Gastric cancer (GC) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition to environmental factors, genetic factors also play an important role in GC etiology, as demonstrated by the fact that only a small proportion of individuals exposed to the known environmental risk factors develop GC. Molecular studies have provided evidence that GC arises not only from the combined effects of environmental factors and susceptible genetic variants but also from the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that play crucial roles in the process of cellular immortalization and tumorigenesis. This review is intended to focus on the recently described basic aspects that play key roles in the process of gastric carcinogenesis. Genetic variation in the genes DNMT3A, PSCA, VEGF, and XRCC1 has been reported to modify the risk of developing gastric carcinoma. Several genes have been newly associated with gastric carcinogenesis, both through oncogenic activation (MYC, SEMA5A, BCL2L12, RBP2 and BUBR1) and tumor suppressor gene inactivation mechanisms (KLF6, RELN, PTCH1A, CLDN11, and SFRP5). At the level of gastric carcinoma treatment, the HER-2 tyrosine kinase receptor has been demonstrated to be a molecular target of therapy. 相似文献

We selected six tagged single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-17A and IL-17F genes, and evaluated the relationship between the six common SNPs and H. pylori infection, tobacco smoking and subsites of gastric cancer in gastric cancer patients. Genotyping of IL-17A (rs2275913, rs3748067 and rs3819025) and IL-17A (rs763780, rs9382084, and rs12203582) was performed in a 384-well plate format on the MassARRAY® platform. An unconditional multiple logistical regression model was performed to determine the association between IL-17A and IL-17F genetic variations and gastric cancer risk. Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that subjects carrying the rs2275913AA and rs3748067 TT genotypes were 1.70 and 3.45 times more likely to develop gastric cancer. Furthermore, rs2275913 and rs3748067 genetic variants significantly interacted with H. pylori infection on the risk of gastric cancer. The interaction between rs3748067 and rs9382084 genetic variants and tobacco smoking trend was significant. In addition, rs2275913, rs3748067 and rs9382084 genetic variants were only associated with non-cardia gastric cancer. The findings suggest that the rs2275913, rs3748067 and rs9382084 polymorphisms increase the risk of gastric cancer, and they interact with H. pylori infection, tobacco smoking and subsites of gastric cancer. These findings could be helpful in identifying individuals at increased risk for developing gastric cancer. 相似文献

Genetic polymorphisms in genes that codify inflammatory cytokines have been associated with gastric carcinogenesis. This study evaluated polymorphisms IL-1RN VNTR and TNFB+252A/G in a population from Southeast Brazil with regard to the risk of chronic gastritis and gastric cancer and the presence of an association of gastric lesions with risk factors such as gender, age, smoking, drinking and Helicobacter pylori infection. In this case-control study, polymorphism at IL-1RN VNTR was investigated using the allele-specific polymerase chain reaction method, while the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique was used to identify the TNFB+252A/G genotype in 675 Brazilian individuals [229 with chronic gastritis (CG), 200 with gastric cancer (GC) and 246 healthy individuals as controls (C)]. Multiple logistic regression analysis (log-additive, dominant, and recessive models) have not showed association of the genotype frequencies for the SNP TNFB + 252A/G with risk of CG or GC. However, as for IL-1RN VNTR it was observed significant differences in all three analysis models, with higher values of OR in recessive model, both in the GC group (OR = 3.04, 95% CI = 1.41-6.56, p < 0.01) and CG (OR = 2.32, 95% CI = 1.10-4.90, p = 0.02) compared to the C group. In addition, the multiple logistic regression showed also an association with risk factors such as male gender, older age and alcohol intake regarded GC group. So, our results indicated that the IL-1RN*2 allele may increase the risk of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in the Southeast Brazilian population, reinforcing the importance of host genetic factors in the susceptibility to gastric cancer and the participation of cytokines in both the inflammation and the carcinogenic process. 相似文献

