Abstract
The progression from gastric mucosal inflammation to cancer signifies a pivotal event in the trajectory of gastric cancer (GC) development. Chinese medicine (CM) exhibits unique advantages and holds significant promise in inhibiting carcinogenesis of the gastric mucosa. This review intricately examines the critical pathological events during the transition from gastric mucosal inflammation-cancer transformation (GMICT), with a particular focus on pathological evolution mechanisms of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Moreover, it investigates the pioneering applications and advancements of CM in intervening within the medical research domain of precancerous transformations leading to GC. Furthermore, the analysis extends to major shortcomings and challenges confronted by current research in gastric precancerous lesions, and innovative studies related to CM are presented. We offer a highly succinct yet optimistic outlook on future developmental trends. This paper endeavors to foster a profound understanding of forefront dynamics in GMICT research and scientific implications of modernizing CM. It also introduces a novel perspective for establishing a collaborative secondary prevention system for GC that integrates both Western and Chinese medicines.

Abstract
Background Spasmolytic polypeptide expression metaplasia (SPEM) occurs in the corpus of the stomach and is closely related to inflammations caused by H. pylori infection. Recently, SPEM was suggested as one of the dubious precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (GC). Thus, further research on SPEM cell transdifferentiation and its underlying mechanisms could facilitate the development of new molecular targets improving the therapeutics of GC. Using bibliometrics, we analyzed publications, summarized the research hotspots and provided references for scientific researchers engaged in related research fields. Methods We searched the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) for publications related to SPEM-GC from 2002 to 2022. The VOSviewer, SCImago, CiteSpace and R software were used to visualize and analyze the data. Gene targets identified in the keyword list were analyzed for functional enrichment using the KEGG and GO databases. Results Of the 292 articles identified in the initial search, we observed a stable trend in SPEM-GC research but rapid growth in the number of citations. The United States was the leader in terms of quality publications and international cooperation among them. The total number of articles published by Chinese scholars was second to the United States. Additionally, despite its low centrality and average citation frequency, China has become one of the world's most dynamic countries in academics. In terms of productivity, Vanderbilt University was identified as the most productive institution. Further, we also observed that Gastroenterology was the highest co-cited journal, and Goldenring Jr. was the most prolific author with the largest centrality. Conclusion SPEM could serve as an initial step in diagnosing gastric precancerous lesions. Current hotspots and frontiers of research include SPEM cell lineage differentiation, interaction with H. pylori, disturbances of the mucosal microenvironment, biomarkers, clinical diagnosis and outcomes of SPEM, as well as the development of proliferative SPEM animal models. However, further research and collaboration are still required. The findings presented in this study can be used as reference for the research status of SPEM-GC and determine new directions for future studies.

Validation of the DNA Methylation Landscape of TFF1/TFF2 in Gastric Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14225474. [PMID: 36428568 PMCID: PMC9688599 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14225474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
As one of the most frequently occurring tumor types, the increasing incidence of gastric cancer (GC) has been observed in the past decades. The recent studies have illustrated that epigenetic modifications mediated by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are the major epigenetic hallmark in GC progression. Nowadays, DNA methylation was considered to be necessary for inducing the silence of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs). As an important group of peptides, the TFF family has been confirmed to function as a TSG in various kinds of cancers. However, whether TFFs could be modified by DNA methylation in gastric cancer remains unknown. Here, we initially screened out two transcriptional sequencing profiles about GC from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The lower expression levels of TFF1 and TFF2 were observed in GC tumor tissues as compared to those in normal tissues. Additionally, utilizing the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the expressions of TFF1 and TFF2 were identified to be associated with the prognosis of GC patients. Subsequently, the integrative analysis was performed to estimate the DNA methylation level of each site in TFF1/TFF2 CpG islands. Importantly, our findings indicated that hyper-methylation of cg01886855 and cg26403416 were separately responsible for the downregulation of TFF1 and TFF2 in GC samples. In addition, utilizing the experiments in vitro, we demonstrated that TFF1/TFF2 could suppress the proliferation of GC cells. Based on these results, we suspected that TFF1/TFF2 could potentially act as the putative tumor suppressor in GC, and these two TFFs were of great value for predicting the overall survival (OS) status in the gastric cancer cohort. Totally, our findings revealed a potential therapeutic method for targeting the TFFs for the treatment of GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is the leading cause of peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis and may initiate gastric carcinogenesis following the Correa cascade. Another lineage of metaplasia, spasmolytic peptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) has recently been found to be an alternative precursor to gastric cancer. To date, few reports have investigated gastric precancerous lesions among children with H. pylori infection. This study aimed to evaluate the histopathological pattern of H. pylori atrophic gastritis in children and the extent of precancerous lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study enrolled pediatric patients with H. pylori infection from 1998 to 2019. During esophagogastroduodenoscopy examinations, biopsy fragments were collected from the gastric antrum and corpus for rapid urease test, culture, and histology evaluation. The presence and degree of chronic inflammation, activity of gastritis, H. pylori density, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia (IM) were assessed according to the modified Updated Sydney System. Trefoil factor 2 (TFF2) immunohistochemistry was also performed to assess SPEM in the gastric tissues collected from each case using rabbit anti-human TFF2 antibodies. RESULTS A total of 92 children with H. pylori infection and adequate gastric mucosa biopsies were enrolled. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed that 39 (42.4%) had duodenal ulcers, 11 (12.0%) had gastric ulcers, 41 (44.6%) had gastritis, and 1 (1.1%) had negative findings. Mild-to-moderate IM was identified in 4 patients (4.3%). SPEM was found in 8 patients (8.7%) with a significantly higher incidence among female patients (15.8% vs. 8.7%, p = .031). Gastric glandular atrophy presented in 28 patients (30.4%), and high-grade atrophy was more common in female patients (3.2% vs. 1.9%, p = .031). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence rates of atrophic gastritis in the children with H. pylori infection were 30.4% for gastric glandular atrophy, 4.3% for IM and 8.7% for SPEM. SPEM and high-grade atrophy were more common in female patients.

