Abstract Background Studies have shown that inflammation-associated blood cell markers are associated with prognoses in a variety of tumors. However, the prognostic significance of these markers for gastric cancer (GC) is still not very clear. This article aims to explore its value of GC prognostic assessment.Methods From July 2011 to July 2016, 353 GC patients with surgical treatment were enrolled in this retrospective study. Patients’ demographics were analyzed along with clinical and pathologic data. The chi-square test was used to evaluate relationships between the markers and other clinicopathological variables; The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression proportional hazard model were performed to evaluate prognostic factors.Results Univariate analysis indicated T stage, N stage, vascular tumor thrombus, tumor long diameter, Bormann Classification, preoperative MWR (monocyte/leukocyte ratio), preoperative serum CEA levels are prognostic factors for GC. Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative MWR, tumor differentiation, and tumor length were independent prognostic factors in patients with GC. The boundary value of MWR is 0.8.Conclusion Preoperative MWR was convenient, simple marker of gastric cancer, might be useful for the evaluation of prognosis of patients with GC. Comparing with TNM stage, tumor differentiation was a more reliable pathological factor evaluating recurrence.

Abstract Background: Apelin is a recently identified endogenous ligand associated with proliferation and angiogenesis of several cancers. However, only few studies have reported on the functions and the role of apelin in gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the association and the mechanisms underlying Apelin expression and proliferation of GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.Methods: We enrolled 178 postoperative care GC patients to investigate clinicopathological and immunohistochemical factors associated with Apelin expression. The relationship between Survival of patients and apelin expression was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analyses. The expression of apelin mRNA and its proteins in GC tissues and cell lines were analyzed using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot and ELISA. The role and mechanisms underlying regulation of Apelin expression in human GC cells were evaluated through several in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: Apelin was over expressed in human GC cells, relative to adjacent normal tissues. The over expression of apelin was associated with vessel invasion (P <0.01), lymph node metastasis (P <0.01), late-staged tumor (T) (P <0.05), worse pathological type (P <0.05), nerve invasion (P <0.05). In addition, expression of apelin strongly and positively correlated with that of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Over-expression of apelin promoted proliferation and invasion of MGC-803 cell via the ERK/Cyclin D1/MMP-9 signaling pathway. Apelin over-expression also promoted angiogenesis of GC cells, accelerating growth of subcutaneous xenograft of the cancer cells in vivo.Conclusions: Over-expression of apelin promotes proliferation and metastasis of GC cells via the ERK/Cyclin D1/MMP-9 signaling pathway and is associated with adverse events of the cancer. Consequently, apelin is a potential therapeutic target for human GC.

The dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important function in the onset and progression of gastric cancer (GC). In addition, aberrantly expressed miRNAs affect the chemosensitivity of GC cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. Hence, miRNA-based targeted therapy might be applied to treat patients with GC exhibiting chemotherapeutic resistance. In this study, miRNA-623 (miR-623) expression was downregulated in GC tissues and cell lines. Functional analysis showed that the restored miR-623 expression could inhibit the proliferation of GC cells and enhance their chemosensitivity to 5-FU via the cell apoptosis pathway. Cyclin D1 (CCND1) was identified as a direct target gene of miR-623 in GC. The overexpressed CCND1 in GC tissues was negatively correlated with miR-623 level. The recovered CCND1 expression counteracted the effects of miR-623 on GC cell proliferation, chemosensitivity, and 5-FU-induced apoptosis. Thus, our results suggest that miR-623 might function as a tumor suppressor in GC and could be a promising therapeutic target for patients with GC, especially those with chemotherapeutic resistance.

e15114 Background: The deregulation of cyclin, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their inhibitors could have a crucial role in the development of diverse human cancers. Alterations in cell cycle regulators and subsequent deregulation of the cell cycle are frequently involved in tumorigenesis and/or tumor progression. The aim of our study was to detect the abnormal expression of cyclin D1 and p21(WAF1/CIP1)in gastric carcinoma and investigate its clinicopathologic significance. Methods: Proteins of cyclin D1 were detected by immunohistochemistry in 80 cases of advanced gastric carcinoma, and 30 cases of benign gastric diseases (chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, gastric metaplasia, and gastric dysplasia). From each patient formaldehyde–fixed paraffin sections were stained and examined by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies.All tumor cells with distinct nuclear staining were considered positive. Results: Sixty-five patients were male and forty five female. Normal gastric epithelium showed consistently positive immunostain for p21WAF1/CIP1. Loss of p21WAF1/CIP1 expression was noted in 65% of intestinal type adenocarcinoma and in 90% of diffuse type adenocarcinoma. Overexpression of cyclin D1 was detected in 90% of advanced gastric carcinomas. Among the various clinicopathological findings, overexpression of cyclin D1 was associated with lymph-node metastasis (P=0.003) and recurrence (P=0.044). Loss of p21WAF1/CIP1 expression was more frequent in diffuse type cancers (P=0.005) and was correlated with recurrence (P=0.002) and death (P=0.001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that overexpression of cyclin D1 is a frequent finding in gastric cancer and immunohistochemical analysis for cell cycle regulators, might be a useful prognostic indicator in gastric cancer.
