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.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly originates in the pleura but can also occur at extrapleural sites, including the abdominal cavity. Among these, primary SFT of the stomach is exceptionally rare. Due to overlapping clinical, endoscopic, and radiologic characteristics, distinguishing SFT from gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) can be particularly challenging.

Brucine Inhibits Gastric Cancer via Activation of Ferroptosis Through Regulating the NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

J Biochem Mol Toxicol

Department of Pharmacy, the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410011, PR China.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality globally, often presenting with insidious symptoms that lead to late-stage diagnoses, underscoring the critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. One such avenue is the exploration of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death implicated in various pathological conditions and malignancies. In this study, we demonstrate that brucine, an alkaloid derived from Strychnos nux-vomica, exerts significant antitumor effects on GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Reviewing the Developing Significance of the Serine Protease PRSS23.

Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)

August 2025

Institute of Genomic Medicine Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, 21589 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The serine protease 23 (PRSS23) is a highly conserved member of trypsin-like serine proteases, which are associated with numerous essential processes, including digestion, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, development, fertilization, apoptosis, and immunity. Original reports on PRSS23 unfolded not earlier than 2006 when a molecular biology study characterized and described PRSS23 as an ovarian protease. Then, in 2012, another important study was published linking PRSS23 with proliferation of breast cancer cells by an estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-dependent transcriptional activation of the serine protease.

Objectives: To study the impact of SURF4 expression level on long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) and biological behaviors of GC cells.

Methods: SURF4 expression level in GC and its association with long-term patient prognosis were analyzed using publicly available databases and in 155 GC patients with low and high SURF4 expressions detected immunohistochemically. The Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze independent prognostic predictors of GC and the 5-year survival rate of the patients with different SURF4 expression levels.
