Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e29533. [PMID: 35758396 PMCID: PMC9276347 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000029533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of gastric cancer (GC) with synchronous liver metastasis is still controversial. This systematic review and network meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the long-term outcomes after different treatments of GC with synchronous liver metastasis. METHODS Several electronic databases were searched to identify eligible studies updated on May 1, 2021. Studies assessing the overall survival (OS) after different treatments (including chemotherapy, interventional therapy, surgical therapy alone and adjunctive therapy after surgery) of GC with synchronous liver metastasis were included. Odds ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for survival variables. RESULTS A total of 15 studies including 4312 patients were included in this network meta-analysis. Adjunctive therapy after surgery performed better than surgery therapy alone (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.23, 95% credible interval [CrI]: 0.69-2.17), chemotherapy (HR = 1.18, 95%CrI: 0.71-1.95), and interventional therapy in terms of 1-year OS (HR = 2.03, 95%CrI: 1.22-3.37). In terms of 3-OS, adjunctive therapy after surgery showed better efficacy than surgery therapy alone (HR = 1.48, 95%CrI: 0.40-5.47), chemotherapy (HR = 1.27, 95%CrI: 0.37-4.35), and interventional therapy (HR = 3.16, 95%CrI: 0.73-13.63). For 5-OS, adjunctive therapy after surgery was superior to surgery therapy alone (HR = 1.74, 95%CrI: 0.08-37.76), chemotherapy (HR = 1.44, 95%CrI: 0.66-3.14), and interventional therapy (HR = 1.46, 95%CrI: 0.06-34.36). There were no statistical inconsistency and small-study effect existed in our network meta-analysis for 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year OS. Cluster ranking analysis performed with surface under the cumulative ranking showed adjuvant therapies after surgery (99.9, 96.7, 90.2) ranking higher than surgery therapy alone, chemotherapy, and interventional therapy for 1-year, 3-year, 5-year OS. CONCLUSION The OS of adjuvant therapy after surgery was better than that of surgery therapy alone, chemotherapy, and interventional therapy. Adjuvant therapy after surgery is the most recommended therapy for people with GC with synchronous liver metastasis.

Front Oncol 2022; 11:757383. [PMID: 35047388 PMCID: PMC8761725 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.757383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background It is estimated that 35% of gastric cancer patients appear with synchronous distant metastases—the vast majority of patients presenting with metastatic hepatic disease. How to choose the most appropriate drugs or regimens is crucial to improve the prognosis of patients. We conducted this retrospective cohort analysis to evaluate the efficacy of OncoVee™-MiniPDX-guided treatment for these patients. Methods Gastric cancer patients with liver metastases (GCLM) were enrolled. Patients were divided into MiniPDX and control group according to their wishes. In the observation group, the OncoVee™-MiniPDX model was conducted to screen the most sensitive drug or regimens to determine the clinical administration. Meanwhile, patients were treated with regular medications in the control group according to the guidelines without the MiniPDX model. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary outcomes included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and progression-free survival (PFS). Results A total of 68 patients with GCLM were included, with the observation and control groups of 21 and 47 patients, respectively. The baseline characteristics of patients were balanced between these two groups. MiniPDX drug sensitivity tests were associated with the increased use of targeted drugs when compared with the control group (33.3 vs. 0%, p=0.032). Median OS was estimated to be 9.4 (95% CI, 7.9–11.2) months and 7.9 (95% CI, 7.2–8.7) months in the observation and control group, respectively. Both univariate (control group vs. MiniPDX group: HR=2.586, 95% CI= 1.362–4.908, p=0.004) and multivariate regression analyses (Control group vs. MiniPDX group: adjusted HR (aHR)=4.288, 95% CI= 1.452–12.671, p=0.008) showed the superiority of the observation group on OS. Similarly, MiniPDX-based regiments significantly improve the PFS of these cases (median PFS 6.7 months vs. 4.2 months, aHR=2.773, 95% CI=1.532–3.983, p=0.029). ORR and DCR were also improved in MiniPDX group comparing with control group (ORR, 57.14 vs. 25.53%, p=0.029; DCR: 85.71 vs. 68.08%, p=0.035). Conclusion OncoVee™-MiniPDX model, which was used to select drugs to guide antitumor treatment, was promising to prolong survival and improve the response rate of patients with GCLM. Further well-designed studies are needed to confirm the clinical benefits of MiniPDX.

RNF43 and PWWP2B inhibit cancer cell proliferation and are predictive or prognostic biomarker for FDA-approved drugs in patients with advanced gastric cancer. J Cancer 2021; 12:4616-4625. [PMID: 34149925 PMCID: PMC8210561 DOI: 10.7150/jca.56014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Abnormal regulation of genes has been closely related to gastric cancer. The characterization of gastric cancer has necessitated the development of new therapeutics as well as the identification of prognostic markers to predict the response to novel drugs. In our study, we used RNA sequencing analyses to show that on gastric cancer tissues to identification of gastric cancer prognostic markers. We specifically chose to study RNF43 because it inhibits gastric cancer-related Wnt/β-catenin signaling by interacting with Wnt receptors. PWWP2B was chosen because it is a gene which is downregulated in gastric cancer. Methods: Utilizing RNA sequencing analysis, we evaluated the mRNA expression profile in gastric cancer patients. Also, we used HAP1 cells which is a human near-haploid cell line derived from the male chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line KBM-7. These cell line has one copy of each gene, ensuring the edited allele will not be masked by additional alleles. We investigated the screening of 1,449 FDA-approved drugs in HAP1, HAP1 RNF43 KO and HAP1 PWWP2B KO cells. RNA sequencing data reveals that RNF43 and PWWP2B expression were down-regulated in recurrence gastric cancer patients. Next, we investigated the anti-cancer effects of selected drugs in RNF43 and PWWP2B down-regulated MKN45 gastric cancer cells and xenograft model. Results: Among these FDA-approved drugs, three drugs (docetaxel trihydrate, pelitinib and uprosertib) showed strong inhibitory effects in RNF43 KO cells and PWWP2B KO cells. In MKN45 xenograft model, tumor volumes were significantly reduced in the docetaxel trihydrate, uprosertib or pelitinib-treated group. Our data demonstrated that RNF43 and PWWP2B are a biomarker that predict recurrence of gastric cancer. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that docetaxel trihydrate, uprosertib and pelitinib could be used as novel therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer with a decrease in RNF43 and PWWP2B expression.

