Clinical characteristics of gastrointestinal stromal tumors with hypoglycemia. Oncol Lett 2024; 28:568. [PMID: 39390979 PMCID: PMC11465228 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2024.14701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of tyrosine-kinase inhibitors has improved survival rates for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Despite the progress, not all the patients can universally receive the benefit from treatment due to the individual underlying conditions in a real-world setting. The present study focused on the well-known but understudied condition of GIST with hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia in GIST is characterized by hypoglycemic symptoms such as dizziness, sweating and confusion. It is caused by several factors such as multiple liver metastases, drug adverse effects, postoperative complications and paraneoplastic syndrome [non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH)]. Comprehensive analysis of this condition has been hindered due to its rarity, and has been mostly limited to case reports. In the present study, a single-institution retrospective analysis of GIST with hypoglycemia was conducted to investigate its prevalence and prognosis, and the cause of this condition. The present study identified that the prevalence of hypoglycemic episodes of GIST was 4.1% in all patients with GIST, and recurrent hypoglycemic cases had a poor prognosis. The present study identified 1 case with recurrent hypoglycemia due to NICTH. Since NICTH is a rare hypoglycemic cause and requires further evaluation, an autopsy and genetic sequencing were performed using the available clinical materials. Through this histological and genetic investigation, the histological diversity of NICTH-GIST was revealed and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) amplification was identified. Furthermore, a chronological analysis was performed using multiple resected archived samples from the same case, and revealed that diffuse IGF-II expression may have occurred in the early phase of tumor development. The present study catalogued the characteristics of GIST with hypoglycemia with a focus on NICTH-GIST.

Abstract
Gastric cancer treatments are evolving rapidly. For example, immune checkpoint inhibitors, especially those that target PD-1 or PD-L1, have long-term efficacy in a subset of gastric cancer patients, and are currently the first-line therapy. Immunotherapies approved for use in untreated gastric cancer patients include monotherapy and chemotherapy-immunotherapy combinations. Major clinical trials have reported efficacy and safety data suggesting that PD-L1 expression is important for regimen selection, although other biomarkers, clinicopathologic factors, and patient preference might also be relevant in other situations. Currently, several novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies are being assessed, which might refine the current treatment paradigm. In this review, we describe the current treatment regimens for patients with gastric cancer and detail the approach we use for the selection of first-line immunotherapy regimens.

Effect of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition Support on Pulmonary Function in Elderly Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Complicated by Respiratory Failure. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4743070. [PMID: 36245845 PMCID: PMC9556180 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4743070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective. To investigate the effect of enteral and parenteral nutrition support (EPNS) on pulmonary function in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated by respiratory failure (RF). Methods. A total of 127 patients who underwent treatment for elderly patients with COPD complicated by RF in our hospital from February 2020 to May 2022 were collected for a retrospective analysis. There were 41 patients with enteral nutrition support (group A), 46 with parenteral nutrition support (group B), and 40 with EPNS (group C). The levels of serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), serum hemoglobin (Hb), and serum transferrin (TRF) were measured before and after nutritional support in the three groups, and the changes in pulmonary function of patients were compared. The changes in the levels of inflammatory factors and markers of oxidative stress (OS) in serum were also detected, and the incidence of adverse reactions and length of stay (LOS) were counted. Results. ALB, PA, Hb, and TRF levels were increased in all 3 groups after nutritional support, with the highest in group C (
). Similarly, lung function was improved in all 3 groups and inflammatory factor levels and OS were suppressed, also most dramatically in group C (
). There was no difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the 3 groups, and the LOS in group C was shorter than those in groups A and B (
). Conclusion. EPNS can effectively improve the lung function of patients with COPD combined with RF and reduce the inflammation and OS damage. It can effectively improve the therapeutic effect of patients and has great application prospects in the treatment of COPD combined with RH in the future.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor, and patients with GC have a low survival rate due to limited effective treatment methods. Angiogenesis and immune evasion are two key processes in GC progression, and they act synergistically to promote tumor progression. Tumor vascular normalization has been shown to improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, which in turn may be improved through enhanced immune stimulation. Therefore, it may be interesting to identify synergies between immunomodulatory agents and anti-angiogenic therapies in GC. This strategy aims to normalize the tumor microenvironment through the action of the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor while stimulating the immune response through immunotherapy and prolonging the survival of GC patients.

