Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the expression level of ATP5A1 in gastric carcinoma and its influence on the prognosis of the patients and glucose metabolism in the tumor cells. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 115 patients undergoing radical resection of gastric carcinoma in our hospital from February, 2013 to November, 2016. ATP5A1 expression in the surgical specimens were detected using immunohistochemistry, and the long-term prognosis of the patients with high (n=58) and low ATP5A1 expression (n=57) were analyzed. In gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells, the effects of lentivirus-mediated ATP5A1 knockdown or overexpression on glucose metabolism were investigated. We also observed the growth and glucose metabolism of xenografts derived from MGC803 cells with ATP5A1 knockdown or overexpression in nude mice. RESULTS ATP5A1 was significantly overexpressed in gastric carcinoma tissues in close correlation with blood CEA and CA19-9 levels, pathological grade, T stage and N stage (P < 0.05). ATP5A1 overexpression was an independent risk factor for a significantly lowered 5-year survival rate of patients with gastric carcinoma (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated the predictive value of high ATP5A1 expression for the patients'prognosis (P < 0.001). In MGC803 cells, ATP5A1 overexpression significantly upregulated cellular glucose uptake and lactate production and increased the protein levels of HK2, PFK1, and LDHA (P < 0.05), while ATP5A1 knockdown produced the opposite changes (P < 0.05). In the tumor-bearing mice, overexpression of ATP5A1 increased glucose metabolism of the tumor cells and promoted tumor growth (P < 0.05). Overexpression of ATP5A1 promoted the expressions of p-JNK and p-JUN in MGC803 cells (P < 0.05), and the JNK inhibitor SP600125 significantly inhibited the enhancement of cellular glucose metabolism induced by ATP5A1 overexpression (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION High ATP5A1 expression in gastric cancer is associated a poor long-term prognosis of the patients, and its effect is mediated at least partly by promoting glucose metabolism of the cells through the JNK/JUN pathway.

World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:2182-2193. [PMID: 38808342 PMCID: PMC11129128 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i13.2182] [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: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver metastases (LM) is the primary factor contributing to unfavorable outcomes in patients diagnosed with gastric cancer (GC). The objective of this study is to analyze significant prognostic risk factors for patients with GCLM and develop a reliable nomogram model that can accurately predict individualized prognosis, thereby enhancing the ability to evaluate patient outcomes. AIM To analyze prognostic risk factors for GCLM and develop a reliable nomogram model to accurately predict individualized prognosis, thereby enhancing patient outcome assessment. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data pertaining to GCLM (type III), admitted to the Department of General Surgery across multiple centers of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2010 to January 2018. The dataset was divided into a development cohort and validation cohort in a ratio of 2:1. In the development cohort, we utilized univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify independent risk factors associated with overall survival in GCLM patients. Subsequently, we established a prediction model based on these findings and evaluated its performance using receiver operator characteristic curve analysis, calibration curves, and clinical decision curves. A nomogram was created to visually represent the prediction model, which was then externally validated using the validation cohort. RESULTS A total of 372 patients were included in this study, comprising 248 individuals in the development cohort and 124 individuals in the validation cohort. Based on Cox analysis results, our final prediction model incorporated five independent risk factors including albumin levels, primary tumor size, presence of extrahepatic metastases, surgical treatment status, and chemotherapy administration. The 1-, 3-, and 5-years Area Under the Curve values in the development cohort are 0.753, 0.859, and 0.909, respectively; whereas in the validation cohort, they are observed to be 0.772, 0.848, and 0.923. Furthermore, the calibration curves demonstrated excellent consistency between observed values and actual values. Finally, the decision curve analysis curve indicated substantial net clinical benefit. CONCLUSION Our study identified significant prognostic risk factors for GCLM and developed a reliable nomogram model, demonstrating promising predictive accuracy and potential clinical benefit in evaluating patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of Trichohyalin (TCHH) in gastric cancer patients through bioinformatics analysis. Materials and Methods Data on TCHH expression and clinicopathological information were sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for evaluating the correlation between TCHH mRNA expression levels and clinicopathological features. The predictive significance of TCHH mRNA expression for overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI) in patients with gastric cancer was assessed using Cox regression models. Furthermore, measures of immune cell infiltration in gastric cancer were made, and studies of gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment were also carried out to investigate the possible roles of TCHH in patients with gastric cancer. Results Compared to normal tissues, gastric cancer had a considerably higher expression of TCHH mRNA (P < 0.05). Wilcoxon analysis revealed a significant association between TCHH mRNA expression and the pathologic M stage (P = 0.017). High TPMT mRNA levels were also correlated with worse OS, DFS, and PFI in gastric cancer patients (both P < 0.05). TCHH showed significant negative correlations with the levels of NK CD56dim infiltration (r = -0.157, p = 0.002), Th17 cells infiltration (r = -0.235, P < 0.001), and Th2 infiltration (r = -0.195, P < 0.001). Furthermore, enrichment analysis indicated potential involvement in intermediate filament cytoskeleton organization, DNA methylation in gamete generation, cell-cell recognition, and G protein-coupled peptide receptor (GPCRs) activity. Conclusion The level of TCHH mRNA may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Patients with gastric cancer liver metastasis (GCLM) are often treated with palliative care, and they show a poor prognosis. In gastric cancer, high CD47 expression has been shown to indicate a poor prognosis. CD47, expressed on the cell surface, prevents the cells from being phagocytosed by macrophages. Anti-CD47 antibodies have been shown to be effective in the treatment of metastatic leiomyosarcoma. Nonetheless, the role of CD47 in GCLM has not yet been elucidated. Here, we showed that CD47 expression in GCLM tissues was higher than that in situ. Moreover, we demonstrated that high CD47 expression correlated with an adverse prognosis. Accordingly, we investigated the role of CD47 in the development of GCLM in mouse liver. Knockdown of CD47 inhibited GCLM development. Furthermore, in vitro engulfment assays showed that decreased CD47 expression led to an increased phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells (KCs). Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we determined that CD47 knockdown promoted cytokine secretion by macrophages. Furthermore, we found that tumor-derived exosomes decreased KC-mediated phagocytosis of gastric cancer cells. Finally, in a heterotopic xenograft model, the administration of anti-CD47 antibodies inhibited tumor growth. In addition, as 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu)-based chemotherapy is the cornerstone in GCLM treatment, we administered a combination of anti-CD47 antibodies and 5-Fu, which acted synergistically to suppress the tumor. Overall, we demonstrated that tumor-derived exosomes are involved in GCLM progression, targeting CD47 inhibits gastric cancer tumorigenesis, and a combination of anti-CD47 antibodies and 5-Fu shows potential for treating GCLM.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Gastric cancer (GC) is often diagnosed in the metastatic stage. Palliative systemic therapy is still considered the gold standard, even for patients with resectable oligometastatic disease. The aim of the current study is to assess the potential benefit of up-front gastric and liver resection in patients with synchronous resectable liver-only metastases from GC (LMGC) in a Western population. Materials and Methods: All patients with GC and synchronous LMGC who underwent gastric resection with or without simultaneous resection of LMs between January 1997 and December 2016 were selected from the institutional records. Those with T4b primary tumors or with unresectable or more than three LMs were excluded from the analysis. All patients who underwent emergency surgery for hemorrhagic shock or gastric perforation were also excluded. Results: Out of 28 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria, 16 underwent simultaneous gastric and liver resection (SR group), while 12 underwent palliative gastric resection (GR group). The median overall survival (OS) of the entire cohort was of 18.81 months, with 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates of 71.4%, 17.9% and 14.3%, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates in SR group (75%, 31.3% and 25%, respectively) were significantly higher than those achieved in GR group (66.7%, 0% and 0%, respectively; p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis of the entire cohort revealed that the only independent prognostic factor associated with better OS was liver resection (HR = 3.954, 95% CI: 1.542-10.139; p = 0.004). Conclusions: In a Western cohort, simultaneous resection of GC and LMGC significantly improved OS compared to patients who underwent palliative gastric resection.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma and esophageal cancer are the fifth and seventh most common cancer types worldwide. At the time of initial diagnosis, up to 50% of esophagogastric cancers present with distant metastatic lesions and are candidates for chemotherapy. Curative surgery in this stage is still an experimental approach. Only a small number of these metastatic patients show an oligometastatic disease with no uniform definition of what oligometastatic means in gastric cancer. Nevertheless, the question remains unanswered as to whether these patients are still candidates for curative concepts. Some studies have attempted to answer this question but have not been adequately designed to address the role of a curative-intended multimodal therapy in this setting. The current FLOT-5 is designed to potentially provide a definitive answer to the question of whether curatively intended surgery plays a role or is a disadvantage in this setting.

