Article Abstract
Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) is histologically classified into intestinal type and diffuse type, and diffuse type cancer can be further subdivided into poorly differentiated carcinoma (PDC) and signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Recent evidence suggests that early SRCC is an initial, differentiated form of diffuse GC that may evolve into PDC. This study aimed at identifying the molecular features of epigenetic methylation changes in histologic differentiation status of GC.
Methods: Included in this study are 149 samples of paraffin-embedded tissues and 115 fresh endoscopically biopsied tissues. Multiple paraffin tissues involving normal (n=22), dysplasias (GDs, n=39), differentiated cancers (DCs, n=35), PDCs (n=33) and SRCCs (n=20) were included as an experimental group. For the validation group, endoscopically biopsied tissues of DCs (n=50), PDCs (n=31), and SRCs (n=34) were analyzed. DNAs, isolated from each group were analyzed to determine the methylation status of 6 genes (GDNF, RORA, MINT25, KLF7, CDH1, LINE-1) using pyrosequencing.
Results: LINE-1 was hypomethylated in GCs compared to normal and GD. GDNF, RORA and MINT25 were more hypermethylated in intestinal type GCs than those of diffuse type GCs, whereas CDH1 showed opposite patterns of methylation. Among diffuse type GCs, SRCCs showed lower level of methylation for GDNF, RORA, MINT25 and KLF7, and higher level for CDH1 compared to PDCs.
Conclusions: In conclusion, intestinal type of GCs shows different epigenetic methylation profiles compared to the diffuse one. Moreover, SRCCs have different methylation profiles compared with PDCs, suggesting a unique molecular pathway in the gastric carcinogenesis.

Achieving high capacitance while maintaining rapid charge transport and structural stability remains a major challenge in the design of battery-type supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, a molecularly engineered strategy is presented for constructing hierarchical hybrid electrodes by integrating petal-like NiCu-LDH nanosheets onto 3D HBC-x (x = H, F, OMe)-functionalized CNT paper via a one-step hydrothermal process. The incorporation of HBC effectively mitigates CNT agglomeration and constructs an interconnected conductive framework that enhances charge transport, shortens ion diffusion paths, and reduces internal resistance.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance and progressive decline in pancreatic beta cell function. It is a public health problem of great magnitude that has been increasing globally over the last 4 decades. The latest research has found that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), as an important dietary risk factor, are closely related to the occurrence and development of T2DM.

For optoelectronic devices based on lead-halide perovskites and other semiconductors, a comprehensive understanding of the electric field influences on the carrier transport characteristics is critical to the optimization of their practical performances. To fulfill this challenging goal, here we have employed photoluminescence spatial image and transient absorption microscopy measurements on an individual CsPbBr microplate biased at external voltages in an Au/CsPbBr/Au device. At the subpicosecond time scale, some photogenerated excitons are dissociated into free electrons and holes that drift toward the electrodes to leave behind unfilled defect sites, which are capable of scattering the residual excitons to yield a reduced diffusion coefficient.

Alterations in the structure of the Golgi apparatus play a pivotal role in cancer progression and invasion. A better understanding of how Golgi morphology regulates the metastatic potential of cancer cells could help identify potential treatment strategies. In this study, we investigated how specific structural variations in the Golgi, particularly fragmentation and condensation, influence the malignancy of gastric cancer using human cell lines, xenograft mouse models, and human patient tissue samples.