Abstract
To investigate the different expression of epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in gastric cancer based on tumor locations and its impact on patients survival.Gastric cancer is heterogeneous disease, recent years have established a molecular classification and described distribution of molecular subtypes in stomach. However, the difference of EGFR and HER-2 expression among tumor location is still unknown.Between January 2010 and August 2014, 2477 consecutive patients with gastric cancer were treated in our surgery department. The tumor locations were classified into 4 groups: cardia, fundus, corpus, and antrum. Based on tumor locations, the clinicopathologic characteristics, EGFR and HER-2 expression, and follow-up data were analyzed by univariant analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis retrospectively.There were difference of gender, age, Borrmann type, pathological type, differentiation, T-stage, tumor size, gastrectomy method, and complications among the locations. The positive rate of EGFR expression in fundus was 18.18%, which was lower than cardia (46.21%), corpus (43.62%), and antrum (48.83%) (P < .001). The 5-year survival rate in EGFR positive patients was 50.8%, which was significantly lower than EGFR negative patients (64.0%, P = .021). The positive rate of HER-2 expression in cardia was 48.15%, which was significantly higher than fundus (37.5%), corpus (35.45%), and antrum (38.54%) (P = .009), but HER-2 expression did not correlate with 5-year survive (P = .548).Our results suggest that there exist difference of EGFR and HER-2 expression based on tumor locations, and the distribution of EGFR impact on patients survival. Emphasizing the role of EGFR and HER-2 in the context of location contribute to make appropriate treatment strategy and improve prognosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dose-related toxicity is the major restriction of cisplatin and cisplatin-combination chemotherapy, and is a challenge for advanced gastric cancer treatment. We explored the possibility of using Paris saponin I as an agent to sensitize gastric cancer cells to cisplatin, and examined the underlying mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS Growth inhibition was detected by MTT assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry and Annexin V/PI staining. The P21waf1/cip1, Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase-3 protein expression were detected using Western blot analysis. RESULTS The results revealed that PSI sensitized gastric cancer cells to cisplatin, with low toxicity. The IC50 value of cisplatin in SGC-7901 cell lines was decreased when combined with PSI. PSI promoted cisplatin-induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in a cisplatin concentration-dependent manner. Bcl-2 protein expression decreased, but Bax, caspase-3, and P21waf1/cip1 protein expression increased with PSI treatment. CONCLUSIONS The underlying mechanism of Paris saponin I may be related to targeting the apoptosis pathway and cell cycle blocking, which suggests that PSI is a potential therapeutic sensitizer for cisplatin in treating gastric cancer.

Abstract
The most common sites for extragonadal germ cell tumors are the midline mediastinum, retroperitoneum and, much less frequently, the stomach. The stomach-originated primary germ cell tumor carries a poor prognosis, especially when metastasis occurs to the liver, with a mean survival time of 1 month. We describe the case of a 77-year-old male who presented with usual symptoms of gastric malignancy. Gastrectomy was performed. Histopathology of surgically resected tissue revealed a mixture of adenocarcinoma and endodermal sinus tumor components with α-fetoprotein production. After liver metastasis was identified, oxaliplatin and capecitabine were administered as palliative chemotherapy. The response was poor. For the second-line therapy, bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) therapy was initiated. The overall response to these drugs was a partial response and the residual liver lesion was considered to be resectable. The patient died of pneumonia 11 months following the BEP session, representing an overall survival time of 22 months. Gastric adenocarcinoma with a germ cell tumor component is uncommon and an effective combination of chemotherapeutic agents is not yet clear. In this case, the patient received germ cell tumor-targeting chemotherapy and showed a durable response. Hence, germ cell-targeting cytotoxic agents have potential as the 'front-line regimen'.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We previously demonstrated the safety and efficacy of low-dose, short-interval target vessel regional chemotherapy (TVRC(LDSI)) delivered through the hepatic artery with transarterial embolization (TAE) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of TAE + TVRC(LDSI) with that of standard TAE + TVRC in AGC patients with liver metastases who failed to respond to first- or second-line systemic chemotherapy. METHODS This study recruited a total of 58 GC patients with liver metastases after failure of first- or second-line systemic chemotherapy. Twenty-eight patients were assigned to the TAE + TVRC(LDSI) group and 30 patients to the TAE + TVRC group. The primary end point was overall survival (OS(TVRC)), which was defined as the time from the initiation of TVRC until the last follow-up or death. RESULTS OS(TVRC), time to progression (TTP) until appearance of intra- and extrahepatic metastases, and overall TTP and treatment periods in the TAE + TVRC(LDSI) group were all significantly longer than in the TAE + TVRC group (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSION TAE + TVRC(LDSI) had a higher efficacy and safety, which was reflected by OS rates, progression-free survival rates, longer duration of treatment and milder side effects compared to standard TAE + TVRC.