The inhibitory effects of tea against carcinogenesis have been attributed to the biological activity of the polyphenol fraction of tea. However, the molecular mechanisms of these effects are not completely understood. Chronic inflammation induced by Helicobacterpylori has been proposed to be a causative pathway in the carcinogenesis of stomach cancer. Therefore, an agent possessing anti-inflammatory properties may be chemopreventative against stomach cancer. In the present study, we have investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of tea catechins. After addition of IL-1beta to MKN45 cells, a gastric cancer cell line, or human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), IL-8 production was detected in supernatants. This IL-8 production was inhibited by catechins. Incubation of HUVECs or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) with IL-1beta or IL-8, respectively, resulted in an increased surface expression of adhesion molecules. Catechins also inhibited this expression of adhesion molecules on HUVECs and PMNs. Of these major effects, the strongest effect of catechins was to reduce expression of the adhesion molecules CD1lb and CD18 on PMNs. These results suggest that tea may inhibit carcinogenesis partly through the anti-inflammatory effects of tea catechins on PMN-dependent gastric mucosal inflammation. 相似文献

Human gastric mucous cells - gastric cancer cell lines mucin gene expression - TNFalpha - RT-PCR immunocytochemistry Little is known on the expression pattern of mucin genes in human gastric cancer cell lines in relation to mucin expression in normal gastric epithelial cells. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare gastric cancer cell lines and non-transformed epithelial cells in their expression of the different mucin genes, in order to use these cells as models for physiological MUC expression in human stomach. Human gastric mucous cell primary cultures which were obtained from surgical specimen by collagenase/pronase treatment and a panel of six human gastric cancer cells were screened for mRNA expression of the mucin genes MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6. Mucin gene expression was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and by Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. Primary cultured human gastric mucous cells retained the stomach-specific pattern of mRNA expression found in gastric mucosal biopsies (MUC1, MUC5AC, MUC6), whereas any gastric cancer cell line exhibited an aberrant mucin gene expression. Mucin gene expression showed large variations in levels and patterns from cell line to cell line, but MUC2 was aberrantly expressed in all cancer cells. Immunocytochemistry confirmed aberrant MUC2 protein expression in cancer cells. The expression of the secretory mucin genes MUC2 and MUC5AC varied in relation to the length of cultivation of the cancer cell lines. Treatment of the gastric cancer cells with TNFalpha resulted in an enhanced mRNA expression of MUC1, MUC2, and MUC5AC (2-fold increase within 3 hours; p <0.05). In contrast, immunocytochemistry disclosed a decrease in MUC2 and MUC5AC staining intensity. Our results indicate that primary cultured human gastric mucous cells provide a physiological in vitro system for investigations of gastric mucin gene regulation. In gastric cancer cells marked changes in the mucin gene expression pattern are found with coexpression of non-gastric type mucins. Gastric mucin gene expression may be regulated by proinflammatory cytokines which could have implications in gastritis. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma (GC) is a distinct subtype with characteristic clinicopathological features. To better characterize its cellular characteristics, 43 cases of EBV-associated GC, 68 cases of EBV-negative GC, and non-neoplastic gastric mucosa in adults and fetuses were examined immunohistochemically. We quantified the expression of the major tight-junction protein claudin (CLDN) -1, -3, -4, -7, and -18 together with gastric mucins (MUC5AC and MUC6), intestinal mucin (MUC2), and CD10. EBV-associated GC showed a high frequency of CLDN18 expression (84%) and a low frequency of CLDN3 expression (5%). This expression profile corresponded to that of normal gastric epithelium in adults and fetuses. Almost half of the EBV-associated GC cases demonstrated gastric mucin expression, whereas the other half lacked mucin or CD10 expression. In contrast, as demonstrated by the expression profiles of CLDN3 and CLDN18, EBV-negative GC comprised a heterogeneous group of four different CLDN phenotypes: gastric, intestinal, mixed, and an undifferentiated type with variable expression patterns of mucins. These results indicate that EBV-associated GC is considerably homogenous with regard to cellular differentiation and that it preserves well the nature of the cells of origin. EBV-associated GC may undergo distinct carcinogenic processes, which differ from those of EBV-negative GC. (J Histochem Cytochem 57:775–785, 2009) 相似文献

