e15514 Background: Stomach cancer is a major cause of cancer death in East Asia. The purpose of this study was to find a predictive marker to estimate the prognosis of stomach cancer. Methods: In this study, a total of 34 gastric cancer patients receiving therapy in Tianjin Nankai Hospital were enrolled. Genomic DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, including carcinoma and pericarcinous tissues. Targeted regions of 549 cancer-associated genes were amplified by PCR, barcoded and sequenced using an Illumina Next-Seq 500 platform. Results: 25/34 patients had tumor metastasis. 135 non-silent mutations in 62 genes were detected in 27 tumor samples, while 7 patients’ samples had no mutation detected. CDH1, BRCA2 and SMAD4 gene mutations only occurred among metastasis patients. CDH1, BRCA2 and KRAS gene mutations are associated with a lower overall survival rate. Among them, 5 patients had a CDH1 mutation, including one splicing mutation, three frameshift mutations, one non-frameshift mutation and two non-synonymous mutations. All five patients had tumor metastasis, with the survival time less than 17 months, compared with all patients’ average overall survival of 22 month. Conclusions: Previous studies showed that mutation in CDH1 is linked to gastric cancer (GC) susceptibility and tumor invasion. Our results indicated that the mutation of CDH1 was also associated with the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma (P < .01) and was an independent factor (P < .05).

23 Background: CDH1 germline mutations are found to be associated with the development of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and the early-onset diffuse gastric cancer (EODGC). But the impact of CDH1 gene mutations and large deletions on HDGC and EODGC has not been fully determined in Asians. Although the incidence of gastric cancer is relatively high in China, the detection rate of CDH1 germline mutations in Chinese patients with EODGC is rare compared to that in European patients. Methods: We investigated the mutation status of the CDH1 gene in 57 Chinese EODGC patients younger than 40 years old who met the clinical criteria for HDGC. Polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing was performed, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was used to evaluate the patients with negative sequencing results. Associations between mutation, clinicopathologic, and overall survival data were analyzed by SPSS 19. Results: The germline mutations of CDH1gene were identified in 51 (89.5%) of the 57 EODGC patients. The nonsense mutation in exon 13 (c.2200T>C, p.Ala692*) occurred in fourty-six EODGC patients. The missense mutations were detected in twenty patients (Eighteen in exon 5: c.778G>C, p.Glu218Asp; Two in exon 12: c.2012C>G, p.Leu630Val). No deletion or duplication in any patient. Most of the patients carrying the CDH1 mutation in exon 13 had lymph node metastasis when compared with patients lacking CDH1 mutation (87.2% vs 60.0%) ( P < 0.05 ). EODGC patients, lacking germline CDH1 alterations, showed a longer median overall survival (mOS) than patients carrying CDH1 mutation in exon 13 ( P < 0.05 ). Moreover, the presence of CDH1 mutation in exon 13 was associated with the incidence of neural invasion ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions: This study reveals novel CDH1 mutations in Chinese EODGC patients which had been poorly investigated. The presence of CDH1 mutation in EODGC patients may result in lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis. More research is needed to determine additional genetic targets that trigger EODGC.

AbstractStudies that examined an association between CD8+T and prognosis in gastric cancer are inconsistent, and a distinct population of CXCR5+CD8+T associated with better overall survival has been reported among various malignancies. Here, we show that the abundance of intratumoral CXCR5+CD8+T cells is associated with better overall survival in patients with gastric cancer. Patients with TNM II + III gastric cancer with higher intratumoral CXCR5+CD8+T cell infiltration are more likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Microsatellite-unstable and Epstein–Barr virus positive tumors are enriched with CXCR5+CD8+T cells. Gastric cancer infiltrating CXCR5+CD8+T cells represent a specific subtype of stem-like CD8+T with effector memory feature. Identification of the clinical significance and phenotype of gastric cancer infiltrating CXCR5+CD8+T provides a roadmap for patient stratification and trials of targeted therapies.

