    Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed at the progressive stage of the disease, and current anticancer drug advancements are still lacking. Therefore, it is crucial to find relevant biomarkers with the accurate prediction of prognoses and good predictive accuracy to select appropriate patients with GC. Recent advances in molecular profiling technologies, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have enabled the approach of GC biology at multiple levels of omics interaction networks. Systemic biological analyses, such as computational inference of "big data" and advanced bioinformatic approaches, are emerging to identify the key molecular biomarkers of GC, which would benefit targeted therapies. This review summarizes the current status of how bioinformatics analysis contributes to biomarker discovery for prognosis and prediction of therapeutic efficacy in GC based on a search of the medical literature. We highlight emerging individual multi-omics datasets, such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, for validating putative markers. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future perspectives to integrate multi-omics analysis for improving biomarker implementation. The practical integration of bioinformatics analysis and multi-omics datasets under complementary computational analysis is having a great impact on the search for predictive and prognostic biomarkers and may lead to an important revolution in treatment.

    Mesenchymal activation, characterized by dense stromal infiltration of immune and mesenchymal cells, fuels the aggressiveness of colorectal cancers (CRC), driving progression and metastasis. Targetable molecules in the tumor microenvironment (TME) need to be identified to improve the outcome in CRC patients with this aggressive phenotype. This study reports a positive link between high thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) expression and mesenchymal characteristics, immunosuppression, and unfavorable CRC prognosis. Bone marrow-derived monocyte-like cells recruited by CXCL12 are the primary source of THBS1, which contributes to the development of metastasis by inducing cytotoxic T-cell exhaustion and impairing vascularization. Furthermore, in orthotopically generated CRC models in male mice, THBS1 loss in the TME renders tumors partially sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-cancer drugs. Our study establishes THBS1 as a potential biomarker for identifying mesenchymal CRC and as a critical suppressor of antitumor immunity that contributes to the progression of this malignancy with a poor prognosis.

    リポカリン-2(LCN2)は生体内で炎症反応の調節や抗菌作用など多様な機能を有する分泌性糖タンパク質である。本研究では、LCN2の胃癌における関与とそのメカニズムを検討した。LCN2は、拡散型胃癌と上皮間葉転換型胃癌で発現が低下していた。LCN2の発現抑制は、胃癌細胞の増殖、浸潤、遊走を有意に促進した。その分子メカニズムとして、LCN2の発現抑制は、胃癌細胞におけるEMTシグナルを促進するマトリックスメタロプロテイナーゼ-2(MMP2)刺激に寄与していた。GSEA(gene set enrichment analysis)の発現解析より、ヒト試料におけるLCN2の発現抑制がEMTシグナルに関与していた。LCN2タンパク質およびmRNAの低レベルは、胃癌患者の予後不良と有意に関連しており、LCN2 mRNAレベルは患者の全生存に対する独立した予後因子であった。以上より、LCN2は、胃癌の進行においてMMP2活性を介したEMTシグナルに重要な役割を担っていた。

    症例は74歳男性。庭で剪定作業を行っている際に梯子から転落し、アザレアの枝が左側の胸鎖乳突筋に刺さる事故を起こした。直ちに近医へ搬送され、当日のうちにその除去手術を受けた。以後は無症状であったが、4ヵ月後に嗄声を自覚し始めたため再受診した。精査の結果、刺さった枝が残存していることが疑われたため、上縦隔内の異物の外科的管理を目的に当科へ紹介された。上部消化管内視鏡検査では胸部上部食道の前壁に隆起病変を認め、造影CTでは上縦隔の気管と食道の間に当たる位置に直線形状で約10×45mm大の異物が描出された。異物除去手術を実施し、圧を5~8cmH2Oかける気縦隔下でビデオ縦隔鏡を挿入した。その結果、広い術視野が得られ、瘢痕組織を切開して4cm長のアザレアの枝を注意深く安全に除去することに成功した。処置中に他の縦隔臓器を損傷することは無かった。手術時間は166分、出血量は45mlであった。手術から5日目に合併症のみられない状態で退院した。以降、4ヵ月毎に行った経過観察では創傷治癒が良好であることが確認されたが患者は嗄声を依然として自覚しており、そのため音声リハビリテーションが実施された。

    高齢患者を対象とした化学療法はリスクが高く、治療マネジメントに工夫が必要である。今回われわれは、80歳以上の切除不能進行・再発胃癌患者に対する化学療法の初回減量効果について検討した。2020年1月~2021年1月の間に教室にて80歳以上の切除不能進行・再発胃癌患者にS-1+L-OHP療法(SOX)を施行した6例を対象とした。初回減量群(U群:4例)のうちGrade 3以上の有害事象を来した症例は認めなかったが、通常量群(N群:2例)では1例に認めた。U群では全例が4コース以上を継続し得たが、N群は2例とも1コースで終了となっていた。治療効果としてPRを得たのは3例であり、すべてU群であった。second-lineに移行した症例はU群/N群=2例/0例であり、second-line治療を行った2例ともthird-lineまで移行し得た。80歳以上の高齢患者でも初回より減量することで有害事象の発生率を低減でき、長期の化学療法の継続が可能となることが示唆された。(著者抄録)

    変形性関節症の感受性遺伝子として知られるアスポリンの胃癌における関与を検討した。アスポリンを胃癌細胞株(HSC-43細胞と44As3細胞)で過剰発現させると、CD44の発現誘導とRac1とMMP9の活性化を伴って、遊走能と浸潤能が亢進した。アスポリンの発現は、ミトコンドリアの活性酸素種を減少させることにより、胃癌細胞株の酸化ストレスに対する耐性を高めた。アスポリンは、転写因子HIF1αの発現を誘導し、乳酸脱水素酵素AおよびPDH-E1αの発現を亢進させた。それにより、アスポリンがHSC-43細胞を嫌気的な解糖に再プログラムし、ミトコンドリアでの活性酸素の生成を抑制していると考えられた。対照的に、44As3細胞は酸化ストレスに反応して高レベルのHIF1αを発現し、アスポリンの発現にかかわらずアポトーシスを免れた。アスポリンノックアウトマウスの胃壁に移植された異種移植片を調べたところ、微小血管密度が増加したHSC-43腫瘍の増殖はアスポリンによって著しく促進され、アスポリンはHSC-43腫瘍と44As3腫瘍の両方の浸潤の深さを増加させた。以上より、アスポリンは、グルコース代謝の再プログラムを介したHIF1αによる酸化ストレスへの耐性およびCD44-Rac1とMMP9の活性化による細胞の遊走と浸潤の促進という2つの異なる作用を持つことが示唆された。

    血液中に循環するFGFR2の過剰発現を伴う循環腫瘍細胞(CTC)の同定が、FGFR2過剰発現の胃癌患者の検出に有用性かどうかについて検討した。胃切除術を受けた胃癌患者100例を対象として、胃切除術の直前に各患者から総量8mLの末梢血を採取し、フィコール密度勾配遠心法により単核細胞を濃縮した。各細胞検体でFGFR2を発現しているCTC数をフローサイトメーターで測定した。切除した原発腫瘍のFGFR2発現レベルは免疫組織化学検査で評価した。その結果、胃癌患者の末梢血中のFGFR2陽性CTC数は、原発性胃癌のFGFR2発現レベルと有意に相関していた。FGFR2陽性CTCを持つ患者(≧5細胞/10mL血液)の無再発生存率は、FGFR2陽性CTCを持たない患者(<5細胞/10mL血液)よりも有意に低かった。FGFR2陽性CTCを判定することにより、FGFR2を過剰発現する胃癌を特定できる可能性が示唆された。

    79歳女性。横行結腸癌術後10ヵ月目に臍部痛と臍部腫瘍が触知され、精査加療目的で入院となった。所見ではCEAの上昇が認められ、腹部超音波検査では低エコーを示す腫瘍がみられ、転移が疑われた。また、腹部造影CTでは造影効果を示す臍部に皮下組織から腹膜に至る33×32mmの辺縁不整な腫瘍が確認され、PET/CTでは臍部に強い集積が認められた。以上より、本症例は横行結腸癌術後の異時性孤立臍転移と診断され、臍腫瘍切除術が施行された。その結果、臍部痛は消失し、病理組織学的には横行結腸癌術後のSister Mary Joseph's noduleと確定診断された。退院後はUFT/UZELによる化学療法が行われたが、術後7ヵ月より肝転移が出現し、best supportive careへ移行されたものの、肝転移の増大や癌性腹水、悪液質の進行を認め、臍転移切除術後24ヵ月目に死亡となった。

    DNA脱メチル化剤である5-アザ-2'-デオキシシチジン(5-aza-dC)を胃癌細胞に作用させることで、臨床的に用いられている細胞毒性剤に対する感受性が付与されるか解析した。各種の胃癌細胞株を対象に、感受性試験を行った結果、SN38(イリノテカンの活性型代謝産物)、シスプラチン、パクリタキセル、5-FUのそれぞれに耐性を示す胃癌細胞株を同定した。それらの耐性細胞株を5-aza-dCで72時間処理してその増殖を評価したところ、SN38耐性株とシスプラチン耐性株では50%阻害濃度(IC50)が低下したが、パクリタキセル耐性株と5-FU耐性株では低下しなかった。5-aza-dCでの前処理によってアポトーシス関連遺伝子類が再活性化され、そのうちの2種の遺伝子ではプロモーター領域のCpGアイランドのDNAが脱メチル化されたことが確かめられた。SN38耐性胃癌細胞株を皮下異種移植したマウスモデルをイリノテカンで治療する実験系において、イリノテカン治療前に5-aza-dCを腹腔内投与したところ腫瘍抑制効果は著明に亢進した。5-aza-dCを用いてエピジェネティックにプライミングを行えば、胃癌細胞のSN38およびシスプラチンへの感受性を向上させられることが明らかになった。

    確立したスキルス胃癌細胞株2種に対し全エクソーム配列解析とRNA配列解析とを施行することでスキルス胃癌の発癌ドライバー遺伝子の新規候補を検索することを試みた。両細胞株で発見された突然変異の大部分は未報告のものであった。片方の細胞株ではCD44遺伝子とIGF1R遺伝子の新規融合遺伝子が発見され、ゲノム内でCD44遺伝子とIGF1R遺伝子とが著明に増幅され豊富に発現していた。さらに同融合遺伝子は形質転換能を有することが細胞株を用いたフォーカス形成アッセイとマウスでの腫瘍形成アッセイで示された。もう片方の細胞株はゲノム中に複数の発癌イベントを所有していると思われる所見が得られ、中でも新規に見出されたBORCS5-ETV6融合遺伝子は発癌活性を有することが明らかになった。これらの新規融合遺伝子が実際のスキルス胃癌でも出現しているのかはこれから検討する必要があるものの、スキルス胃癌の詳細なゲノム解析を行うための被検物として細胞株は重要であることが確認された。

    食道癌根治手術後の再発は28~47%、その約85%が2年以内の早期に認められ、再発診断時からの生存期間中央値は5~10ヵ月と極めて不良である。一方、壁深達度T1a(MM)、T1b(SM1)の症例でのリンパ節転移は10~20%であることが知られており多くは手術治療が行われるが、T1a(LPM)ではリンパ節転移の頻度は極めてまれである。今回われわれは、pT1a(LPM)の食道癌根治術後7年という長期経過後に左鎖骨上リンパ節(No.104L)に再発したまれな症例を経験したので文献的考察を加えて報告する。(著者抄録)