Inherited polymorphisms in immuno-modulatory genes may contribute to variations in immune function and genetic susceptibility for complex diseases, including cancer. We report results from a comprehensive study to discover novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and to estimate allelic frequency for both novel and known coding and regulatory region SNPs in genes encoding proteins that have been implicated in the immune response to tumors. We identified 12 novel nucleotide substitution variants and one deletion variant in 17 genes analyzed (TGFBETA;R, BETA;2M, IFNGAMMA;, TNFALPHA;, TNFALPHA;R, LTALPHA;, IL-6, IL-12, IL-2, IL-1ALPHA;, IL-1BETA;, IL-1RN, IL-10, CTLA4, CD40L, FAS and FASL). We determined the frequency of these novel polymorphisms, as well as 17 previously identified polymorphisms, in a control sample of 158 individuals, approximately half of which were Caucasian (n = 74) and half of which were African American (n = 84). Significant differences in allele frequencies were observed between the two racial groups for 13/17 genes tested. These allelic variations maybe associated with alterations in immune function and thus susceptibility to a number of complex disease states such as cancer. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach is associated with the development of gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric adenocarcinomas, but the mechanisms are unknown. MUC1 is aberrantly overexpressed by more than 50% of stomach cancers, but its role in carcinogenesis remains to be defined. The current studies were undertaken to identify the genetic mechanisms regulating H. pylori-dependent MUC1 expression by gastric epithelial cells. Treatment of AGS cells with H. pylori increased MUC1 mRNA and protein levels, and augmented MUC1 gene promoter activity, compared with untreated cells. H. pylori increased binding of STAT3 and MUC1 itself to the MUC1 gene promoter within a region containing a STAT3 binding site, and decreased CpG methylation of the MUC1 promoter proximal to the STAT3 binding site, compared with untreated cells. These results suggest that H. pylori upregulates MUC1 expression in gastric cancer cells through STAT3 and CpG hypomethylation. 相似文献

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is prevalent in tumor tissue and suppresses effective anti-tumor immune responses. However, the source of the increased tumor-infiltrating IL-17 and its contribution to tumor progression in human gastric cancer remain poorly understood. In this study, we enrolled 112 gastric cancer patients, immunofluorescence was used to evaluate the colocalization of CD3, CD4, CD56, CD20, CD68, and mast cell tryptase (MCT) with IL-17. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the distribution of microvessel density (CD34), CD66b+, CD68+, and FoxP3+ cells in different microanatomical areas. Prognostic value was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis and a Cox regression model. The results showed that mast cells, but not T cells or macrophages, were the predominant cell type producing IL-17 in gastric cancer. Significant positive correlations were detected between densities of mast cell-derived IL-17 and microvessels, neutrophils, and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Futhermore, we found that the majority of vascular endothelial cells expressing Interleukin-17 receptor (IL-17R). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that increasing intratumor infiltrated mast cells and IL-17+ cells, as well as MCT+ IL-17+ cells, were significantly associated with worse overall survival. These findings indicated that mast cells were the major source of IL-17 in gastric cancer, and intratumor IL-17 infiltration may have promoted tumor progression by enhancing angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment through the axis of IL-17/IL-17R. IL-17-positive mast cells showed a prognostic factor in gastric cancer, indicating that immunotherapy targeting mast cells might be an effective strategy to control intratumor IL-17 infiltration, and consequently reverse immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, facilitating cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Objective
IL-17A plays an important role in many inflammatory diseases and cancers. We aimed to examine the effect of IL-17A on the invasion of cervical cancer cells and study its related mechanisms.Methods
Wound healing and matrigel transwell assays were used to examine the effect of IL-17A on cervical cancer cell migration and invasion by a panel of cervical cancer cell lines. The levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) were investigated using western blotting. The activity of p38 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signal pathway was detected too.Results
Here, we showed that IL-17A could promote the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. Further molecular analysis showed that IL-17A could up-regulate the expressions and activities of MMP2 and MMP9, and down-regulate the expressions of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. Furthermore, IL-17A also activates p38 signal pathway and increased p50 and p65 nuclear expression. In addition, treatment of cervical cancer cells with the pharmacological p38/NF-κB signal pathway inhibitors, SB203580 and PDTC, potently restored the roles of invasion and upregulation of MMPs induced by IL-17A.Conclusion
IL-17A could promote the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cell via up-regulating MMP2 and MMP9 expression, and down-regulating TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 expression via p38/NF-κB signal pathway. IL-17A may be a potential target to improve the prognosis for patients with cervical cancer. 相似文献18.

