Cancer drug pan-resistant tumor metastasis (cdp-rtm) is a major source of cancer lethality. Cytocapsular tubes (CCTs) and their networks are physical membrane-enclosed freeway systems for cancer cell dissemination across tissues and organs in vivo. Whether cytocapsular tube superlarge biomembranes function as superdenfence and conduct cdp-rtm is unknown. It is also unknown whether conventional cancer drug development methods, including cancer cell line derived xenograft (CDX) and patient cancer cell derived xenograft (PDX), generate cytocapsular tubes (CCTs). It is also unclear whether xenografts can be created that contain CCTs for efficient cancer drug development. Here, we investigated CCT functions related to cancer drug resistance, CCTs in CDX and PDX and CCT xenograft (CCTX). Using clinical cancer tissues, we discovered that CCTs potently shielded against multiple chemotherapy treatments with diverse conventional cancer drugs. Next, our quantitative analyses show that CCT biomembrane drug barriers significantly increase cancer drug resistance by 6.6-folds to14-folds. We found that conventional CDX and PDX animal models do not generate CCTs in these xenografts. By mimicking in vivo cancer cell environments for cancer patient cancer cell culturing, we have successfully isolated CH-5high/CH-6high subpopulations of patient breast cancer cells and pancreas cancer cells that are propertied with cytocapsular tube generation capacities and engender large quantities of CCTs in mouse xenografts. Biochemical and immunohistochemistry analyses demonstrated that CCTs in these xenografts are similar to those in clinical cancer tissues. In summary, our research has identified that CCTs and networks function as physical superdefence freeway systems conducting conventional cancer drug pan-resistant tumor metastasis, and developed a CCTX platform for highly efficient cancer drug development, which pave avenues for more efficient development of effective and precise cancer drugs for tumor cure at both personal and broad-spectrum levels.

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.

Background: Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) has been recognized as a rare primary gastric tumor characterized by hepatocellular carcinoma-like histology. HAS often causes diagnostic confusion with conventional gastric adenocarcinoma (CGA) due to the difficulty to detect hepatoid differentiation solely based on findings from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Hence, HAS should be distinguished from solid-type CGA based on their different biological behaviors. β-catenin is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is involved in the maintenance of tumor initiating cells, drug resistance, tumor progression, and metastasis. Methods and Results: Given the dearth of HAS cases, systematic examination of the expression of β-catenin in HAS remains under-explored. In this study, 14 cases were subjected to immunostaining with with AFP, β-catenin, glypican3, hepar-1 and CerbB-2. In parallel, the clinicopathological characteristics of these patients were collected. We detected statistically significant difference in the expression of β-catenin (P = 0.000), glypican3 (P = 0.019), and hepar-1 (P = 0.007) between HAS cancer tissues and the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the expression of β-catenin in HAS cancer tissue and adjacent tissue (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.686, P = 0.007). Moreover, in cancer tissues, a significant correlation was observed between the expression of β-catenin and survival time (Spearman correlationcoefficient= - 0.482, P = 0.003). However, we found the expression of β-catenin did not correlate with the degree of tumor differentiation and tumor size, age, gender, serum AFP levels, microinvasion, and metastasis (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings establish β-catenin as a useful marker that can distinguish HAS from CGA and may improve the early diagnosis to guide the appropriate and timely treatment of HAS patients.