Background and Objectives: The prognosis of metastatic or unresectable gastric cancer is dismal, and the benefits of the palliative resection of primary tumors with noncurative intent remain controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of palliative gastrectomy (PG) on overall survival in gastric cancer patients. Materials and Methods: One hundred forty-eight gastric cancer patients who underwent PG or a nonresection (NR) procedure between January 2011 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed to select and analyze clinicopathological factors that affected prognosis. Results: Fifty-five patients underwent primary tumor resection with palliative intent, and 93 underwent NR procedures owing to the presence of metastatic or unresectable disease. The PG group was younger and more female dominant. In the PG group, R1 and R2 resection were performed in two patients (3.6%) and 53 patients (96.4%), respectively. The PG group had a significantly longer median overall survival than the NR group (28.4 vs. 7.7 months, p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses revealed that the overall survival was significantly better after palliative resection (hazard ratio (HR), 0.169; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.088–0.324; p < 0.001) in patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA) scores ≤1 (HR, 0.506; 95% CI, 0.291–0.878; p = 0.015) and those who received postoperative chemotherapy (HR, 0.487; 95% CI, 0.296–0.799; p = 0.004). Among the patients undergoing palliative resection, the presence of <15 positive lymph nodes was the only significant predictor of better overall survival (HR, 0.329; 95% CI, 0.121–0.895; p = 0.030). Conclusions: PG might lead to the prolonged survival of certain patients with incurable gastric cancer, particularly those with less-extensive lymph-node metastasis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and the tumor metastasis leads to poor outcomes of GC patients. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as new regulatory molecules that play a crucial role in tumor metastasis. However, the biological function and underlying mechanism of numerous lncRNAs in GC metastasis remain largely unclear. Here, we report a novel lncRNA, lnc-TLN2-4:1, whose expression is decreased in GC tissue versus matched normal tissue, and its low expression is involved in the lymph node and distant metastases of GC, as well as poor overall survival rates of GC patients. We further found that lnc-TLN2-4:1 inhibits the ability of GC cells to migrate and invade but does not influence GC cell proliferation and confirmed that lnc-TLN2-4:1 is mainly located in the cytoplasm of GC cells. We then found that lnc-TLN2-4:1 increases the mRNA and protein expression of TLN2 in GC cells and there is a positive correlation between the expression of lnc-TLN2-4:1 and TLN2 mRNA in GC tissue. Collectively, we identified a novel lncRNA, lnc-TLN2-4:1, in GC, where lnc-TLN2-4:1 represses cell migration and invasion. The low expression of lnc-TLN2-4:1 is associated with poor overall survival rates of GC patients. These suggest that lnc-TLN2-4:1 may be a tumor suppressor during GC metastasis.

Background: Over the last 10 years the incidence of gastric cancer has declined significantly. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most prevalent malignancies both in Russia and worldwide. Therefore, the problems of early diagnostics, prognosis and individualized treatment choice are still on the agenda. Much attention is paid to the evaluation of molecular biological characteristics of the tumor, as well as to the development of multiparametric prognostic systems for gastric cancer based on its identified characteristics. An important place among potential tumor biological markers belongs to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) involved into all the stages of tumor progression, first of all, into the regulation of invasion and metastasizing.Aim: Comparative quantitative evaluation of some MMP family members (MMP-2, 7, and 9) and one of the tissue MMP inhibitors (TIMP-2) levels in the tumors and adjacent histologically unchanged mucosa in gastric cancer patients, the analysis of their associations with the main clinical and pathological features of the disease and its prognosis.Materials and methods: Sixty six (66) primary gastric cancer patients (32 male and 34 female) aged 24 to 82 years (median, 61 year) were recruited into the study. Twenty two (22) patients were with stage I of the disease, 11 with stage II, 28 with stage III, and 5 with stage IV. The concentrations of the proteins studied were measured in the tumor and unchanged mucosa extracts by standard direct ELISA kits (Quantikine®, R&D Systems, USA).Results: Tumor MMP-2, 7 and 9 levels were significantly increased, compared to those in the adjacent histologically unchanged mucosa, in 80, 70 and 72% of gastric cancer patients, respectively, while the increase of TIMP-2 level found in 61% of the tumors was not statistically significant. Tumor MMP-2 and TIMP-2 content was increasing significantly with higher T index – size and advancement of the primary tumor (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05 respectively). Tumor MMP-2 level was also increasing in parallel with the N index (regional lymph node involvement; p < 0.01); it was significantly higher in the patients with distant metastases than in those without them (p < 0.05). Tumor MMP-9 and MMP-7 concentrations were not significantly associated with the indices of the tumor progression. The patients were followed up for 1 to 85 months (median, 18.3 months). According to the univariate analysis, high (> 32.6 ng/mg protein) MMP-2 and low MMP-7 (< 1.1 ng/mg protein) levels in the gastric cancer tissue represent statistically significant unfavorable prognostic factors for overall survival. Increased TIMP-2 level is associated with a non-significant decrease in the overall survival (p > 0.05), whereas the MMP-9 level was unrelated to the gastric cancer prognosis. Only T index (p = 0.0034) and tumor MMP-7 content (p = 0.026) remained independent prognostic factors in the multivariate regression analysis.Conclusion: The majority of gastric cancer patients demonstrate a significant increase in the expression of three MMP family members, i.e. gelatinases (MMP-2 and 9), and matrilysin (MMP-7), in the tumors, as compared to adjacent histologically unchanged mucosa. Only MMP-2 levels were associated with the disease progression, increasing with higher TNM system indices. High MMP-2 and low MMP-7 content in the gastric cancer tissue are significant unfavorable prognostic factors for the overall survival in the univariate analysis, but only MMP-7 has retained its independent prognostic value in the multivariate assessment.

