Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) is a regulatory factor of intracellular oxygen supersession. The expression or increased activity of HIF-1α is closely related to various human cancers. Previously, IDF-11774 was demonstrated to inhibit HSP70 chaperone activity and suppress the accumulation of HIF-1α. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of IDF-11774 on gastric cancer cell lines. Treatment with IDF-11774 was found to markedly decrease the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the gastric cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, and Jun N-terminal kinase in the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways were markedly increased in a dose-dependent manner, ultimately promoting apoptosis via the induction of cell cycle arrest. Our findings indicate that HIF-1α inhibitors are potent drugs for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Introduction Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms with both clinical and genetic diversity. The clinical applicability of molecular profiling using liquid biopsy for identifying actionable drug targets and prognostic indicators in patients with advanced NETs remains unclear. Methods In this study, we utilized a custom-made 37 genes panel of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 47 patients with advanced NETs.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.
Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

S100 protein family members S100A8 and S100A9 function primarily as a heterodimer complex (S100A8/A9) in vivo. This complex has been implicated in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). Recent studies suggest that these proteins play significant roles in tumor progression, inflammation, and metastasis.

Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation, particularly during mitosis. Recent studies have identified AURKA as an oncogene overexpressed in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms by which AURKA contributes to GC pathogenesis, including its roles in cell proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and cancer stemness.

Helicobacter pylori was first characterized as an obligate bacterial pathogen in 1983. Since then, substantial advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of H. pylori infection, optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and expanding testing and treatment-including in the prevention of gastric malignancies.
