3 Background: By creating mice deficient in E-cadherin, Smad4, and p53, we evaluated whether and how Cdh1 heterozygosity may accelerate the development and progression of gastric cancer, in combination with loss of Smad4 and p53. Methods: Compound conditional knockout mice of Smad4, p53, and E-cadherin were mated with Pdx-1-Cre transgenic mice. Offsprings were monitored for the development of gastric adenocarcinomas. Results: Gastric adenocarcinomas spontaneously arose in Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/+ mice and recapitulated human diffuse type gastric cancers in histopathology. Gastric adenocarcinoma was more frequent in Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/+ mice than in Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F mice. When compared to Pdx-1-Cre;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/F mice, Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/+ mice developed gastric adenocarcinomas more rapidly, suggesting that Smad4 and E-cadherin cooperate to constrain the development of gastric adenocarcinomas. Lung metastases were identified in three Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/+ mice, but not in the other genotypes. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), characterized by increased vimentin expression, was identified at the invasive tumor front of gastric adenocarcinomas arising in Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/+ mice. This phenotype was less prominent in mice with intact E-cadherin or Smad4, indicating that the suppression of EMT by E-cadherin or Smad4 may reduce metastatic signaling pathways in Pdx-1-Cre;Smad4F/F;Trp53F/F;Cdh1F/+ mice. Conclusions: Loss of E-cadherin and Smad4 cooperate with p53 loss to promote the development and metastatic progression of gastric adenocarcinomas, with similarities to human diffuse type gastric cancer. Thus, our novel genetically-engineered mouse models reveal the importance of EMT in the metastatic progression of gastric cancers, providing a unique model to test agents targeting the metastatic progression in gastric cancers.

The activities and distributions of AKPase ,ACPase,G6Pase,TPPase and COase in human normal gastric mucosa and gastric cancer tissues were studied histochemically at light microscopic level. These enzymes are the marker enzymes of cell membrane lysosome endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and mitochondrion objectively. On the basis of the research we set up a special ultrastructural cytochemical technique and first researched into gastric cancer domesticly. Ultrastructural cytochemistry is also called electron microscopic cytochemistry. This new technique possesses both the sensitivity of cytochemical reaction andi the high resolution of electron microscope. It is characterized by direct observation,exact localization and the combination morphology with function.The distributions of AKPase,ACPase,G6Pase,TPPase and COase in 14 cases of gastric cancer and 1 case of gastric Denign lesion were studied ultrastructurally. The results showed: 1. normal gastric epithelium had no AKPase reaction. The reaction of ACPase,G6Pase,TPPase and Coase were found in the corresponding organella, which were consistent with their function.