Abstract
Gastric cancer remains an enormous threat to human health. It is extremely significant to make a clear diagnosis and timely treatment of gastrointestinal tumors. The traditional diagnosis method (endoscope, surgery, and pathological tissue extraction) of gastric cancer is usually invasive, expensive, and time-consuming. The machine learning method is fast and low-cost, which breaks through the limitations of the traditional methods as we can apply the machine learning method to diagnose gastric cancer. This work aims to construct a cheap, non-invasive, rapid, and high-precision gastric cancer diagnostic model using personal behavioral lifestyles and non-invasive characteristics. A retrospective study was implemented on 3,630 participants. The developed models (extreme gradient boosting, decision tree, random forest, and logistic regression) were evaluated by cross-validation and the generalization ability in our test set. We found that the model developed using fingerprints based on the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm produced better results compared with the other models. The overall accuracy of which test set was 85.7%, AUC was 89.6%, sensitivity 78.7%, specificity 76.9%, and positive predictive values 73.8%, verifying that the proposed model has significant medical value and good application prospects.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2021; 13:1741-1754. [PMID: 34853647 PMCID: PMC8603444 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v13.i11.1741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is a potential preneoplastic lesion.
AIM To elucidate the microRNA (miR)-7-mediated preventive and inhibitive effects of Yiwei Xiaoyu granules (YWXY) in SPEM lesions.
METHODS Gastric mucosa biopsies were collected from chronic atrophic gastritis patients and healthy people with signed informed consent. YWXY was administered to the mice with induced SPEM by tamoxifen, and the gastric mucosa was harvested on the tenth day of the experiment. Then immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were performed to validate the SPEM, lesions and the potential mechanism was investigated. RNA transcripts were detected with reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
RESULTS The expression of miR-7 was downregulated in the SPEM lesions, and expression of trefoil factor 2 (TFF2) and clusterin was high in the human gastric mucosa. In vivo experiments showed that YWXY could inhibit the cell proliferation in the tamoxifen-induced SPEM lesions by regulating Ki67. Simultaneously, YWXY could restore the expression of miR-7 by regulating TFF2 by detection with immunofluorescence but not with reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, indicating its potential mechanism of targeting miR-7 by mediating TFF2. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-β and gastric intrinsic factor was restored within 3 d of YWXY administration for the SPEM lesions, speculating that the possible mechanism of YWXY is to inhibit the development and progression of SPEM by regulating vascular endothelial growth factor-β and gastric intrinsic factor.
CONCLUSION miR-7 downregulation is an early event in SPEM through regulation of TFF2 in human gastric mucosa. YWXY is able to inhibit the cell proliferation and restore the expression of miR-7 by mediating TFF2 in the SPEM mouse model.