    食道扁平上皮癌(ESCC)患者におけるGeriatric Nutritional Risk Index(GNRI)と短期・長期手術成績との関連を調査した。2000〜2012年に当施設で外科的切除後に組織学的にESCCを確認した患者240例(男性196例、女性44例、平均63.4歳)を後ろ向きに調査した。全例が2〜3領域リンパ節郭清と併用して根治的食道切除術を受けた。GNRIのカットオフ値を92として、GNRI<92の低GNRI群44例とGNRI≧92の高GNRI群196例に分けた。リンパ節転移率と病理学的病期は高GNRI群よりも低GNRI群の方が有意に高かった。肺合併症の割合は高GNRI群よりも低GNRI群の方が有意に高かったが、多変量解析ではGNRIは肺合併症発症に対する独立危険因子ではなかった。5年全生存率は高GNRI群よりも低GNRI群の方が有意に低かった。GNRIは全生存率に対する独立予後因子であったが、癌特異的生存率(CSS)は予後因子ではなかった。腫瘍病期の階層化による解析では、全生存率、CSSともに病期III ESCC患者で高GNRI群よりも低GNRI群の方が悪化した。病期III ESCCでは原発腫瘍サイズは高GNRI群よりも低GNRI群の方が大きい傾向にあり、術前嚥下障害の発生率は高GNRI群よりも低GNRI群の方が有意に高かった。

    Scirrhous gastric cancer (SGC) exhibits aggressiveness of the rapid infiltrating tumor cells with abundant fibroblasts. Experimental studies using SGC cell lines have obtained useful information about this cancer. Our literature search divulged a total of 18 SGC cell lines
    two cell lines were established from primary SGC and the other lines were established from a metastatic lesion of SGC. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) and transforming growth factor-beta receptor (TβR) are linked to the rapid development of SGC. Cross-talk between the cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) has been shown to contribute to the progression of SGC. Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 1 (CXCR1) from SGC cells might be associated with the abundant CAFs in cancer microenvironments. The in vivo models established using SGC cell lines are expected to serve as a useful tool for the development of drugs such as FGFR2 inhibitors, TβR inhibitors, and CXCR1 inhibitors, which might be promising as SGC treatments. However, the number of available SGC cell lines is insufficient for the clarification of the entire biologic behavior of SGC. Since the mechanisms responsible for the characteristic aggressiveness of SGC are not fully elucidated, the establishment of new SGC cell lines could help clarify the biological behavior of SGC and contribute to its treatment.

    Background: Tumor-Associated Neutrophils (TANs) may be able to induce lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis, although the detailed roles of TANs remain unclear. The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is an inflammation-based prognostic factor for gastric cancer. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of CD15+neutrophils in the primary tumor and Tumor-Draining Lymph Nodes (TDLNs), and to examine the association of TANs with the clinicopathological features (including NLR) of patients with gastric cancer. Results: Immunohistochemical staining showed that the median number of CD15+TANs was 18 and 24 per high-power field (HPF) in primary tumors and TDLNs, respectively. Patients were divided into high and low infiltration groups based on the median number. A high number of infiltrating CD15+TANs in the primary tumors and in the TDLNs were associated with depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that a poor overall survival was associated with high numbers of CD15+TANs, and the multivariate analyses revealed that a high number of CD15+TANs in the TDLNs was an independent prognostic factor. The numbers of CD15+TANs in the primary tumors and TDLNs showed weak positive correlation. The number of CD15+TANs in the primary tumors was positively correlated with the preoperative NLR, (P=0.001, R=0.327) and immunohistochemical staining revealed that C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) +neutrophils might be the origin of the CD15+TANs. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that infiltrating neutrophils increased in the tumor and TDLN compared to non-cancerous tissue. Neutrophils treated with cancer supernatant upregulated TWIST and IL-6 genes in vitro. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that local infiltration of CD15+TANs may be correlated with inflammation in TDLNs and systemic response to cause metastasis in gastric carcinoma.

    Background: Crosstalk between cancer cells and fibroblasts is crucial for tumour progression. It has been reported that exosomes derived from cancer cells play an important role in the intracellular communications involved in the development of carcinoma. However, the role of exosomes from fibroblasts remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the effect of exosomes from fibroblasts on the motility of gastric cancer cells. Methods: 5 gastric cancer cell lines were used: OCUM-12, NUGC-3, MKN45, FU97 and MKN74. 2 cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) were used. CD9 expression of exosomes from fibroblasts was examined by western blot. The effect of exosomes on the motility of cancer cells was analysed by migration assays. MMP2 was examined by RT-PCR or gelatin zymography. Then, CD9 and MMP2 expressions of 619 gastric cancers were analysed by immunohistochemistry. Results: Exosomes from CAFs were taken into scirrhous-type gastric cancer cells, namely OCUM-12 cells and NUGC-3 cells, but not into other types of gastric cancer cells. Exosomes from CAFs were positive for CD9. Exosomes from CAFs significantly stimulated the migration and invasion of OCUM-12 and NUGC-3 cells, which was inhibited by anti-CD9 antibody or CD9-siRNA. MMP2 expression of OCUM-12 and NUGC-3 cells was significantly decreased by CD9-siRNA. 116 CD9-positive cases were significantly correlated with scirrhous-type gastric cancer, lymph node metastasis and venous invasion. The 5-year survival rate of patients with CD9-positive tumours was significantly lower (Po0.001) than in those with CD9-negative tumours. Conclusions: CD9-positive exosomes from CAFs might stimulate the migration ability of scirrhous-type gastric cancer cells.

    There are many reports on the association between infiltrating immune cells and cancer prognosis. It is generally thought that cancer cells escape from the immune surveillance system in vivo. Cells associated with tumor immunosuppressive mechanisms include macrophages, regulatory T cells, bone marrow-derived immunosuppressive cells (MDSC), and neutrophils. These immunosuppressive cells enhance the production of TGF-β and IL-10 and the expression of PDL-1 by cytokines produced by stromal cells such as cancer cells and fibroblasts, thereby inducing cytotoxic T cells lymphocytes (CTL). On the other hand, it has been proved that CD8+ T cells react in an antigen-specific manner even in advanced gastric cancer, suggesting the possibility that memory T cells, NK cells and NKT cells in gastric cancer tissues correlate with good prognosis. Recently, it has been reported that the presence of follicular lymphoid structure called tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) in gastric cancer tissue is associated with favorable prognosis. Although immune responses are suppressed in gastric cancer tissues, the effectiveness of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1 antibody) has been proved in 2017. The tumor-infiltrating immune cells is known as a predictive effect biomarker. As cancer genome research progresses, which type of immune response is induced is gradually being elucidated in near future. Thus, assessing the invasive morphology and function of various tumorinfiltrating immune cells is considered to be extremely important in Precision Medicine for gastric cancer.

    低酸素環境下の胃癌細胞の増殖に対する反応における解糖系およびグルタミン代謝に対する酵素の重要性を評価した。4種の低酸素耐性胃癌細胞株と患者細胞株を用い、代謝に関連した酵素のmRNA発現解析および、これらの酵素が細胞増殖に及ぼす影響について調べた。全ての低酸素耐性胃癌細胞株において、解糖系酵素ピルビン酸キナーゼのアイソザイムM2(PKM2)およびグルタミナーゼ(GLS)mRNAは患者細胞と比較して高値を示した。siRNAによるノックダウンにより低酸素耐性胃癌細胞株の増殖は減少した。また、siRNAによるノックダウンまたはPKM2阻害剤シコニンとGLS阻害剤BPTES処置では、それぞれ単体よりも併用により有意に細胞増殖が減少した。in vivoにおいても併用処置により腫瘍サイズが減少した。以上より、PKM2とGLSは低酸素胃癌細胞の増殖に重要な役割を果たし、これら阻害剤の併用が胃癌治療に有用と考えられた。

    Background: We sought to clarify the clinical value of the examination of cancer cells exposed to gastric serosa by our novel method of serosal stamp cytology and a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.
    Method: A total of 70 patients who underwent gastrectomy were enrolled. Stamp cytology specimens were obtained by stamping the gastric serosa at the primary gastric tumor lesion, followed by Papanicolaou's staining. Samples obtained by brushing the serosa at the primary gastric tumor were analyzed by our RT-PCR of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 20 (CK20).
    Results: Among the 70 patients, 11 patients were diagnosed as stamp cytology-positive. Eight and five patients were found to be CEA-positive and CK20-positive, respectively. Since 21 of the 70 patients were either stamp cytology-positive or RT-PCR analysis-positive, these 21 patients were considered to be positive for cancer cells exposed to serosa of primary gastric tumor. The 3-year recurrence-free survival rate of the patients with a single positive result by our method (41.7%) was significantly (log rank p = 0.0002) worse than that of the patients with both negative results (81.0%). Our method showed 58.8% sensitivity and 79.2% specificity. A multivariate analysis revealed that a stamp cytology and/or RT-PCR result was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence.
    Conclusion: The examination of cancer cells exposed to gastric serosa by our serosal stamp cytology and RT-PCR system will be useful for the identification of patients at high risk for peritoneal recurrence after curative surgery for gastric cancer. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The aim of this study was to analyze the significance of glucose metabolism-related enzymes in the proliferation of gastric cancer under hypoxia. Four hypoxia-resistant gastric cancer cell lines and four parent cell lines were used. Reverse transcription–PCR was used to evaluate the mRNA expression levels of the following metabolism-related enzymes: pyruvate kinase isozyme M2 (PKM2), glutaminase (GLS), enolase 1 (ENO1), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), and PKM1. The effects of these enzymes on the proliferation of gastric cancer cells were examined using siRNAs, shikonin as a PKM2 inhibitor, or BPTES as a GLS inhibitor, in vitro and in vivo. Levels of both PKM2 and GLS mRNA were significantly high in all hypoxia-resistant cell lines, compared with those of their parent cells. Knockdown of PKM2 and GLS significantly decreased the proliferation of all hypoxia-resistant cells. The combination of siPKM2 and siGLS significantly decreased proliferation compared with treatment by siPKM2 or siGLS alone. The knockdown of ENO1, G6PDH, or PKM1 did not decrease the proliferation of all hypoxia-resistant cells. Combination treatment using shikonin and BPTES inhibited the proliferation of all hypoxia-resistant cancer cells more than that by either agent alone. The in vivo study indicated that the tumor size treated by the combination of shikonin and BPTES was significantly smaller than that of vehicle-treated group. These findings suggested that PKM2 and GLS might play important roles in the proliferation of hypoxic gastric cancer cells. A combination of PKM2 and GLS inhibitors could be therapeutically promising for the treatment of gastric cancer.