Gastric cancer is associated with chronic inflammation and Helicobacter pylori infection. Th17 cells are CD4+ T cells associated with infections and inflammation; but their role and mechanism of induction during carcinogenesis is not understood. Gastric myofibroblasts/fibroblasts (GMF) are abundant class II MHC expressing cells that act as novel antigen presenting cells. Here we have demonstrated the accumulation of Th17 in H. pylori-infected human tissues and in the gastric tumor microenvironment. GMF isolated from human gastric cancer and H. pylori infected tissues co-cultured with CD4+ T cells induced substantially higher levels of Th17 than GMF from normal tissues in an IL-6, TGF-β, and IL-21 dependent manner. Th17 required interaction with class II MHC on GMF for activation and proliferation. These studies suggest that Th17 are induced during both H. pylori infection and gastric cancer in the inflammatory milieu of gastric stroma and may be an important link between inflammation and carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Gastric carcinoma (GC) remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity in East Asia and the histological classification is still controversial, despite considerable understanding of the molecular nature of this disease and its precursor lesions. Mucins play important roles in carcinogenesis or tumor invasion and their aberrant expression are also associated with pathophysiological conditions and clinical outcomes. To investigate if differences with MUC2 expression in GC are associated through changes in promoter methylation and to evaluate the relationship with the histological features of GCs, the expression and methylation status of MUC2 gene was examined in samples from 40 gastric mucosa of GC by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). MUC2 was minimally and focally expressed in welldifferentiated (WD) and moderately-differentiated (MD) GC, while mucinous cell carcinomas (MCC) and signet ring cell carcinomas (SRC) displayed a uniform and strong staining intensity with a diffused cytoplasmic pattern. In addition, the MUC2 hypomethylation were found in 33% of the WD, 0% of the MD, 77% of the MCC, 75% of the MCC/SRC, and 80% of the SRC. Moreover, IHC and MSP analyses showed that MUC2 hypomethylation correlated with its overexpression. Collectively, these results suggest that MUC2 overexpression event in MCC and SRC types of GCs. However, further studies with large numbers of patients will be needed to confirm these findings. 相似文献

Gastric cancer (GC) presents various histological features, though the mechanism underlying its diversity is seldom elucidated. It is mainly classified into well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (tub1), moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (tub2), poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (por), signet-ring cell carcinoma (sig), mucinous adenocarcinoma (muc), and papillary adenocarcinoma (pap). By screening, we found cathepsin E (CTSE) expresses universally in sig-type, occasionally in por-type, and rarely in tub1/tub2-type GC cell lines. In surgically-resected specimens, CTSE was immunostained in 50/51 sig-type (98.0%), 3/10 tub1-type (30.0%), 7/18 tub2-type (38.9%), 15/26 por-type (57.7%), 4/10 pap-type (40.0%), and 0/3 muc-type (0.0%) GC. In endoscopically-resected specimens, 6/7 sig-type (85.7%), 7/52 tub1-type (13.7%), 5/12 tub2-type (41.7%), 2/7 pap-type (28.6%) GC and 0/6 adenoma (0.0%) expressed CTSE. For non-malignant tissues, CTSE is universally expressed in normal fundic, pyloric, and cardiac glands of stomach, but hardly in other digestive organs. In the precancerous intestinal metaplasia of stomach, CTSE is mostly observed in mixed gastric-and-intestinal type and deficient in solely-intestinal type. CTSE expression is positively correlated with gastric marker MUC5AC (p<0.0001) and negatively correlated with intestinal marker MUC2 (p = 0.0019). For sig-type GC, in both tumors and background mucosa, expression of MUC5AC and CTSE is high whereas that of MUC2 is low, indicating that sig-type GC reflects the features of background mucosa. For gastric adenoma and tub1/tub2-type GC, more undifferentiated tumors tend to show higher expression of CTSE with MUC5AC and lower expression of MUC2 in tumors, but they tend to present lower expression of CTSE, MUC5AC and MUC2 in background mucosa. These suggest that more malignant gastric adenocarcinoma with stronger gastric and weaker intestinal properties tend to arise from background mucosa with decreased both gastric and intestinal features. In conclusion, CTSE is a marker of both gastric differentiation and signet-ring cell carcinoma, which should shed light on the mechanism of gastric tumorigenesis. 相似文献
