Article Abstract

Background: CYRI-B plays key roles in regulating cell motility in nontumor cells. However, the role and function of CYRI-B have rarely been studied in cancer cells, including gastric cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance, biological function and underlying molecular mechanism of CYRI-B in gastric cancer.

Method: CYRI-B protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting (WB). Gastric cancer cells and organoid models were evaluated to explore the correlation of CYRI-B with collagen type I. The function of CYRI-B in proliferation, migration, invasion in gastric cancer was evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Result: CYRI-B protein levels were downregulated in gastric cancer. Low expression of CYRI-B was related to later tumor stage and poorer prognosis. CYRI-B expression was reduced when cells were cultured in collagen type I, which was mediated by collagen receptor DDR1. Knockdown of CYRI-B promoted migration, invasion and EMT in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, knockdown of CYRI-B activated the Rac1-STAT3 pathway.

Conclusion: Our findings showed that CYRI-B plays an important role in the tumor microenvironment, and is associated with malignant characteristics acquired by gastric cancer. This study may provide new targets for future therapeutic interventions for tumor metastasis.

Microbiome dysbiosis in reflux esophagitis has been extensively studied. However, limited research has examined microbiota across different segments of the upper gastrointestinal tract in reflux esophagitis. In this study, we investigated microbial alterations in three esophageal segments (upper, middle, and lower) and the gastric fundus of reflux esophagitis patients and healthy controls.

Background: Barrett's mucosa in the remnant esophagus (BMRE) is often identified after gastric pull-up reconstruction after esophagectomy. This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of BMRE and the factors that affect the development of BMRE.

Methods: The characteristics of BMRE and factors affecting its occurrence were studied in patients with subtotal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction who survived at least 3 years after esophageal cancer surgery and who were evaluated by endoscopy.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in conversion therapy for stage IV gastric cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Cancer Immunol Immunother

September 2025

Department of Gastric Surgery, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou Institute of Medicine (HIM), Hangzhou, 310022, Zhejiang, China.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of combining PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy in conversion therapy for patients with stage IV gastric cancer and to determine the populations most likely to benefit from this regimen.

Methods: Data from patients with stage IV gastric cancer who received conversion therapy with PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy between January 2018 and December 2022 at multiple centers were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent conversion surgery were categorized into a surgery group, while those who did not were placed into a palliative group.

Introduction And Aim: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare neoplasms originating in neuroendocrine cells from the gastric mucosa and submucosa, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and pancreas. Our aim was to describe their histopathologic, endoscopic, and clinical characteristics and the experience with these tumors at a tertiary care hospital center in the Colombian Southwest.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, analytic, observational, and descriptive study included 93 patients diagnosed with GEP-NETs, within the time frame of 2018 and 2022.