    低酸素環境下の胃癌細胞の増殖に対する反応における解糖系およびグルタミン代謝に対する酵素の重要性を評価した。4種の低酸素耐性胃癌細胞株と患者細胞株を用い、代謝に関連した酵素のmRNA発現解析および、これらの酵素が細胞増殖に及ぼす影響について調べた。全ての低酸素耐性胃癌細胞株において、解糖系酵素ピルビン酸キナーゼのアイソザイムM2(PKM2)およびグルタミナーゼ(GLS)mRNAは患者細胞と比較して高値を示した。siRNAによるノックダウンにより低酸素耐性胃癌細胞株の増殖は減少した。また、siRNAによるノックダウンまたはPKM2阻害剤シコニンとGLS阻害剤BPTES処置では、それぞれ単体よりも併用により有意に細胞増殖が減少した。in vivoにおいても併用処置により腫瘍サイズが減少した。以上より、PKM2とGLSは低酸素胃癌細胞の増殖に重要な役割を果たし、これら阻害剤の併用が胃癌治療に有用と考えられた。

    Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of preoperative skeletal muscle mass on short- and long-term outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC) who undergo gastrectomy.
    Methods. A total of 569 patients subjected to gastrectomy for GC at our institution between January 2007 and December 2013 were reviewed and skeletal muscle index (SMI) was measured via cross-sectional, image-based muscle assessment. Computed tomography (CT) and the volume analyzer SYNAPSE VINCENT were required. Patients were divided into two groups, with the first quartile serving as the cut-point for both men and women. Clinicopathologic features and short- and long-term outcomes were compared.
    Results. In multivariate analysis, SMI emerged as an independent predictor of 5 year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with GC. In subgroup analysis, by stage, patients with stage I disease and low (vs. high) SMI demonstrated significantly worse 5 year OS. The incidence of postoperative complications did not differ significantly by group.
    Conclusions. Preoperative SMI, measured in cross-section using CT, is a useful nutritional determinant that may predict OS and CSS in patients with GC who undergo gastrectomy. In our view, nutritional support for sarcopenic patients with stage I GC, aimed at retaining or adding skeletal muscle mass, may improve survival. Our analysis showed no relationship between preoperative SMI and postoperative complications.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: Fibroblasts that interact with cancer cells are called cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which promote progression of different tumor types. We investigated the characteristics and functions of CAFs in diffuse-type gastric cancers (DGCs) by analyzing features of their genome and gene expression patterns. METHODS: We isolated CAFs and adjacent non-cancer fibroblasts (NFs) from 110 gastric cancer (GC) tissues from patients who underwent gastrectomy in Japan from 2008 through 2016. Cells were identified using specific markers of various cell types by immunoblot and flow cytometry. We selected pairs of CAFs and NFs for whole-exome and RNA sequencing analyses, and compared expression of specific genes using quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Protein levels and phosphorylation were compared by immunoblot and immunofluorescence analyses. Rhomboid 5 homolog 2 (RHBDF2) was overexpressed from a transgene in fibroblasts or knocked down using small interfering RNAs. Motility and invasiveness of isolated fibroblasts and GC cell lines (AGS, KATOIII, MKN45, NUGC3, NUGC4, OCUM-2MD3 and OCUM-12 cell lines) were quantified by real-time imaging analyses. We analyzed 7 independent sets of DNA microarray data from patients with GC and associated expression levels of specific genes with patient survival times. Nude mice were given injections of OCUM-2MD3 in the stomach wall; tumors and metastases were collected and analyzed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Many of the genes with increased expression in CAFs compared with NFs were associated with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) activity. When CAFs were cultured in extracellular matrix, they became more motile than NFs; DGC cells incubated with CAFs were also more motile and invasive in vitro than DGC cells not incubated with CAFs. When injected into nude mice, CAF-incubated DGC cells invaded a greater number of lymphatic vessels than NF-incubated DGC cells. We identified RHBDF2 as a gene overexpressed in CAFs compared with NFs. Knockdown of RHBDF2 in CAFs reduced their elongation and motility in response to TGFB1, whereas overexpression of RHBDF2 in NFs increased their motility in extracellular matrix. RHBDF2 appeared to regulate oncogenic and non-canonical TGFB1 signaling. Knockdown of RHBDF2 in CAFs reduced cleavage of the TGFB receptor 1 (TGFBR1) by ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17 or TACE) and reduced expression of genes that regulate motility. Incubation of NFs with in interleukin 1 alpha (IL1A), IL1B or tumor necrosis factor, secreted by DGCs, increased fibroblast expression of RHBDF2. Simultaneous high expression of these cytokines in GC samples was associated with shorter survival times of patients. CONCLUSIONS: In CAFs isolated from human DGCs, we observed increased expression of RHBDF2, which regulates TGFB1 signaling. Expression of RHBDF2 in fibroblasts is induced by inflammatory cytokines (such as IL1A, IL1B, and tumor necrosis factor) secreted by DGCs. RHBDF2 promotes cleavage of TGFBR1 by activating TACE and motility of CAFs in response to TGFB1. These highly motile CAFs induce DGCs to invade extracellular matrix and lymphatic vessels in nude mice.

    Background/Aim: Lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) regulate immune responses. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of LECs on the activation of CD4(+) T cells. Materials and Methods: We examined the impact of cancer cells on the phenotype and production of cytokines of LECs derived from tumor-draining lymph nodes. Results: We showed that LECs inhibited CD4(+) T cell production of cytokines, such as IL-2, IL-10, and INF-gamma. The mRNA expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) by LECs were significantly up-regulated when the LECs and CD4(+) T cells were co-cultured with cells of the gastric cancer cell line, OCUM12. Conclusion: Intranodal LECs may be a key player in the induction of immune tolerance against cancer and in facilitating metastasis through lymphatic vessels in gastric cancer.

    We retrospectively investigated the efficacy and safety of S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) as the first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic/recurrent gastric cancer. A total of 27 patients who received SOX as the first-line chemotherapy in our hospital were considered for the study. The SOX chemotherapy schedule consisted of 1 course every 3 weeks. S-1 was administered orally, at 80-120 mg-body, every day for 14 days. Oxaliplatin was infused at 100mg/m2 on day 1 of each course. The median number of treatment courses was 7. The response rate and disease control rate were 47.6% and 76.2%, respectively. The observed adverse events of Grade 3 or more included neutropenia (33.3%)
    peripheral neuropathy and anorexia (11.1%)
    thrombocytopenia (7.4%)
    and anemia, diarrhea, fatigue, and hypercalcemia (3.7%). The median overall survival was not achieved, and the 1-year survival rate was 63.2%. Therefore, SOX is an effective and feasible first-line chemotherapy that is easily available for ambulatory treatment of patients with metastatic/recurrent gastric cancer.

    Esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer is associated with high rate of postoperative infectious complications (PICs). Although minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) could reduce the rate of PICs, its incidence cannot be ignored. Early detection of PICs may be beneficial in clinical settings. We investigated whether systemic inflammation markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC), are useful for the early detection of PICs.
    We reviewed 158 patients who underwent MIE from 2000 to 2015 and assessed PIC incidence and severity. The value of CRP and WBC in the early detection of PICs was evaluated by receiver operating characteristics analyses. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify severe PICs risk factors (Clavien-Dindo classification, grade IIIa or higher).
    Thirty patients developed PICs: grades III, IV, and V in 19 (12.0%), 9 (5.7%), and 2 (1.3%) patients, respectively. CRP on 4POD showed the highest value for detection of PICs (AUC = 072). Cutoff value of CRP on 4POD was determined as 11.1 (mg/dL), in which the sensitivity and specificity were the maximum value. The univariate analysis revealed that sex (male), operation time (&gt;= 597 min), and CRP on 4POD (&gt;= 11.1 mg/dL) were significant factors for detecting PICs. Multivariate analyses showed that operation time (&gt;= 597) and CRP on 4POD (&gt;= 11.1 mg/dL) were independent significant factors for detecting PICs.
    CRP on 4POD &gt;= 11.1 mg/dL was an independent PICs risk factor in patients who underwent MIE. It will be beneficial for the early detection of PICs following MIE.

    Background: Chylous leakage is a well-known complication after esophagectomy, but cervical chylous leakage is relatively rare, and considerable controversy remains regarding the appropriate management strategies. We herein report a case of cervical chylous leakage treated successfully by lipiodol lymphangiography.
    Case presentation: The patient, a 70-year-old man with middle thoracic esophageal cancer, underwent radical esophagectomy with 3-field lymph node dissection and subsequently developed cervical chylous leakage. From the second postoperative day (POD2), the amount of fluid in the cervical drainage tube increased by 200-300 ml/day. We started octreotide (300 mu g/day) on POD5 and etilefrine (120 mg/day) on the POD6. However, the amount of cervical discharge did not decrease. We performed lipiodol lymphangiography on POD8. Thereafter, the amount of cervical discharge finally began to decrease. We removed the drainage tube on POD13, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on POD23.
    Conclusions: Our case suggests the clinical efficacy of lipiodol lymphangiography for cervical chylous leakage after esophagectomy.

    Peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMC) cover organ surfaces in the abdominal cavity. In this study, lineage tracing revealed that the PMCs guide cancer cell invasion in the gastric wall and in peritoneal metastatic lesions. Serosal PMCs covering the stomach surface entered the gastric wall to create a novel niche that favored gastric cancer cell invasion. PMC infiltration was induced by incorporation of cancer cell-derived, Wnt3a-containing extracellular vesicles. Infiltrated PMCs in turn promoted subserosal invasion of cancer cells. Mutual attraction between cancer cells and PMCs accelerated tumor invasion in the gastric wall, and PMC-led cancer cell invasion in disseminated tumors within the abdominal wall and diaphragm. Addition of the carboxyl terminus of Dickkopf-1 attenuated directional invasion of PMCs toward cancer cells both in vitro and in the gastric wall in vivo. PMCs were sensitive to the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) inhibitor disulfiram (DSF), as ALDH activity is elevated in PMCs. Wnt3a upregulated ALDH, and addition of DSF inhibited the invasive properties of PMCs, whereas DSF pretreatment suppressed gastric infiltration of PMCs and subserosal invasion by cancer cells. Our results suggest that stabilization of PMCs may become an effective therapy for the prevention of local invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer. (C) 2016 AACR.

    Background Radical esophagectomy is the cornerstone of curative treatment for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Patient survival after surgery for ESCC is mainly associated with pathological tumor progression. Recently, the impact of baseline immune-nutritional status of various types of patients with cancer on survival has been highlighted. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between the baseline prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and postoperative short-and long-term results after esophagectomy for patients with ESCC. Methods In total, 202 patients with ESCC who underwent radical esophagectomy at our institution between 2002 and 2010 were enrolled. PNI was calculated as 10x serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 x total lymphocyte counts (per mm3). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated for multiple logistic regression analysis using 5-year overall survival as the endpoint to determine an optimal PNI cutoff value, in which patients were classified into two groups: high PNI and low PNI. We evaluated the significance of PNI on postoperative morbidity and long-term survival using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The mean PNI was 48.9 +/- 4.6 (range 37.2-64.0). The area under the ROC curve in multiple logistic regression analysis was 0.5367. The projected 5-year survival rate was optimal at a PNI of 44.1. Hence, the PNI cutoff point was set at 44, with subjects classified by PNI level into the low (PNI &lt; 44) or high (PNI = 44) PNI groups. Of 202 patients, 173 (85.7 %) and 29 (14.3 %) were classified as having high and low PNI, respectively. No significant differences were noted between the two groups regarding patient background, including age, sex, pT, pN, and pStage, or postoperative complications. However, overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were significantly worse in the low PNI group than in the high PNI group. The 5-year OS and RFS rates in the high PNI vs. low PNI groups were 67.2 vs. 41.2 % (P = 0.007) and 61.5 vs. 38.8 % (P = 0.008), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that PNI was a significant prognostic factor for both OS (hazard ratio, 1.826; 95 % confidence interval, 1.015-3.285; P = 0.044) and RFS (hazard ratio, 1.862; 95 % confidence interval, 1.121-3.095; P = 0.016). Conclusion Preoperative PNI is an independent prognostic marker of both OS and RFS for patients with potentially curative ESCC. A careful follow-up for tumor recurrence after surgery is required for ESCC patients with low PNI.

