metabolic influence on glucose metabolism. PPARγ and its downstream PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway maybe involved in this process.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive neoplasm featured with regional invasiveness and distant metastasis, which often present a phenotype of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are dysregulated during carcinogenesis, and up-regulated LncRNA-activated by TGF-ß (Lnc-ATB) supports tumor growth and metastasis via tumor suppressor microRNA 200 (miR-200). However, the role of Lnc-ATB in CCA is unclear. METHODS: CCA tissues and non-cancer tissues (n=30) were used to determine the Lnc-ATB and miR-200a/b/c levels. The functions and mechanisms of Lnc-ATB/miR-200 pathway were determined by knockdown of Lnc-ATB via siRNAs in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: CCA tissues have increased Lnc-ATB and reduced miR-200a/b/c levels, but the down-regulated miR-200c was most prominent. Up-regulated Lnc-ATB significant negatively correlated with miR-200c and predicted advanced TNM stage and more lymph node metastasis of CCA patients. Knockdown of Lnc-ATB in two CCA cell lines HuCCT1 and RBE increased miR-200c levels. The luciferase reporter assay further confirmed the direct binding site of miR-200c in Lnc-ATB. Inhibition of Lnc-ATB significantly impaired cell vitality and induced apoptosis and G0/G1 arrest, which, however, was rescued by miR-200c inhibitor. The ability of migration of CCA cells was also up-regulated by Lnc-ATB but was suppressed by miR-200c. Mechanistically, the cell cycle-related CCND1/CDK2, apoptosis-related BCL-2/caspase-3 and EMT-related E-cadherin/ZEB1/2 were regulated by Lnc-ATB via miR-200c. Knockdown of Lnc-ATB in vivo up-regulated miR-200c signals to inhibit tumor growth with decreased PCNA expression in tumor tissues, which was restored by miR-200c inhibition. CONCLUSION: Overexpressed Lnc-ATB functioned as an oncogene for CCA growth and metastasis via miR-200 signals.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Tumor metastasis is an important factor in treatment failure for advanced gastric cancer. Family with sequence similarity 3 member C (FAM3C) is known to play a critical role in inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition in several cancer types, while its role in gastric cancer is unidentified. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of FAM3C in gastric cancer and provide new information on the receptor tyrosine-kinase pathway and cytokine-based therapies. METHODS: FAM3C expression was tested in human gastric cancer tissue and adjacent normal mucosa, and the prognostic effect of FAM3C was analyzed in data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The role of FAM3C in gastric cancer proliferation and metastasis was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence were used to detect the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS: FAM3C expression was increased in gastric cancer tissue and showed cytoplasmic distribution. Gastric cancer patients with FAM3C overexpression had significantly worse prognoses based on TCGA data. In the gastric cancer cell lines MKN45 and AGS, knockdown of FAM3C dramatically attenuated cell migration, but had almost no influence on proliferation, while exogenous FAM3C promoted cell migration in a cell line with low FAM3C expression. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment of TCGA data showed that FAM3C was mainly associated with genes involved in focal adhesion, extracellular matrix-receptor interactions and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Knockdown of FAM3C in gastric cancer cell lines significantly suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition, as demonstrated by increased expression of E-cadherin and decreased expression of Snail and Slug. Furthermore, knockdown of FAM3C strongly suppressed activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Finally, we confirmed that FAM3C knockdown significantly decreased metastatic lesions in vivo. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that FAM3C can promote gastric cancer metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. FAM3C should be taken into consideration for gastric cancer treatments involving inhibition of the ligands and downstream pathways of receptor tyrosine kinases.
RESUMO
Background & Aims: Although nearly half of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients have diabetes mellitus with episodes of hyperglycemia, its tumor microenvironment is hypoglycemic. Thus, it is crucial for PDAC cells to develop adaptive mechanisms dealing with oscillating glucose levels. So far, the biological impact of such glycemic variability on PDAC biology remains unknown. Methods: Murine PDAC cells were cultured in low- and high-glucose medium to investigate the molecular, biochemical, and metabolic influence of glycemic variability on tumor behavior. A set of in vivo functional assays including orthotopic implantation and portal and tail vein injection were used. Results were further confirmed on tissues from PDAC patients. Results: Glycemic variability has no significant effect on PDAC cell proliferation. Hypoglycemia is associated with local invasion and angiogenesis, whereas hyperglycemia promotes metastatic colonization. Increased metastatic colonization under hyperglycemia is due to increased expression of runt related transcription factor 3 (Runx3), which further activates expression of collagen, type VI, alpha 1 (Col6a1), forming a glycemic pro-metastatic pathway. Through epigenetic machinery, retinoic acid receptor beta (Rarb) expression fluctuates according to glycemic variability, acting as a critical sensor relaying the glycemic signal to Runx3/Col6a1. Moreover, the signal axis of Rarb/Runx3/Col6a1 is pharmaceutically accessible to a widely used antidiabetic substance, metformin, and Rar modulator. Finally, PDAC tissues from patients with diabetes show an increased expression of COL6A1. Conclusions: Glycemic variability promotes both local invasion and metastatic colonization of PDAC. A pro-metastatic signal axis Rarb/Runx3/Col6a1 whose activity is controlled by glycemic variability is identified. The therapeutic relevance of this pathway needs to be explored in PDAC patients, especially in those with diabetes.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most common cancer types worldwide, is associated with a high mortality rate, and oxidative stress and inflammation play a vital role in this malignancy. A previous study by our group indicated that ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) was capable of protecting cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS)mediated cell damage and death. In the present study, the role of ABCG2 in CRC was investigated by using clinical samples and cell lines. The levels of oxidative stress markers and inflammatory factors were increased, while the levels of antioxidants were decreased in CRC tissues or the serum of patients. Notably, high expression of ABCG2 in CRC tissues which may be the feedback of over-oxidative reaction, was associated with a poor prognosis. Further in vitro study indicated that the downregulation of ABCG2 induced ROS generation and inflammatory reactions, and inhibited the production of antioxidants. The nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway was activated under oxidative stress induced by ABCG2 knockdown. In conclusion, the present results indicated that ABCG2 may relieve oxidative stress and inflammatory response by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway in cell models, and may thus play a potential protective role in CRC. This information may provide novel theoretical mechanisms and future targets for CRC therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate risk factors of gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) after abdominal non-gastroduodenal operation and its prevention. METHODS: Clinical data of 22 patients with PGS after abdominal non-gastroduodenal operation was analyzed retrospectively, and compared with the patients of non-PGS after abdominal non-gastroduodenal operation during the same time. The possible influencing factors of PGS were analyzed by single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: All 13 selected factors related with PGS, including age, disease category (benign and malignant), operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative analgesic pump, postoperative enteral nutrition time, postoperative parenteral nutrition time, perioperative blood glucose level, perioperative nutrition status (anaemia or lower proteinemia), pylorus obstruction before surgery, intra-abdominal infection after surgery, and spiritual factor were related with PGS. The statistical analysis showed that the difference was statistical significant (P<0.05), and gender had no correlation with PGS (P>0.05); non-conditional multivariate analysis showed that malignant tumor, perioperative nutrition status, pylorus obstruction, operation time, blood loss, intra-abdominal infection after surgery, and mental factor were significant related with PGS as dependent variable and related risk factors in single factor analysis as independent variables (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: PGS is a result of multiple factors, and among these factors, malignant tumor, poor nutrition status, pylorus obstruction before surgery, longer operation-time, more blood loss, intra-abdominal infection after surgery, and mental factor are major risk factors of PGS.