Abstract
BackgroundThe present work evaluated how Peking prognostic score (PPS), the new prognostic index determined according to sarcopenia and lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), was a prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer liver metastases (GCLM) who received hepatectomy.MethodsThis work extracted information about patients with GCLM who underwent hepatectomy from June 2012 to May 2018. The PPS of the patients was calculated from sarcopenia status and LCR before surgery, and patients were then divided into three groups based on their PPS. This work also carried out univariate and multivariate analyses for identifying variables that were linked with overall survival (OS) together with recurrence-free survival (RFS) after hepatectomy among three groups according to PPS.ResultsThis work included 108 GCLM cases who received hepatectomy. All cases were classified into 3 groups, i.e., 26 (24.1%), 48 (44.4%), and 34 (31.5%) in groups 0–2, separately. PPS exhibited positive relation with age (p < 0.001), body mass index (BMI; p = 0.012), and liver metastasis number. The relapse rate after hepatectomy in patients with GCLM was 69.4%. Additionally, the remnant liver relapse rates of groups 0–2 were 80.0, 68.7, and 53.5%. Patients in group 0 had significantly increased remnant liver relapse rates when compared with those in groups 0 and 1. PPS was significantly related to relapse patterns (p = 0.003). Relative to group 0, those of the other 2 groups showed dismal OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.98, 7.49 for groups 1 and 2; p < 0.001] along with RFS (HR = 3.65, 5.33 for groups 1 and 2; p < 0.001). As revealed by multivariate analysis, PPS independently predicted OS (p < 0.001) together with RFS (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe PPS could be an easy nutrition-inflammation prognostic scoring system and an independent preoperative predictor of survival for GCLM cases after hepatectomy.

The third lumbar vertebra (L3) level skeletal muscle index (SMI) was analyzed by abdominal CT to determine the sarcopenia before surgery. The thresholds for CT-based sarcopenia of sex-specific L3 SMI were ≤ 34.9 cm2/m2 and ≤ 40.8 cm2/m2 for female and male, separately We determined overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS)by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The cohort enrolled altogether 114 patients with GCLM receiving hepatectomy (average age: 62.6 years, male: 79.8%), and 58 (50.8%) patients had sarcopenia. The mean SMI was 34.2 in patients with sarcopenia compared to 42.7 in patients without sarcopenia (p < 0.001). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates in patients with GCLM after hepatectomy were 78.1, 43.7, and 34.3%, respectively. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS rates in patients were 49.8, 33.6, and 29.3%, respectively. Sarcopenia was related to an advanced age (≥65.0 years) (p = 0.009), reduced BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) (p < 0.001) and number of liver metastases (>1) (p = 0.025). Sarcopenia had a significant associated with the patterns of recurrence (p < 0.001). In addition, patients with sarcopenia had a significant difference in number of liver metastases in comparison with those without sarcopenia (p = 0.025). We discovered from multivariate analysis that sarcopenia independently predicted RFS [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.76; 95% confidence interval (CI)= 1.18–2.35, p = 0.007]. Nevertheless, sarcopenia was not the prognostic factors that independently predicted OS (HR = 1.62; 95% CI = 0.57–2.73; p = 0.330). Conclusions In conclusion, we showed that CT-determined sarcopenia was the facile and effective prognostic factor for RFS inpatients with GCLM after hepatectomy. Patients with sarcopenia are associated with an increased tumor recurrence risk, and thereby customized treatment should be applied.

Abstract
Background: The effect of multidisciplinary team intervention (MDT) on the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (GC) is still controversial. This study aims to analyze the effect of MDTs on the overall survival time of advanced gastric cancer patients. Methods: Patients with advanced GC who underwent surgical treatment between 2007 and 2014 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups; the MDT group received MDT treatment and the non-MDT group received conventional treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the overall survival (OS) of the two groups. The prognostic factors of advanced GC were evaluated by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: 394 patients were included in our study. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the prognosis of advanced GC patients with who underwent MDT intervention was better than those without (3-year OS of 55.6% vs. 46.1%, p = 0.005), Multivariate analysis indicated that MDT intervention could reduce mortality (HR = 0.493, p < 0.001). Conclusions: MDT intervention is an effective measure that improves the survival of patients with advanced GC.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancers account for 22.5% of cancer related deaths worldwide and represent circa 20% of all cancers. In the last decades, we have witnessed a shift from histology-based to molecular-based classifications using genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic data. The molecular based classification revealed new prognostic markers and may aid the therapy selection. Because of the high-costs to perform a molecular classification, in recent years immunohistochemistry-based surrogate classification were developed which permit the stratification of patients, and in parallel multiple groups developed hematoxylin and eosin whole slide image analysis for sub-classifying these entities. Hence, we are witnessing a return to an image-based classification with the purpose to infer hidden information from routine histology images that would permit to detect the patients that respond to specific therapies and would be able to predict their outcome. In this review paper, we will discuss the current histological, molecular, and immunohistochemical classifications of the most common gastrointestinal cancers, gastric adenocarcinoma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma, and will present key aspects for developing a new artificial intelligence aided image-based classification of these malignancies.