    Purpose
    It was reported that the chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) from cancer cells stimulated the recruitment of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (BM-MCs) into tumor stroma via chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) signaling. We conducted this retrospective study to determine the clinicopathologic significance of the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis in human gastric cancer.
    Methods
    The correlations between the clinicopathological features of 270 primary gastric carcinomas and CXCL1 in cancer cells and CXCR2 in stromal cells were analyzed in immunohistochemical studies. The effect of gastric cancer cells on the expression of CXCR2 in BM-MCs was examined using diffuse-type gastric cancer cell lines in vitro.
    Results
    The expression of CXCL1 in cancer cells was correlated with T invasion (T2-T4), lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, peritoneal cytology, peritoneal metastasis and CXCR2 expression in stromal cells. The expression of CXCR2 in stromal cells was correlated with macroscopic type-4 cancers, histological type, T invasion (T2-T4), lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, infiltration, peritoneal cytology, peritoneal metastasis and CD271 expression in stromal cells. The overall survival of patients with CXCL1 and CXCR2-positive cancer was poorer than that of the patients with negative cancer. Both CXCL1 expression in cancer cells and CXCR2 expression in stromal cells were independent prognostic factors for gastric cancer patients.
    Conclusion
    The expressions of CXCL1 in cancer cells and CXCR2 in stromal cells are useful prognostic factors for gastric cancer patients.

    Paclitaxel (PTX) which easily elutes into ascites is widely used to treat gastric cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), but clinical outcomes are suboptimal. Increased concentrations of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), an important drug-binding protein, have been reported in the plasma and ascites of cancer patients. This study sought to clarify whether AGP binds to PTX and alters its anticancer effects. AGP concentrations were measured in the serum and ascites of gastric cancer patients with PC and in the serum of healthy volunteers. The in vitro effects of AGP and AGP plus erythromycin (EM) on PTX were evaluated by MTT assays in the gastric cancer cell lines. We also measured AGP concentrations in the ascites of PC model mice and examined the effects of EM plus PTX on PC. The mean AGP concentrations in the serum and ascites of gastric cancer patients with PC were 1524 and 834 mu g/mL, respectively, higher than the mean AGP concentration of 650 mu g/mL observed in the sera of healthy volunteers. AGP &gt; 400 mu g/mL significantly suppressed the cell growth inhibitory effect of PTX in vitro, but the co-administration of EM restored it. Elevated AGP concentrations were observed in the ascites of PC model mice. Administration of PTX alone did not markedly diminish PC, whereas co-administration of PTX and EM significantly reduced PC (p = 0.011). AGP is an important regulatory factor modulating the anticancer activity of intraperitoneal PTX. The co-administration of PTX and EM may be effective in treating gastric cancer patients with PC.

    Tumor stromal cells play a critical role in the progression of diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC). The aim of this study was to clarify where tumor stomal cells originate from and which factor(s) recruits them into the tumor stroma. Immunodeficient mice with bone marrow transplantation from the cytomegalovirus enhancer/chicken beta-actin promoter-enhanced green fluorescent protein mice were used for the in vivo experiments. An in vitro study analyzed the chemotaxis-stimulating factor from DGC cells using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (BM-MCs). The influences of chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2) inhibitor on the migration of BM-MCs were examined both in vitro and in vivo. BM-MCs frequently migrated into stroma of DGC in vivo. The number of migrating BM-MCs was increased by conditioned medium from DGC cells. CXCL1 from DGC cells stimulated the chemoattractant ability of BM-MCs. Both anti-CXCL1 antibody and CXCR2 inhibitor decreased the migration of BM-MCs, stimulated by DGC cells. A CXCR2 inhibitor, SB225002, reduced the recruitment of BM-MCs into the tumor microenvironment in vivo, decreasing tumor size and lymph node metastasis, and prolonging the survival of gastric tumor-bearing mice. These findings suggested that most tumor stromal cells in DGC might originate from BM-MCs. CXCL1 from DGC cells stimulates the recruitment of BM-MCs into tumor stroma via CXCR2 signaling of BM-MCs. Inhibition of BM-MC recruitment via the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis appears a promising therapy for DGC.

    Preoperative nutritional status may predict short- and long-term outcomes of patients with cancer.
    The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of preoperative nutritional status on outcomes of elderly patients who have undergone gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC).
    A review examining 147 patients treated for GC by gastrectomy at our institution between January 2004 and December 2011 was conducted. Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was invoked, using an optimal cutpoint to stratify patients by high (PNI &gt; 43.8; n = 84) or low (PNI aecurrency sign 43.8; n = 63) nutritional status. Clinicopathologic features and short- and long-term outcomes, including the cause of death, were compared.
    In multivariate analysis, low PNI was identified as an independent correlate of poor 5-year overall survival (OS). In subgroup analysis, 5-year OS rates for patients with stage 1 GC were significantly worse in the low PNI (vs. high PNI) patient subset, which also posed a significantly higher risk of death from other disease; however, 5-year cancer-specific survival and PNI were unrelated. Deaths from recurrence in both groups were statistically similar, and morbidity rates did not differ significantly by group.
    PNI is useful in predicting long-term outcomes of elderly patients surgically treated for GC, helping to identify those at high risk of death from other disease. In an effort to improve patient outcomes, nutritional status and oncologic staging merit attention.

    Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score on survival compared with the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) in patients with resectable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
    Methods: One hundred eighty-five consecutive patients who underwent subtotal esophagectomy with curative intent for resectable thoracic ESCC were retrospectively reviewed. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analyses for 3-year overall survival (OS) as the endpoint were performed, and the maximal Youden indices were calculated to assess discrimination ability and to determine the appropriate cut-off values of CONUT, PLR, and NLR. The patients were then classified into high and low groups based on these cut-off values. Correlations between CONUT and other clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Prognostic factors predicting overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models.
    Results: The areas under the curve predicting 3-year OS were 0.603 for CONUT, 0.561 for PLR, 0.564 for NLR, and 0.563 for GPS. The optimal cut-off values were two for the CONUT score, 193 for PLR, and 3.612 for NLR. The high-CONUT group was significantly associated with lower BMI, high-PLR, high-NLR, and GPS1/2 groups. On univariate analysis, high-CONUT, high-PLR, high-NLR, and GPS 1/2 groups were significantly associated with poorer OS and RFS. Of these factors, multivariate analysis revealed that only the CONUT score was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR 2.303, 95 % CI 1.191-4.455; p = 0.013) and RFS (HR 2.163, 95 % CI 1.139-4.109; p = 0.018).
    Conclusions: The CONUT score was an independent predictor of OS and RFS before treatment and was superior to PLR, NLR, and GPS in terms of predictive ability for prognosis in patients with resectable thoracic ESCC.

    Heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) is a molecular chaperone that assists in the folding of nascent polypeptides and in the refolding of denatured proteins. In many cancers, Hsp72 is constitutively expressed at elevated levels, which can result in enhanced stress tolerance. Similarly, following treatment with anticancer drugs, Hsp72 binds to denatured proteins that may be essential for survival. We therefore hypothesized that Hsp72 client proteins may play a crucial role in drug resistance. Here, we aimed to identify proteins that are critical for oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance by analyzing human gastric cancer cell lines, as well as OXA-resistant cells via a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach combined with affinity purification using anti-Hsp72 antibodies. Stromal cell-derived factor 2 (SDF-2) was identified as an Hsp72 client protein unique to OCUM-2M/OXA cells. SDF-2 was overexpressed in OXA-resistant cells and SDF-2 silencing promoted the apoptotic effects of OXA. Furthermore, Hsp72 prevented SDF-2 degradation in a chaperone activity-dependent manner. Together, our data demonstrate that Hsp72 protected SDF-2 to avoid OXA-induced cell death. We propose that inhibition of SDF-2 may comprise a novel therapeutic strategy to counteract OXA-resistant cancers. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Tumor lymphangiogenesis is a major prognostic indicator of gastric cancer. Tumor-induced inflammation has been shown to attract tumor-associated macrophages that affect lymphangiogenesis. However, detailed mechanisms of macrophage-induced lymphangiogenesis have not been elucidated. Here, we evaluated the interaction between tumor-associated macrophages and lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) derived from lymph nodes (LNs) of human gastric cancer. Lymphatic endothelial cells were directly or indirectly cocultured with macrophages from healthy human blood, with or without the supernatant of the gastric cancer cell line, OCUM-12. We analyzed the effect of cancer pretreated macrophages and of macrophages from metastatic LNs of gastric cancer on LECs. We observed morphological changes of LECs in coculture and assessed the gene expression of possible lymphangiogenic molecules of macrophages and LECs after contact coculture, and of cancer pretreated macrophages, by quantitative RT-PCR. Specimens of metastatic LN of gastric cancer were immunofluorescently stained. We found that tubulogenesis of LECs was observed only in the contact coculture model. OCUM-12 cells promoted macrophage-induced tubulogenesis of LECs. Relative gene expression of MMP and adhesion molecules was significantly upregulated in both capillary-forming LECs and cocultured macrophages. Cancer pretreated macrophages upregulated lymphangiogenic factors including inflammatory cytokines, MMPs, adhesion molecules, and vascular endothelial growth factor-C. Blocking of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and macrophage activation suppressed tubulogenesis of LECs. Immunohistochemistry showed macrophages localized around lymphatic vessels. Our results suggested that interaction between LECs and macrophages may be an important initial step of tumor lymphangiogenesis developing LN metastasis. Understanding of its mechanisms could be useful for future therapeutics of gastric cancer.

    Cancer tissues have biological characteristics similar to those observed in embryos during development. Many types of cancer cells acquire pro-invasive ability through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Similar processes (gastrulation and migration of cranial neural crest cells [CNCC]) are observed in the early stages of embryonic development in Xenopus during which cells that originate from epithelial sheets through EMT migrate to their final destinations. The present study examined Xenopus embryonic tissues to identify anti-cancer compounds that prevent cancer invasion. From the initial test of known anti-cancer drugs, AMD3100 (an inhibitor of CXCR4) and paclitaxel (a cytoskeletal drug targeting microtubules) effectively prevented migration during gastrulation or CNCC development. Blind-screening of 100 synthesized chemical compounds was performed, and nine candidates that inhibited migration of these embryonic tissues without embryonic lethality were selected. Of these, C-157 (an analog of podophyllotoxin) and D-572 (which is an indole alkaroid) prevented cancer cell invasion through disruption of interphase microtubules. In addition, these compounds affected progression of mitotic phase and induced apoptosis of SAS oral cancer cells. SAS tumors were reduced in size after intratumoral injection of C-157, and peritoneal dissemination of melanoma cells and intracranial invasion of glioma cells were inhibited by C-157 and D-572. When the other analogues of these chemicals were compared, those with subtle effect on embryos were not tumor suppressive. These results suggest that a novel chemical-screening approach based on Xenopus embryos is an effective method for isolating anti-cancer drugs and, in particular, targeting cancer cell invasion and proliferation.

    Xenopus胚の原腸形成または頭部神経冠細胞(CNCC)移動の阻害を指標として、癌浸潤を抑制する抗癌化合物をスクリーニングする手法について検討した。原腸形成に及ぼす効果は、ステージ10(原腸形成開始時)に達した胚を化合物で処理し、対照胚のステージ12 1/2およびステージ14到達時に原口閉鎖の状態を評価した。また、CNCCに及ぼす効果は、原腸形成後の胚を化合物で処理し、ホールマウントin situハイブリダイゼーションによりCNCCの移動の評価を行った。その結果、AMD3100およびパクリタキセルは、原口閉鎖を阻害し、CNCC移動に影響を及ぼした。さらに、100の合成化合物を盲検的にスクリーニングし、胚致死性を示さず、原腸形成または神経冠発生に重篤な欠損を認めた9つの化合物を候補化合物としたところ、候補化合物中、ポドフィロトキシンアナログであるC-157およびインドールアルカロイドであるD-572は、間期微小管の破壊を通して癌細胞浸潤を阻害し、SAS細胞のアポトーシスを誘導し、マウスに異種移植された腫瘍増殖および浸潤を抑制した。以上の所見から、Xenopus胚は、腫瘍増殖および浸潤に影響を及ぼす化合物のスクリーニングに有用と考えられた。

    Background/Aim: Orthotopic (literally "correct place") implantation of cancer in nude mice has long been known to be superior to subcutaneous transplantation because the orthotopic tumor can metastasize. We reported previously on surgical orthotopic implantation (SOI) of gastric cancer tissue in nude mice resulting in the formation of metastases in 100% of the mice with extensive primary growth to the regional lymph nodes, liver, and lung. In contrast, when cell suspensions were used to inject gastric cancer cells orthotopically, metastases occurred in only 6.7% of the mice with local tumor formation, emphasizing the importance of orthotopically implanting intact tissue to allow full expression of metastatic potential. However, the different behavior of tumors implanted orthotopically by the two methods has not been visualized in real time. Materials and Methods: OCUM-2MD3 human gastric cancer cells labeled with the fluorescent protein Azami-Green were implanted orthotopically as cells or tissue in nude mice. Results: Orthotopic implantation of cells resulted in local spread on the stomach. In contrast, SOI of tumor tissue of OCUM-2MD3 resulted in vessel spread of the Azami-Green-expressing cancer cells. Metastasis was also observed in the left lobe of the liver after SOI. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the physiological importance of intact cancer tissue for orthotopic implantation in order for tumors to properly grow and express their metastatic potential.