Abstract
Introduction Clinical trials have proven the efficacy and safety of new therapies for advanced gastric cancer (AGC), but how those therapies are used in the real world is poorly described. Real-world treatment patterns of antitumor therapies and factors associated with overall therapy duration in patients with AGC in Japan were investigated. Methods This retrospective cohort study used a Japanese administrative claims database (June 2014 to September 2019). Patients with AGC who started the guideline-recommended first-line combination regimens with platinum and fluoropyrimidine agents between June 2015 and July 2019 were included. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with overall therapy duration (first line to last administration of guideline-listed agent). Results Of the 10,581 patients included, the most common first-line combination regimen without trastuzumab was S-1 plus oxaliplatin (4327/9069 patients; 47.7%) and with trastuzumab was capecitabine plus cisplatin (608/1512 patients; 40.2%). Most common second- and third-line regimens were ramucirumab plus taxane (3650/5358 patients; 68.1%) and nivolumab (1229/2390 patients; 51.4%), respectively. Factors positively associated with longer overall therapy duration were: oral fluoropyrimidine in first line (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.63 [0.57–0.69]); trastuzumab in any line (0.73 [0.68–0.78]); treatment at a designated cancer hospital (0.89 [0.84–0.94]); dietary consultation within 1 month before/after start of first line (0.92 [0.86–0.98]); and treatment at a surgical department (0.94 [0.89–0.99]). Negatively associated factors were: edema (1.21 [1.07–1.37]); physical therapy (1.21 [1.12–1.31]); nutritional intervention (1.21 [1.14–1.28]) within 1 month before/after start of first line; thrombosis (1.13 [1.04–1.23]); renal disease (1.11 [1.02–1.21]); age (1.07 [1.02–1.13]); and peritoneal metastasis/ascites (1.06 [1.01–1.13]). Conclusions In real-world treatment practice for AGC in Japan, therapy choice after the recommended first-line chemotherapy was consistent with guidelines. Factors associated with overall therapy duration were identified, which may assist in optimizing treatment sequence.

Abstract
Gastric cancer treatments are rapidly evolving, leading to significant survival benefit. Recent evidence provided by clinical trials strongly encouraged the use of perioperative chemotherapy as standard treatment for the localized disease, whereas in the advanced disease setting, molecular characterization has improved patients’ selection for tailored therapeutic approaches, including molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy. The role of nutritional therapy is widely recognized, with oncologic treatment’s tolerance and response being better in well-nourished patients. In this review, literature data on strategies or nutritional interventions will be critically examined, with particular regard to different treatment phases (perioperative, metastatic, and palliative settings), with the aim to draw practical indications for an adequate nutritional support of gastric cancer patients and provide an insight on future directions in nutritional strategies. We extensively analyzed the last 10 years of literature, in order to provide evidence that may fit current clinical practice both in terms of nutritional interventions and oncological treatment. Overall, 137 works were selected: 34 Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs), 12 meta-analysis, 9 reviews, and the most relevant prospective, retrospective and cross-sectional studies in this setting. Eleven ongoing trials have been selected from clinicaltrial.gov as representative of current research. One limitation of our work lies in the heterogeneity of the described studies, in terms of sample size, study procedures, and both nutritional and clinical outcomes. Indeed, to date, there are no specific evidence-based guidelines in this fields, therefore we proposed a clinical algorithm with the aim to indicate an appropriate nutritional strategy for gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric adenocarcinoma with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is therapy resistant and leads to poor survival. To study PC in depth, there is an urgent need to develop representative PC-derived cell lines and metastatic models to study molecular mechanisms of PC and for preclinical screening of new therapies. METHODS PC cell lines were developed from patient-derived PC cells. The tumorigenicity and metastatic potential were investigated by subcutaneously (PDXs) and orthotopically. Karyotyping, whole-exome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and functional studies were performed to molecularly define the cell lines and compare genomic and phenotypic features of PDX and donor PC cells. RESULTS We established three PC cell lines (GA0518, GA0804, and GA0825) and characterized them in vitro. The doubling times were 22, 39, and 37 h for GA0518, GA0804, and GA0825, respectively. Expression of cancer stem cell markers (CD44, ALDH1, CD133 and YAP1) and activation of oncogenes varied among the cell lines. All three PC cell lines formed PDXs. Interestingly, all three PC cell lines formed tumors in the patient derived orthotopic (PDO) model and GA0518 cell line consistently produced PC in mice. Moreover, PDXs recapitulated transcriptomic and phenotypic features of the donor PC cells. Finally, these cell lines were suitable for preclinical testing of chemotherapy and target agents in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION We successfully established three patient-derived PC cell lines and an improved PDO model with high incidence of PC associated with malignant ascites. Thus, these cell lines and metastatic PDO model represent excellent resources for exploring metastatic mechanisms of PC in depth and for target drug screening and validation by interrogating GAC for translational studies.

EphA2-YES1-ANXA2 pathway promotes gastric cancer progression and metastasis. Oncogene 2021; 40:3610-3623. [PMID: 33941853 PMCID: PMC8134040 DOI: 10.1038/s41388-021-01786-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EphA2) is a key member of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, while YES Proto-Oncogene 1 (YES1) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase (nRTK) and annexin A2 (ANXA2) belongs to the calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein family annexins. Here, we show that EphA2, YES1, and ANXA2 form a signal axis, in which YES1 activated by EphA2 phosphorylates ANXA2 at Tyr24 site, leading to ANXA2 activation and increased ANXA2 nuclear distribution in gastric cancer (GC) cells. Overexpression (OE) of YES1 increases, while knockdown (KD) of YES1 or ANXA2 decreases GC cell invasion and migration in vitro and tumor growth in mouse models. Reexpression of wildtype (WT) rather than mutant ANXA2 (Tyr24F) in ANXA2 knockdown (ANXA2-KD) GC cells restores YES1-induced cell invasion and migration, while neither WT nor mutant ANXA2 (Tyr24F) can restore cell invasion and migration in YES1-KD GC cells. In addition, the activation of EphA2-YES1-ANXA2 pathway is correlated with poor prognosis. Thus, our results establish EphA2-YES1-ANXA2 axis as a novel pathway that drives GC invasion and metastasis, targeting this pathway would be an efficient way for the treatment of GC.