Abstract
Background This study aimed at evaluating the effects of surgical treatments-based chemotherapy in the treatment of gastric cancer with liver metastases (GCLM). It has not been established whether Liver-directed treatment (LDT) options such as hepatectomy and gastrectomy plus chemotherapy (HGCT), radiofrequency ablation and gastrectomy plus chemotherapy (RFAG), transarterial chemoembolization and gastrectomy plus chemotherapy (TACEG), gastrectomy plus chemotherapy (GCT) enhance the survival of GCLM patients. Methods We performed systematic literature searches in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library from inception to September 2021. We created a network plot to comprehensively analyze the direct and indirect evidence, based on a frequentist method. A contribution plot was used to determine inconsistencies, a forest plot was used to evaluate therapeutic effects, the publication bias was controlled by funnel plot, while the value of surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRA) was calculated to estimate rank probability. Results A total of 23 retrospective studies were identified, involving 5472 GCLM patients. For OS and 1-, 2-, 3-year survival rate of all trials, meta-analysis of the direct comparisons showed significant better for HGCT treatments compared with GCT or PCT. In the comparison of the 5 treatments for 1-, 2-, 3-year survival rate, HGCT and RFAG were found to be more effective than GCT and PCT, respectively. By OS and 2-, 3-year survival rate analysis, RFAG was identified as the best option, followed by HGCT, TACEG, GCT and PCT. By 1-year survival rate analysis, HGCT and RFAG were identified as the most effective options. Conclusion HGCT and RFAG has remarkable survival benefits for GCLM patients when compared to TACEG, GCT and PCT. HGCT was found to exhibit superior therapeutic effects for GCLM patients for 1-year survival rate while RFAG was found to be a prospective therapeutic alternative for OS and 2-, 3-year survival rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical resection of gastric cancer liver metastases (GCLM) can increase the 5-year survival rate of GCLM patients. However, patients may lose the theoretical feasibility of surgery due to the critical location of liver metastasis in some cases.
CASE SUMMARY A 29-year-old woman had a chief complaint of chronic abdominal pain for 1 year. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations suggested a mass of unknown pathological nature located between the first and second hila and the margin of the lower segment of the right lobe of the liver. The anterior wall of the gastric antrum was unevenly thickened. The diagnosis of (gastric antrum) intramucosal well-differentiated adenocarcinoma was histopathologically confirmed by puncture biopsy with gastroscopy guidance. She underwent radical resection (excision of both gastric tumors and ex vivo liver resection followed by autotransplantation simultaneously) followed by XELOX adjuvant chemotherapy. Without serious postoperative complications, the patient was successfully discharged on the 20th day after the operation. Pathological examination of the excised specimen indicated that gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for primary gastric tumors and R0 resection for liver metastases were achieved. The resected mass was confirmed to be poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma (hepatoid adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation) with liver metastases in segments VIII. No recurrence or metastasis within the liver was found during a 7.5-year follow-up review that began 1 mo after surgery.
CONCLUSION Application of ex vivo liver resection followed by autotransplantation in radical resection for GCLM can help selected patients with intrahepatic metastases located in complex sites obtain a favorable clinical outcome.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with metastatic gastric cancer remains dismal, with palliative treatment as standard of care. However, encouraging results have been reported for surgical resection of liver only metastatic gastric cancer in carefully selected patients. A systematic review of articles published from 2000 onwards was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Twenty-nine studies were included in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Meta-analysis of proportions pointed out 29.1 % 5ySR (I 2 = 39 %). The pooled weighted median of MSTs was 31.1 months. T stage > 2, metastasis greatest dimension ≥ 5 cm, the presence of multiple metastases and bilobar disease resulted among the strongest predictors of mortality. Funnel plots, Egger's tests, and P-curve analyses failed to show significant publication bias. Based on strict selection criteria and robust statistical analyses, our results show that, in very carefully selected patients without extrahepatic disease, surgical resection with curative intent may significantly improve overall survival.