    Background: Anaplastic pancreatic cancer (APC) cell lines have been scarcely established.
    Methods: The morphology, gene expressions, karyotyping and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers of newly established APC cell lines OCUP-A1 and OCUP-A2 were analyzed. Their abilities of proliferation under normoxia and hypoxia, migration and invasion were compared to 4 commercially available pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cell lines. Their induction of angiogenesis, stem-like cell population and subcutaneous tumor growth in nude mice were estimated, comparing 2 PDA cell lines examined here.
    Results: OCUP-A1 and OCUP-A2 cells continuously grew with spindle and polygonal shapes, respectively. Gene analysis revealed 9 gene mutations including KRAS and TP53. Karyotyping clarified numerical structural abnormalities in both cells. Loss of E-cadherin and expression of vimentin in both cell lines were observed. The doubling time of both cell lines was approximately 20 h. Proliferation, migration and invasion abilities were not notable compared to other PDA cell lines. However stem-like cell population of both cell lines was superior to a part of PDA cell lines. Moreover OCUP-A1 showed stronger hypoxia tolerance and induction of angiogenesis than other PDA cell lines. The tumorigenicity in vivo of OCUP-A2 was stronger than conventional PDA cell lines.
    Conclusions: The OCUP-A1 and OCUP-A2 cell lines of rare malignancies might be useful for investigating the biology of pancreatic cancer.

    It has been reported that lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a hypoxia-responsive factor and is associated with the malignant progression of carcinoma. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and LOX in gastric cancer cells under hypoxia.
    Two gastric cancer cell lines, OCUM-2MD3 and OCUM-12, were used in an in vitro study. The effect of LOX small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the EMT and motility of gastric cancer cells under hypoxic condition was analyzed by reverse transcription PCR, Western blot, a wound-healing assay, and an invasion assay. Correlations between LOX expression and the clinicopathological features of 544 patients with gastric carcinoma were examined immunohistochemically.
    Hypoxic conditions increased the number of polygonal or spindle-shaped cells resulting from EMT in gastric cancer cells. The EMT of cancer cells induced by hypoxia was inhibited by treatment with LOX siRNA. The number of migrating and invading gastric cancer cells in hypoxia was significantly decreased by LOX knockdown. LOX siRNA significantly increased the E-cadherin level and decreased the vimentin level of gastric cancer cells. LOX expression was significantly associated with invasion depth, tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, and peritoneal metastasis. Multivariable analysis revealed that LOX was an independent parameter for overall survival.
    LOX affects the EMT of gastric cancer cells in hypoxic conditions. LOX expression is a useful prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer.

    Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) regulate a variety of cellular functions, from embryogenesis to adult tissue homeostasis. FGFR signaling also plays significant roles in the proliferation, invasion, and survival of several types of tumor cells. FGFR-induced alterations, including gene amplification, chromosomal translocation, and mutations, have been shown to be associated with the tumor initiation and progression of gastric cancer, especially in diffuse-type cancers. Therefore, the FGFR signaling pathway might be one of the therapeutic targets in gastric cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of the role of FGFR signaling in tumorigenesis, tumor progression, proliferation, and chemoresistance. We also discuss the accumulating evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of using clinical therapeutic agents to inhibit FGFR signaling for the treatment of gastric cancer.

    Remnant gastric cancer (RGC) and gastric stump cancer after distal gastrectomy (DG) are recognized as the same clinical entity. In this review, the current knowledges as well as the non-settled issues of RGC are presented. Duodenogastric reflux and denervation of the gastric mucosa are considered as the two main factors responsible for the development of RGC after benign disease. On the other hand, some precancerous circumstances which already have existed at the time of initial surgery, such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, are the main factors associated with RGC after gastric cancer. Although eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in remnant stomach is promising, it is still uncertain whether it can reduce the risk of carcinogenesis. Periodic endoscopic surveillance after DG was reported useful in detecting RGC at an early stage, which offers a chance to undergo minimally invasive endoscopic treatment or laparoscopic surgery and leads to an improved prognosis in RGC patients. Future challenges may be expected to elucidate the benefit of eradication of H. pylori in the remnant stomach if it could reduce the risk for RGC, to build an optimal endoscopic surveillance strategy after DG by stratifying the risk for development of RGC, and to develop a specific staging system for RGC for the standardization of the treatment by prospecting the prognosis.

    Preoperative nutritional status not only correlates with the incidence of postoperative complications but also may be indicative of long-term outcomes for patients with cancer. The impact of preoperative nutritional status on outcomes for patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) was investigated.
    The study reviewed 594 patients treated for GC by gastrectomy at the authors' hospital between January, 2004 and December, 2010. Onodera's prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was invoked, using an optimal cut point to group patients as having high (PNI &gt; 45; n = 449) or low (PNI a parts per thousand currency sign 45; n = 145) nutritional status. Clinicopathologic features, perioperative results, and long-term outcomes, including cause of death, were compared.
    Multivariate analysis of 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) indicated that low PNI was independently associated with unfavorable outcomes for patients with GC. In subgroup analysis, the 5-year OS and DSS rates for patients with GC at stages 1 and 2 were significantly worse in the low PNI group than in the high PNI group. Although wound and extrasurgical field infections also tended to be more frequent in the low PNI group, postoperative intraabdominal infections did not differ significantly by group.
    Preoperative PNI may have merit as a gauge of prognosis for patients with GC at stages 1 and 2, but PNI and postoperative morbidity showed no correlation in this setting.

    Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Although recent therapeutic developments for patients with pancreatic cancer have provided survival benefits, the outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer remain unsatisfactory. Molecularly targeted cancer therapy has advanced in the past decade with the use of a number of pathways as candidates of therapeutic targets. This review summarizes the molecular features of this refractory disease while focusing on the recent clinical and experimental findings on pancreatic cancer. It also discusses the data supporting current standard clinical outcomes, and offers conclusions that may improve the management of pancreatic cancer in the future.

    Aim: This study evaluated the clinicopathological significance of autophagy, an intracellular degradation system, in gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: The expression levels of three autophagy-related proteins, namely light chain 3 (LC3), Beclin 1 and p62, were analyzed by immunohistochemistry using samples from 510 patients with primary gastric cancer. Results: LC3, Beclin 1, and p62 expression was positive in 79 (15.5%), 126 (24.7%) and 251 (49.2%) out of 510 carcinomas, respectively. Autophagy was defined when samples were positive for at least two out of the three proteins. Autophagy-positive cases were 113 (22.1%) out of the 510. Autophagy determined by LC3, Beclin 1, and p62 significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, vessel invasion, and hepatic metastasis. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that autophagy was significantly associated with poor survival of patients with gastric cancer, especially for those with disease at stage I. Multivariate analysis indicated that autophagy was an independent prognostic factor. Conclusion: Autophagy promotes the progression of gastric cancer at an early clinical stage.

    Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by its hypovascularity, with an extremely poor prognosis because of its highly invasive nature. PDAC proliferates with abundant stromal cells, suggesting that its invasive activity might be controlled by intercellular interactions between cancer cells and fibroblasts. Using four PDAC cell lines and two pancreas cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) and IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) was evaluated by RT-PCR, FACScan, western blot, or ELISA. Correlation between IGF1R and the hypoxia marker carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9) was examined by immunohistochemical staining of 120 pancreatic specimens. The effects of CAFs, IGF1, and IGF1R inhibitors on the motility of cancer cells were examined by wound-healing assay or invasion assay under normoxia (20% O-2) and hypoxia (1% O-2). IGF1R expression was significantly higher in RWP-1, MiaPaCa-2, and OCUP-AT cells than in Panc-1 cells. Hypoxia increased the expression level of IGF1R in RWP-1, MiaPaCa-2, and OCUP-AT cells. CA9 expression was correlated with IGF1R expression in pancreatic specimens. CAFs produced IGF1 under hypoxia, but PDAC cells did not. A conditioned medium from CAFs, which expressed alpha SMA, stimulated the migration and invasion ability of MiaPaCa-2, RWP-1, and OCUP-AT cells. The motility of all PDAC cells was greater under hypoxia than under normoxia. The motility-stimulating ability of CAFs was decreased by IGF1R inhibitors. These findings might suggest that pancreas CAFs stimulate the invasion activity of PDAC cells through paracrine IGF1/IGF1R signaling, especially under hypoxia. Therefore the targeting of IGF1R signaling might represent a promising therapeutic approach in IGF1R-dependent PDAC.

    Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been considered to play an important role for tumor progression of cancer. Solid tumors contain heterogeneous distribution of oxygen in their microenvironments. This study investigated the growth signaling of gastric cancer (GC) cells in focus on the interaction with CAFs and GC cells under normoxia and hypoxia. Four diffuse-type GC cell lines, two intestinal-type GC cell lines and three CAF cell lines were used. Cells were examined for expression of C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) and stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF1) by RT-PCR, western blot, ELISA and immunohistochemical staining of xenografted tumors. GC cell proliferation was examined under hypoxia in the presence or absence of CAFs, a FGFR2 inhibitor, a CXCR4 inhibitor and HIF1a siRNA. Proliferation of diffuse-type GC cells, but not intestinal-type GC cells, was significantly increased by CAFs. CXCR4 expression by diffuse-type GC cells was significantly increased in hypoxia, while FGFR2 expression was decreased. CXCR4 expression was correlated with hypoxic microenvironment of xenografted tumor, but FGFR2 expression was not. FGFR2 inhibition significantly decreased the growth-stimulating activity of CAFs for diffuse-type GC cells in normoxia. In contrast, CXCR4 inhibition significantly decreased the growth-stimulating activity of CAFs in hypoxia. SDF1 production by CAFs was increased in hypoxia, while cancer cells did not produce SDF1. HIF1 siRNA significantly decreased both CXCR4 expression by diffuse-type GC cells and SDF1 production by CAFs. These findings suggest that diffuse-type GC cells might switch their driver pathways from FGFR2 signaling to SDF1/CXCR4 axis through HIF1 in hypoxic tumor microenvironments.

    Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine-threonine kinase that acts downstream of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway and regulates a wide range of cellular functions including transcription, translation, proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Whereas genetic alterations that result in mTOR activation are frequently present in human cancers, whether the mTOR gene itself becomes an oncogene through somatic mutation has remained unclear. We have now identified a somatic non-synonymous mutation of mTOR that results in a leucine-to-valine substitution at amino acid position 2209 in a specimen of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. The mTOR(L2209V) mutant manifested marked transforming potential in a focus formation assay with mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, and it induced the phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase, S6 ribosomal protein, and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 in these cells. Examination of additional tumor specimens as well as public and in-house databases of cancer genome mutations identified another 28 independent non-synonymous mutations of mTOR in various cancer types, with 12 of these mutations also showing transforming ability. Most of these oncogenic mutations cluster at the interface between the kinase domain and the FAT (FRAP, ATM, TRRAP) domain in the 3-D structure of mTOR. Transforming mTOR mutants were also found to promote 3T3 cell survival, and their oncogenic activity was sensitive to rapamycin. Our data thus show that mTOR acquires transforming activity through genetic changes in cancer, and they suggest that such tumors may be candidates for molecularly targeted therapy with mTOR inhibitors.

    Both mucin 1 (MUC1) and galectin-3 are known to be over-expressed in various malignant tumors and associated with a poor prognosis. It has been extensively reported that MUC1 is involved in potentiation of growth factor-dependent signal transduction. Because some carbohydrate moieties carried on MUC1 change to preferable ones for binding of galectin-3 in cancer cells, we speculated that MUC1-mediated signaling may occur through direct binding of galectin-3. Immunochemical studies showed that the distribution of galectin-3 coincided with that of MUC1 in various human tumor tissues but not in human nonmalignant tissues, and the level of galectin-3 retained on the surface of various cancer cells paralleled that of MUC1. Treatment of MUC1-expressing cells with galectin-3 induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt following enhanced phosphorylation of MUC1 C-terminal domain, consistently promoting tumor cell malignancy. It is also noted that this enhanced phosphorylation occurred independently of EGF receptor-mediated signaling in both EGF receptor-and MUC1-expressing cells, and multivalency of galectin-3 was important for initiation of MUC1-mediated signaling. Expectedly, both silencing of endogenous galectin-3 and treatment with galectin-3 antagonists down-regulated cell proliferation of MUC1-expressing cells. These results suggest that the binding of galectin-3 to MUC1 plays a key role in MUC1-mediated signaling. Thus, constitutive activation of MUC1-mediated signaling in an autocrine/paracrine manner caused by ligation of galectin-3 promotes uncontrolled tumor cell malignancy. This signaling may be another MUC1-mediated pathway and function in parallel with a growth factor-dependent MUC1-mediated signaling pathway.

    Background: Tumour cells and stromal cells interact in the tumour microenvironment; moreover, stromal cells can acquire abnormalities that contribute to tumour progression. However, interactions between lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and tumour cells are largely unexamined. In this study, we aimed to determine whether tumour-specific LECs inhabit the tumour microenvironment and examine their influence on this microenvironment.
    Methods: We isolated normal LECs (NLECs) from a non-metastatic lymph node and tumour-associated LECs (TLECs) from cancerous lymph nodes. We examined proliferative and migratory potency, growth factor production, and gene expression of each type of LEC. Moreover, we developed a co-culture system to investigate the interactions between gastric cancer cells and LECs.
    Results: When compared with NLEC, TLECs had an abnormal shape, high proliferative and migratory abilities, and elevated expression of genes associated with inflammation, cell growth, and cell migration. NLECs co-cultured with gastric cancer cells from the OCUM12 cell line acquired TLEC-like phenotypes. Also, OCUM12 cells co-cultured with TLECs expressed high levels of genes responsible for metastasis.
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that LECs interacted with tumour cells and obtained abnormal phenotypes that could have important roles in tumour progression.

    The antitumor activity of prostaglandin (PG) D-2 has been demonstrated against some types of cancer, including gastric cancer. However, exogenous PGD(2) is not useful from a clinical point of view because it is rapidly metabolized in vivo. The aim of this study was to clarify the antitumor efficacy of an alternative, PGD synthase (PGDS), on gastric cancer cells. The effects of PGD(2) and PGDS on the proliferation of gastric cancer cells were examined in vivo and in vitro. The expression levels of PGD(2) receptors and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) were evaluated by RT-PCR. The effects of a PPAR antagonist or siPPAR on the proliferation of cancer cells and the c-myc and cyclin D1 expression were examined in the presence or absence of PGD(2) or PGDS. PPAR was expressed in gastric cancer cell lines, but PGD(2) receptors were not. PGD(2) and PGDS significantly decreased the proliferation of gastric cancer cells that highly expressed PPAR. PGDS increased the PGD(2) production of gastric cancer cells. A PPAR antagonist and siPPAR transfection significantly suppressed the growth-inhibitory effects of PGD(2) and PGDS. Expression of c-myc and cyclin D1 was significantly decreased by PGD(2); this inhibitory effect was suppressed by PPAR antagonist. Both PGD(2) and PGDS significantly decreased subcutaneous tumor growth in vivo. Tumor volume after PGDS treatment was significantly less than PGD(2) treatment. These findings suggest that PGDS and PGD(2) decrease the proliferation of gastric cancer cells through PPAR signaling. PGDS is a potentially promising therapeutic agent for gastric cancers that express PPAR.
    What's new? Previous work suggests that prostaglandin D-2 (PGD(2)) exerts antiproliferative effects in certain types of cancer cells. But because PGD(2) is rapidly catalyzed to its inactive form, its clinical utility is limited. A possible alternative to PGD(2) is PGD synthase (PGDS), which synthesizes PGD2, but whether it also possesses antitumor activity is unknown. In this study, in PPAR-expressing gastric cancer cells, both PGD(2) and PGDS were found to significantly suppress cell proliferation. In vivo, they inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors. Tumor volume was markedly decreased with PGDS treatment, compared with PGD(2).

    Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an important etiologic factor in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The risk of CRC begins to increase 8 or 10 years after the diagnosis of IBD. This type of cancer is called colitis-associated CRC (CA-CRC). The molecular pathogenesis of inflammatory epithelium might play a critical role in the development of CA-CRC. Genetic alterations detected in CA-CRC such as genetic mutations, microsatellite instability, and DNA hypermethylation are also recognized in sporadic CRC; however, there are differences in the timing and frequency of molecular events between CA-CRC and sporadic CRC. Interaction between gene-environmental factors, including inflammation, lifestyle, psychological stress, and prior appendectomy, might be associated with the etiopathology of IBD. The mucosal inflammatory mediators, such as oxidant stress, free radicals, and chemokines, may cause the genetic alterations. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of CA-CRC might be important to develop clinical efficacies for patients with IBD. This review discusses the molecular characteristics of CA-CRC, especially ulcerative colitis-associated CRC, including clinical features, signaling pathways, and interactions between genetic alterations and environment involved in inflammatory carcinogenesis.

    BackgroundThe aim of this study was to clarify the operative mortality and long-term survival of gastrectomy for elderly patients with gastric cancer.
    MethodsA total of 461 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer in our hospital were classified as elderly group (80 years-old, 95 patients) and control group (60-69 years-old, 366 patients).
    ResultsThe frequency of comorbidities was significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher in elderly group (74.7%) than that in the control group (49.5%). No significant difference of the postoperative complication rate was found between the elderly group (23.2%) and the control group (23.2%). Adjuvant chemotherapy was 9.5% in the elderly group, which was significantly less than 29.0% of the control group (P&lt;0.05). Stage II and III elderly patients had worse disease specific survival (DSS) than controls did. In the elderly, overall survival (OS) was significantly worse than DSS in stage I patients (P&lt;0.05).
    ConclusionsThe operative complication rate of elderly patients was comparable to the control group. Comorbidity and occurrence of secondary malignant disease should be followed for elderly patients at stage I. For stage II and III disease patients, a novel drug which is acceptable for the elderly is needed as a postoperative therapy. J. Surg. Oncol. 2015 111:848-854. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Patients with overweight reportedly have more comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, and longer operating times as well as more blood loss during surgery compared with those with normal weight. However, the impact of overweight on the short-term outcome after transthoracic esophagectomy for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. We hypothesized that overweight has a negative impact on short-term surgical outcomes after esophagectomy for patients with ESCC.
    A total of 304 patients who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy for ESCC were included in this study. Body mass index (BMI) was classified into three categories, &lt; 18.49, 18.50-24.99, and &gt; 25.00 (kg/m(2)), defined as low, normal, and high BMI, respectively, according to the World Health Organization criteria. We investigated the association of BMI status with patient demographics and surgical outcomes after esophagectomy for patients with ESCC. In addition, overall survival and relapse-free survival stratified by BMI were compared.
    Fifty-nine (19.4 %) and 41 (13.4 %) patients were classified to low BMI and high BMI, respectively. The high-BMI group had significantly higher comorbidity rates of diabetes mellitus (p &lt; 0.01) and anastomotic leakage (p = 0.011) than the normal-BMI group. There were no significant association between high BMI and another various complications except for an anastomotic leakage, severe complications defined by Clavien-Dindo classification and in-hospital mortality. In multivariate analysis, high BMI was a significant risk factor for anastomotic leakage (p = 0.030, hazard ratio; 3.423, 95%CI; 1.128-10.38). On the other hand, no significant association was observed between low BMI and short surgical outcomes. There were no significant differences in overall and relapse-free survival among the three BMI groups in univariate and multivariate analysis (p = 0.128 and p = 0.584, respectively).
    The surgical treatment should not be denied for patients with ESCC due to overweight and underweight. However, intraoperative prevention and postoperative careful monitoring for anastomotic leakage might be required after esophagectomy for overweight patients with ESCC.

    Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is the most frequent metastatic pattern of gastric cancer and its prognosis is extremely poor. PC is characterized by rich fibrosis and the development of obstructive disorders such as ileus, jaundice and hydronephrosis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the major causes of tissue fibrosis and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) has a pivotal function in the progression of EMT. Protein-bound polysaccharide K (PSK) is a biological response modifier that can modulate the TGF-beta/Smad signaling pathway in vitro. In the present study, we established a fibrotic tumor model using human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) and a human gastric cancer cell line to evaluate whether PSK attenuates tumor fibrosis. HPMCs exposed to PSK did not undergo the morphological change from a cobblestone-like pattern to a spindle-shape pattern normally induced by treatment with TGF-beta. Immunofluorescence further demonstrated that PSK suppressed TGF-beta-induced overexpression of alpha-SMA in the HPMCs. We further showed that HPMCs contributed to the proliferation of tumor fibrosis by using a mouse xenograft model. Additionally, PSK treatment of these mice significantly reduced the area of observable tumor fibrosis. These results suggest that seeded cancer cells transformed HPMCs into myofibroblast-like cells through their release of TGF-beta in the microenvironment, facilitating the development of fibrous tumors in organs covered with HPMCs. Therefore, our study indicates that PSK has potential utility as an anti-fibrotic agent in the treatment of gastric cancer patients with PC.

    Recent advances in molecular targeted therapies, including targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), had a major forward step in the therapy for gastric cancer patients. Application of HER2-targeted therapies, in particular trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in metastatic HER2-positive gastric cancers, resulted in improvements in response rates, time to progression and overall survival. Nevertheless, as with breast cancer, many patients with gastric cancer develop resistance to trastuzumab. Several promising therapies are currently being developed in combination with chemotherapy to increase the efficacy and overcome the cancer-resistance. Here we review the current overview of clinical application of agents targeting HER2 in gastric cancer. We also discuss the ongoing trials supporting the use of HER2-targeted agents combined with cytotoxic agents or other monoclonal antibodies.