Abstract
Gastric cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide, although the incidence is declining gradually. The primary risk factor for gastric cancer is Helicobacter pylori infection. The Kyoto global consensus report recommends eradication of H. pylori in all infected patients. However, because it is difficult to stratify the risk of carcinogenesis among patients with a history of H. pylori infection, annual endoscopic surveillance is performed for everyone after eradication. This review summarizes the current approaches used to screen for novel molecules that could assist in the diagnosis of gastric cancer and reduce mortality. Most well-studied molecules are tissue protein biomarkers expressed by the gastric epithelium and associated with metaplasia-dysplasia-carcinoma sequences. Other strategies focus on the origin of cancer stem cell-related markers, such as CD44, and immune reaction-related markers, such as matrix metallopeptidases. Noninvasive methods such as blood-based approaches are more attractive. Serum pepsinogen levels predict the severity of gastric mucosal atrophy before H. pylori eradication, whereas plasma ghrelin levels are associated with atrophy even after eradication. Cell-free DNAs and RNAs are attractive tools for the early detection of cancer. These ideas could lead to the development of more personalized strategies for cancer prevention based on cutting-edge technologies.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most fatal common cancers in worldwide. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely related to the development of GC, although the mechanism is still unclear. In our study, we aim to develop a robust messenger RNA (mRNA) signature associated with H. pylori (-) GC that can sensitively and efficiently predict the prognostic. The RNA-seq expression profile and corresponding clinical data of 598 gastric cancer samples and 63 normal samples obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus database. Using gene set enrichment analysis H. pylori (+) GC and H. pylori (-) GC patients and normal samples to select certain genes for further analysis. Using univariate and multivariate Cox regression model to establish a gene signature for predicting the overall survival (OS). Finally, we identified G2/M related seven-mRNA signature (TGFB1, EGF, MKI67, ILF3, INCENP, TNPO2, and CHAF1A) closely related to the prognosis of patients with H. pylori (-) GC. The seven-mRNA signature was identified to act as an independent prognostic biomarker by stratified analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis. It was also validated on two test groups from TCGA and GSE15460 and shown that patients with high-risk scores based on the expression of the seven mRNAs had significantly shorter survival times compared to patients with low-risk scores (P < .0001). In this study, we developed a seven-mRNA signature related to G2/M checkpoint from H. pylori (-) GCs that as an independent biomarker potentially with a good performance in predicting OS and might be valuable for the clinical management for patients with GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is a preneoplastic gastric cancer lesion related to epigenetic microRNA (miRNA) expression. This study elucidated whether Helicobacter pylori-infected first-degree relatives of patients with gastric cancer (GCF) are susceptible to have SPEM and correlated with miR-21, 155, and 223 expressions. We also validated whether SPEM and these miRNAs can be regressed after H pylori eradication. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 148 GCF and 148 nonulcer dyspepsia (NUD) subjects without gastric cancer familial history as controls. Each case had received a panendoscopy to determine H pylori status and gastric histology, including SPEM. The cases with SPEM were followed after H pylori eradication to determine SPEM regression. The total RNA was extracted to analyze tissues miR-21, 155, and 223 before and after eradication. RESULTS GCF subjects had a higher prevalence of H pylori infection (73% vs 32%) and SPEM (42% vs 14%, P < 0.01) than controls. The tissue miR-21, 155, and 223 in antrum were higher in cases with SPEM than in those without SPEM (P <= 0.05). There was similar SPEM reversibility after H pylori eradication between GCF subjects and controls (72% vs 69%, P = 0.852). In the SPEM regressed cases, tissue miR-21, 155, and 223 decreased after H pylori eradication (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The H pylori-infected GCF subjects were prone to have SPEM with higher tissues miR-21, 155, and 223 expressions. H pylori eradication can result in a 70% SPEM regression, accompanied by a decline in miR-21, 155, and 233 expression levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corpus-predominant gastritis index (CGI) is an early histological marker to identify Helicobacter pylori-infected gastric cancer relatives at risk of cancer. This study validated whether CGI is more prevalent in H. pylori-infected nonulcer dyspepsia (NUD) subjects than in duodenal ulcer (DU) controls and whether it is reversible after H. pylori eradication or is correlated with noninvasive biomarkers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this longitudinal cohort study, 573 H. pylori-infected subjects were enrolled, including 349 NUD and 224 DU. Gastric specimens were provided to assess CGI, spasmolyic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM), and Operative Link on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia assessment (OLGIM). Serum pepsinogen I and II levels were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CGI subjected were followed up at least 1 year after H. pylori eradication. RESULTS NUD subjects had higher prevalence rates of CGI (47.0% vs 29.9%, P<.001) and OLGIM stages III-IV (24.1% vs 15.2%, P=.01) than controls. CGI was highly prevalent in NUD subjects after the age of 40, which was 10 years earlier than atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. NUD subjects with CGI had higher risk of SPEM (OR 2.86, P<.001) and lower serum pepsinogen I/II ratios (P<.001) than those without CGI. Serum pepsinogen I/II ratios <9 could predict CGI modestly (AUROC 0.69, 95% CI: 0.63-0.74). CGI was regressed after eradication (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS CGI was more prevalent in H. pylori-infected NUD subjects than in controls, was correlated with SPEM, and may serve as a marker earlier than OLGIM to indicate risk of gastric cancer. Moreover, CGI could be regressed after eradication.