    Agr2 is a disulfide isomerase residing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which physiologically regulates protein folding and mediates resistance to ER stress. Agr2 is overexpressed in adenocarcinomas of various organs, where it participates in neoplastic transformation and metastasis, therefore acts as a pro-oncogenic protein. Besides its normal localization in the ER, Agr2 is also found in the serum and urine of cancer patients, although the physiological significance of extracellular Agr2 is poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that extracellular Agr2 can activate stromal fibroblasts and promote fibroblast-associated cancer invasion in gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC), where Agr2 is highly expressed. Agr2 secreted from SRCC cells was incorporated by the surrounding gastric fibroblasts and promoted invasion by these cells. In turn, activated fibroblasts coordinated the invasive behavior of fibroblasts and cancer cells. Our findings suggested that Agr2 drives progression of gastric SRCC by exerting paracrine effects on fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment, acting also to increase the growth and resistance of SRCC cells to oxidative and hypoxic stress as cell autonomous effects.

    Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases worldwide. Prognosis of breast cancer is still poor despite the diagnostic and therapeutic progress in recent years. In order to decrease breast cancer-related deaths, many studies are aimed at identifying novel screening- and prognosis-related biomarkers. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are characterized by the capacity for self-renewal, tumorigenesis, and differentiation. Due to the role of cancer stem cells in tumor initiation and treatment failure, studies of CSC markers have been of great interest. CD133, five transmembrane single-chain glycoproteins, has been successfully used as a stem cell marker to identify and isolate CSCs in malignant tumors. CD133 can also be used to predict tumor metastasis, patient survival and resistance to therapy. This chapter provides an overview of the evidence regarding the existence and function of CD133 in breast cancers in the context of the experimental and clinical data. It also discusses CD133 as a possible target for breast cancer therapy.

    Gプロジェクト委員会では、従来のTNM分類に分子生物学的特性に基づくG-factorを加えた新たな分類スキームを考案している。今回、胃癌に関する論文を検索し、G-factorの候補として8分子を選定した。根治的R0切除術を受けた胃癌患者210例から得られた切除標本を用いて、8分子に対する免疫染色を行い、臨床病理学的因子と各分子の発現との関連について検討した。8分子の免疫染色発現と術後再発の間に有意な相関は観察されなかった。しかし、p53およびマトリックスメタロプロテイナーゼ-7(MMP-7)の発現は全生存(OS)と有意に相関した。p53およびMMP-7の発現に基づいて210例を3群に分けた場合(G0群:両分子ともに陰性、G1群:どちらかが陽性、G2群:両分子ともに陽性)、G2群はG0群に比して有意に高い再発率を示した。多変量解析では、G2群が短い無病生存(DFS)と独立して関連することが示された。G2群のステージII患者はG0/G1群のステージII患者に比してOSとDFSに関して有意に予後が不良であり、生存曲線はステージIII患者と同様であった。p53およびMMP-7の発現に基づくG-factorは、ステージII/III胃癌の転帰を予測し、ステージII癌に対する治療選択において有用であると考えられた。

    CAFs induced the hypermethylation of the miR-200b promoter regions and reduced miR-200b expression and there was a negative correlation between miR-200b expression in gastric cancer specimens and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression in the stroma of gastric cancer.Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have recently been linked to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer. In addition, the microRNA (miR)-200 family plays a central role in the regulation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process during cancer metastasis, and aberrant DNA methylation is one of the key mechanisms underlying regulation of the miR-200 family. In this study, we clarified whether epigenetic changes of miR-200b by CAFs stimulate cancer invasion and peritoneal dissemination in gastric cancer. We evaluated the relationship between miR-200b and CAFs using a coculture model. In addition, we established a peritoneal metastasis mouse model and investigated the expression and methylation status of miR-200b. We also investigated the expression and methylation status of miR-200b and CAFs expression in primary gastric cancer samples. CAFs (CAF-37 and CAF-50) contributed to epigenetic changes of miR-200b, reduced miR-200b expression and promoted tumor invasion and migration in NUGC3 and OCUM-2M cells in coculture. In the model mice, epigenetic changes of miR-200b were observed in the inoculated high-frequency peritoneal dissemination cells. In the 173 gastric cancer samples, the low miR-200b expression group demonstrated a significantly poorer prognosis compared with the high miR-200b expression group and was associated with peritoneal metastasis. In addition, downregulation of miR-200b in cancer cells was significantly correlated with alpha-smooth muscle actin expression. Our data provide evidence that CAFs reduce miR-200b expression and promote tumor invasion through epigenetic changes of miR-200b in gastric cancer. Thus, CAFs might be a therapeutic target for inhibition of gastric cancer.

    The G-Project committee was erected by the Japan Society for Gastroenterological Carcinogenesis with an aim of establishing a new classification scheme based on molecular biological characteristics that would supplement the conventional TNM classification to better predict outcome.
    In a literature search involving 822 articles on gastric cancer, eight molecules including p53, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, VEGF-C, matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, Regenerating islet-derived family, member 4, olfactomedin-4 and Claudin-18 were selected as candidates to be included in the new molecular classification scheme named G-factor. A total of 210 cases of gastric cancer who underwent curative R0 resection were registered from four independent facilities. Immunohistochemical staining for the aforementioned molecules was performed for the surgically resected specimens of the 210 cases to investigate the correlation between clinicopathological factors and expression of each molecule.
    No significant correlation was observed between the immunostaining expression of any of the eight factors and postoperative recurrence. However, the expressions of p53 and MMP-7 were significantly correlated with overall survival (OS). When 210 gastric cancer patients were divided into three groups based on the expression of p53 and MMP-7 (G0 group: negative for both p53 and MMP-7, n = 69, G1 group: positive for either p53 or MMP-7, n = 97, G2 group: positive for both of the molecules, n = 44), G2 group demonstrated significantly higher recurrence rate (59 %) compared to 38 % in G0 (p = 0.047). The multivariate regression analysis revealed that G2 group was independently associated with a shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (hazard ratio 1.904, 95 % CI 1.098-3.303; p = 0.022), although the association with OS was not significant. Stage II patients among the G2 group had significantly inferior prognosis both in terms of OS and DFS when compared with those among the G0/G1 group, with survival curves similar to those of Stage III cases.
    G-factor based on the expression of p53 and MMP-7 was found to be a promising factor to predict outcome of Stage II/III gastric cancer, and possibly to help select the treatment for Stage II cancer, thus supplementing the conventional TNM system.

    Gプロジェクト委員会では、従来のTNM分類に分子生物学的特性に基づくG-factorを加えた新たな分類スキームを考案している。今回、胃癌に関する論文を検索し、G-factorの候補として8分子を選定した。根治的R0切除術を受けた胃癌患者210例から得られた切除標本を用いて、8分子に対する免疫染色を行い、臨床病理学的因子と各分子の発現との関連について検討した。8分子の免疫染色発現と術後再発の間に有意な相関は観察されなかった。しかし、p53およびマトリックスメタロプロテイナーゼ-7(MMP-7)の発現は全生存(OS)と有意に相関した。p53およびMMP-7の発現に基づいて210例を3群に分けた場合(G0群:両分子ともに陰性、G1群:どちらかが陽性、G2群:両分子ともに陽性)、G2群はG0群に比して有意に高い再発率を示した。多変量解析では、G2群が短い無病生存(DFS)と独立して関連することが示された。G2群のステージII患者はG0/G1群のステージII患者に比してOSとDFSに関して有意に予後が不良であり、生存曲線はステージIII患者と同様であった。p53およびMMP-7の発現に基づくG-factorは、ステージII/III胃癌の転帰を予測し、ステージII癌に対する治療選択において有用であると考えられた。

    The etiology of and optimal treatments for Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) are still undetermined. Fewer than 5% of CCS patients experience complete remission and 15% of CCS patients develop malignancies. Here, we present a case of CCS involving autoimmune disorders, in which rapid diagnosis, rapid commencement of therapy, and complete remission were achieved after 4 months of prednisolone therapy and polypectomy, although biopsy specimens from all residual colonic polyps revealed adenocarcinoma in one polyp 4 months after prednisolone therapy. It is important to identify gastrointestinal or colonic polyps harboring malignant changes and to examine the involvement of autoimmune mechanisms for better outcomes in CCS patients.

    Peritoneal metastasis is the most frequent type of recurrence in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and is associated with poor prognosis. Peritoneal lavage cytology, used to evaluate the risk of peritoneal metastasis, has low sensitivity. Here, we assessed the diagnostic potential of exosomal miRNA profiles in peritoneal fluid for the prediction of peritoneal dissemination in GC. Total RNA was extracted from exosomes isolated from six gastric malignant ascites (MA) samples, 24 peritoneal lavage fluid (PLF) samples, and culture supernatants (CM) of two human gastric carcinoma cell lines that differ in their potential for peritoneal metastasis. Expression of exosomal miRNAs was evaluated with Agilent Human miRNA microarrays and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The microarray analysis indicated a low variability in the number and signal intensity of miRNAs detected among the samples. In the six MA fluids, miR-21 showed the highest signal intensity. We identified five miRNAs (miR-1225-5p, miR-320c, miR-1202, miR-1207-5p, and miR-4270) with high expression in MA samples, the PLF of serosa-invasive GC, and the CM of a highly metastatic GC cell line; these candidate miRNA species appear to be related to peritoneal dissemination. Differential expression of miR-21, miR-320c, and miR-1225-5p was validated in the PLF of serosa-invasive and non-invasive GC by qRT-PCR and miR-21 and miR-1225-5p were confirmed to be associated with serosal invasion in GC. PLF can be used to profile the expression of exosomal miRNAs. Our findings suggest that miR-21 and miR-1225-5p may serve as biomarkers of peritoneal recurrence after curative GC resection, thus providing a novel approach to early diagnosis of peritoneal dissemination of GC.

    Mucin 1 (MUC1) is overexpressed in various human malignant tumors and its expression is correlated with a poor prognosis. MUC1 engages in signal transduction by interacting with receptors for growth and differentiation factors, which contributes to the growth and survival of cancer cells. However, the mechanism by which MUC1 promotes cancer cell invasion remains unclear. Microarray analysis revealed that expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) was elevated in MUC1-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, up- and down-modulation of MUC1 expression was clearly correlated with the change of uPA expression. An immunochemical study showed that the distribution of uPA coincided with that of MUC1 in various human cancer tissues. The MUC1 C-terminal domain (MUC1-CD) was associated with nuclear factor-B (NF-B) p65 in MUC1-expressing cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrated that MUC1-CD existed with NF-B p65 on the uPA promoter. Luciferase assays indicated that the uPA transcriptional activity was correlated with the level of MUC1 expression and that this MUC1-enhancing effect on the uPA transcription was abolished by introduction of mutations into the NF-B binding sites on the uPA promoter. These results indicate that formation of the MUC1-CD and NF-B p65 complex enhanced nuclear translocation of NF-B p65 and subsequent occupancy of NF-B binding region on the uPA promoter, leading to elevated transcription of uPA. We also demonstrated that uPA induced by MUC1 enhanced the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 activities, and consequently promoted cancer cell invasion. Thus, a MUC1 co-operating NF-B signaling pathway plays a critical role in cancer cell invasion in MUC1-expressing cells.

    The aim of this study was to clarify the role of fibroblast-derived Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) in the development of gastric cancer. The correlation between the clinicopathological features of 548 primary gastric carcinomas and LOXL2 expression in stromal cells was examined by immunohistochemistry. Two gastric cancer cell lines, OCUM-12 and NUGC-3, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) were used in this in vitro study. The effect of fibroblast-derived LOXL2 on the motility of gastric cancer cells was analyzed by using a wound-healing assay, a double-chamber invasion assay, and western blot. LOXL2 expression in stromal cells was significantly associated with tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, and peritoneal dissemination. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that LOXL2 expression in stromal cells could be an independent predictive parameter for the overall survival of patients. CAFs significantly stimulated the migration and invasion of OCUM-12 and NUGC-3 cells. This motility-stimulating ability of CAFs was inhibited by LOXL2 siRNA. Western blot analysis indicated that phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in cancer cells was increased by the conditioned medium from CAFs, and was decreased by the conditioned medium from LOXL2 siRNA-treated CAFs. LOXL2 expression in stromal cells may be a useful prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer. Fibroblast-derived LOXL2 may stimulate the motility of gastric cancer cells.

    The association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been acknowledged. One of the most serious and life threatening consequences of UC is the development of CRC (UC-CRC). UC-CRC patients are younger, more frequently have multiple cancerous lesions, and histologically show mucinous or signet ring cell carcinomas. The risk of CRC begins to increase 8 or 10 years after the diagnosis of UC. Risk factors for CRC with UC patients include young age at diagnosis, longer duration, greater anatomical extent of colonic involvement, the degree of inflammation, family history of CRC, and presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis. CRC on the ground of UC develop from non-dysplastic mucosa to indefinite dysplasia, low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia and finally to invasive adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy surveillance programs are recommended to reduce the risk of CRC and mortality in UC. Genetic alterations might play a role in the development of UC-CRC. 5-aminosalicylates might represent a favorable therapeutic option for chemoprevention of CRC.

    Background: Brain metastasis from gastric cancer is fairly uncommon and prognosis is dismal. We report a case of early gastric cancer with brain metastasis arising 8 years after gastrectomy. Case presentation: A 78-year-old Japanese female presented to our hospital complaining of dizziness, 8 years after undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Histopathological type of the tumor was well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Final TNM classification was T1b(sm1)N0M0, and pathological stage was IA. Further examination revealed a metastatic tumor in the cerebellum and multiple liver metastases. The brain metastasis was treated using radiotherapy and steroid. Systemic treatment for liver metastases was performed using the oral fluoropyrimidine drug S-1. Neurological symptoms decreased, enabling the patient to be discharged from hospital. However, chemotherapy was discontinued due to loss of appetite and general fatigue. She died 5 months after the diagnosis of brain metastasis due to progressive disease. Conclusions: Cases of brain metastasis arising 8 years after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer have rarely reported. Aggressive treatment for brain metastases may be effective for improvement of the damage to neurological function and quality of life.

    There are only a few reports in the literature about the effect of recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) in Patients with solid carcinoma with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A retrospective study of 40 patients with solid carcinoma with DIC was performed between February 2009 and April 2013. The withdrawal rate was 32.5% (13/40 Patients) and the 28-day survival rate was 40.0% (16/40 patients). Patients with successful withdrawal of DIC had significantly better outcomes (p&lt
    0.001). Therapy with rTM is one of the treatment options for patients with solid carcinoma with DIC.

    A 64-year-old man underwent sigmoidectomy for sigmoid colon cancer 9 years ago. We attempted to discontinue surveillance, as the postoperative course was event free for 5 years
    however, we continued the follow-up on the patient's request. Nine years after the operation, elevation of the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was detected, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed a 35-mm mass with an abnormal signal (SUVmax 18.6 Bq/mL). We performed an abdominal CT and magnetic resonance imaging and found the mass invading the sigmoid colon. We suspected lymph node recurrence of the sigmoid colon cancer and considered curative surgery to be appropriate as there were no other signs of recurrence. We therefore excised the tumor by sigmoidectomy. A histopathological examination revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma in the lymph node. One year after the second operation, there was no evidence of recurrence on imaging and the levels of tumor markers were within the normal limits. Few reports have documented recurrence over 5 years after surgery. We herein describe our case and report the characteristics of a recurrent lesion and also suggest a protocol for surveillance, taking into consideration the previous literature.

    Small cell carcinoma of the esophagus is reported to be both rare and aggressive, and is commonly associated with a short Post-diagnosis survival period. We report a case of Stage IV small cell carcinoma of the esophagus involving a relatively long survival period of 2 years. The patient was a 70-year-old man with a chief complaint of epigastric discomfort. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy by a local physician showed a protruding tumor at the mid-thoracic esophagus. Tumor biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma. Chest-abdominal computed tomography revealed multiple liver metastases, and swelling of a number of regional lymph nodes. The diagnosis was cT3N4M1, cStage IVb esophageal small cell carcinoma. According to the regimen used for lung small cell carcinoma, we administered CDDP/CPT-11. After administration of four courses, the primary lesion, liver metastases, and lymph node metastases significantly reduced, indicating a partial response. However, after completion of eight courses, liver metastasis and lymph node swelling recurred. The patient subsequently received other therapeutic regimens such as CBDCA/VP-16, AMR, NGT, and CDGP/5-FU. However, the tumor gradually progressed, and the patient died approximately 2 years after the first treatment.

    Pazopanib is an orally bioavailable, ATP-competitive, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor mainly targeting VEGFR2 and PDGFR tyrosine kinases, but the biologic sequences of pazopanib activities beyond antiangiogenesis are poorly defined. We used a panel of 38 gastric cancer cell lines to test the efficacy of pazopanib. In a growth inhibition assay, genomic changes indicated that pazopanib had differential effects on cell growth. Treatment of the KATO-III, OCUM-2M, SNU-16, and HSC-39 gastric cancer cell lines harboring FGFR2 amplification with pazopanib resulted in marked decreases of cell survival with IC50 in ranges of 0.1 to 2.0 mu mol/L, whereas the same treatment of those cell lines without FGFR2 amplification had no growth-inhibitory effects. In the ectopic FGFR2-expressing model, treatment with the indicated concentrations of pazopanib significantly inhibited cell growth and colony formation by FGFR2-expressing NIH 3T3 cells with wild-type (WT) FGFR2 and mutant FGFR2 (S252W). Pazopanib also selectively suppressed constitutive FGFR2 signaling and phosphorylation of downstream effectors. In cell-cycle analysis, FGFR2-amplified cells underwent cell-cycle arrest at the G(1)-S phase after pazopanib treatment, whereas there were no significant effects on cell-cycle progression in cells without FGFR2 amplification treated with pazopanib. In addition, pazopanib increased a substantial fraction of sub-G(1) only in FGFR2-amplified cells. These findings show that the activation of FGFR2 signaling by amplification may be a critical mediator of cell proliferation in a small subset of gastric cancer patients and that pazopanib may provide genotype-correlated clinical benefits beyond the setting of highly vascular tumors.

    Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent and lethal malignancies worldwide because of high frequency of metastasis. Tumor cell motility and invasion play fundamental roles in cancer metastasis. Recent studies have revealed that the Rho/Rho-associated protein kinases (ROCK) pathway plays a critical role in the regulation of cancer cell motility and invasion. In addition, the Rho/ROCK pathway plays important roles in invasion and metastasis on the basis of its predominant function of cell cytoskeletal regulation in gastric cancer. According to the current understanding of tumor motility, there are two modes of tumor cell movement: mesenchymal and amoeboid. In addition, cancer cell movement can be interchangeable between the mesenchymal and amoeboid movements under certain conditions. Control of cell motility through the actin cytoskeleton creates the potential for regulating tumor cell metastasis. In this review we discuss Rho GTPases and ROCK signaling and describe the mechanisms of Rho/ROCK activity with regard to motility and metastasis in gastric cancer. In addition, we provide an insight of the therapeutic potential of targeting the Rho/ROCK pathway. (C) 2014 Baishideng Publishing Group Inc. All rights reserved.

    Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. In particular, scirrhous type GC is highly metastatic and is characterized clinically by rapid disease progression and poor prognosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in cancer development and progression. We previously demonstrated by microarray analysis that microRNA-145 (miR-145) is one of the more highly expressed miRNAs in scirrhous type GC vs. non-scirrhous types of GC. In the present study, we investigated the role of miR-145 in scirrhous type GC. The expression levels of miR-145 assessed by quantitative RT-PCR were higher in scirrhous type GC tissue samples than in non-scirrhous type GC and corresponding normal tissues. GC patients with high miR-145 expression were at a more advanced tumor stage (P=0.0156) and had more scirrhous type histology (P=0.0054) than those with low miR-145 expression. Furthermore, miR-145 expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis in GC patients (P=0.0438). miR-145 expression was localized in stromal fibroblasts of scirrhous type GC but not in cancer cells. miR-145 was induced by treatment by transforming growth factor-beta, and it enhanced the expression of a-smooth muscle actin, a marker of myofibroblasts, in both normal gastric fibroblasts and cancer-associated fibroblasts. These data suggest that miR-145 may contribute to the progression of scirrhous type GC by regulating activation of peri-tumoral fibroblasts.

    Persistent colonization of the gastric mucosa by Helicobacter pylori (Hp) elicits chronic inflammation and aberrant epithelial cell proliferation, which increases the risk of gastric cancer. Here we examine the ability of microRNAs to modulate gastric cell proliferation in response to persistent Hp infection and find that epigenetic silencing of miR-210 plays a key role in gastric disease progression. Importantly, DNA methylation of the miR-210 gene is increased in Hp-positive human gastric biopsies as compared with Hp-negative controls. Moreover, silencing of miR-210 in gastric epithelial cells promotes proliferation. We identify STMN1 and DIMT1 as miR-210 target genes and demonstrate that inhibition of miR-210 expression augments cell proliferation by activating STMN1 and DIMT1. Together, our results highlight inflammation-induced epigenetic silencing of miR-210 as a mechanism of induction of chronic gastric diseases, including cancer, during Hp infection.

    The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is one of the key signaling pathways induced by various receptor-tyrosine kinases. Accumulating evidence shows that this pathway is an important promoter of cell growth, metabolism, survival, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. Genetic alterations in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in gastric carcinoma have often been demonstrated. Many kinds of molecular targeting therapies are currently undergoing clinical testing in patients with solid tumors. However, with the exception of the ErbB2-targeting antibody, targeting agents, including PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors, have not been approved for treatment of patients with gastric carcinoma. This review summarizes the current knowledge on PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling in the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma and the possible therapeutic targets for gastric carcinoma. Improved knowledge of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in gastric carcinoma will be useful in understanding the mechanisms of tumor development and for identifying ideal targets of anticancer therapy for gastric carcinoma.

    Intraperitoneal (i.p) chemotherapy with paclitaxel (PTX) has been shown to be a promising treatment strategy for peritoneal metastasis. The present study focused on the comparative evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of nanopartide albumin-bound PTX (Nab-PTX) and i.p. administration of the conventional solvent-based PTX (Sb-PTX). We also investigated the difference in antitumor activity depending on the route of administration in the Nab-PTX treatment. Nab-PTX was administered i.p. or intravenously (i.v) and Sb-PTX was administered i.p. at equitoxic and equal doses to nude mice bearing gastric cancer OCUM-2MD3 cell subcutaneous and peritoneal xenografts. Therapeutic efficacy of Sb-PTX and Nab-PTX was evaluated as inhibition of tumor growth using a peritoneal metastatic model with subcutaneous xenografts. The survival rate was also investigated using mouse peritoneal models. For assessment of subcutaneous tumors, the change in tumor volume was measured, and for assessment of peritoneal tumors, the weight of ascitic fluid and the total peritoneal tumor burden were measured for each individual mouse. At equitoxic doses, treatment with Nab-PTX resulted in a greater reduction in the size of subcutaneous tumors and the weight of ascites and peritoneal burden as compared with i.p. Sb-PTX (P&lt;0.05). Treatment with i.p. and i.v. Nab-PTX also achieved greater survival benefit than i.p. Sb-PTX (P&lt;0.05). In contrast, there was no significant difference in the degree of tumor reduction and the survival time between both drugs at equal doses. With regard to the route of administration, the antitumor efficacy of Nab-PTX after i.v. administration was equivalent to the efficacy after i.p. administration. These results suggest that i.v. Nab-PTX may be another encouraging treatment option that can target peritoneal dissemination in gastric cancer.