AbstractAimThis study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and toxicity of common regimens used as perioperative chemotherapy including ECF, DCF, FOLFOX, and FLOT to identify the most effective chemotherapy regimen with less toxicity.Material and MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was based on 152 eligible gastric cancer patients recruited in a tertiary oncology hospital in Isfahan, Iran (2014-2019). All resectable gastric cancer patients who had received one of the four chemotherapy regimens including ECF, DCF, FOLFOX, or FLOT, and followed for at least one year (up to five years) were included. The primary endpoint of this study was Overall Survival (OS), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), Overall Response Rate (ORR), and R0 resection. We also considered toxicity according to CTCAE (v.4.0) criteria as a secondary endpoint. Cox -regression models were used applied to estimate OS and PFS time, controlled for relevant covariates.ResultsOf included patients, 32(21%), 51(33.7%), 37(24.3%), and 32(21%) had received ECF, DCF, FOLFOX and FLOT, respectively. After the median 25 months follow-up, overall survival was higher with the FLOT regimen in comparison with other regimens (hazard ratio [HR] = 0. 052). The median OS of the FLOT regimen was not reachable in Kaplan-Meier analysis and the median OS was 28, 26, and 23 months for DCF, FOLOFX, and ECF regimens, respectively. On the other hand, a median PFS of 25, 17, 15, and 14 months was observed for FLOT, DCF, FOLFOX, and ECF regimens, respectively (Log-rank = 0. 021). FLOT regimen showed 84. 4% ORR which was notably higher than other groups (p-value<0. 01).ConclusionsFor resectable gastric cancer patients, the perioperative FLOT regimen seemed to lead to a significant improvement in patients’ OS and PFS in comparison with ECF, DCF, and FOLFOX regimens. As such, the FLOT regimen could be considered as the optimal option for managing resectable gastric cancer patients.

Purpose. Although randomized trials suggest a survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy (XRT) for gastric adenocarcinoma, its use in patients who undergo an extended lymphadenectomy is less clear. The purpose of this study was to determine if a survival benefit exists in gastric cancer patients who receive adjuvant XRT following resection with extended lymphadenectomy.Methods. The SEER registry was queried for records of patients with resected gastric adenocarcinoma from 1988 to 2007. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to assess independent prognostic factors affecting overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS).Results. Of 15,060 patients identified, 3,208 (21%) received adjuvant XRT. Adjuvant XRT was independently associated with improved OS (HR 0.67, CI 0.64–0.71) and DSS (HR 0.69, CI 0.65–0.73) in stages IB through IV (M0). This OS and DSS benefit persisted regardless of the extent of lymphadenectomy. Furthermore, lymphadenectomy with >25 LN resected was associated with improved OS and DSS compared with <15 LN or 15–25 LN.Conclusion. This population-based study shows a survival benefit of adjuvant XRT following gastrectomy that persists in patients who have an extended lymphadenectomy. Furthermore, removal of >25 LNs results in improved OS and DSS compared with patients who have fewer LNs resected.

Abstract Backgroud Obg-like ATPase 1 (OLA1) is a member of the Obg family of P-loop NTPases and has recently been detected in several human cancer cells. However, its expression type and clinical relevance in gastric cancer remains unclear. Methods In the present study, 2 datasets downloaded from the open Gene Expression Omnibus database were used to evaluate the mRNA level of OLA1 in gastric cancer. Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR further validated the mRNA expression in gastric cancer tissues. Immunohistochemistry was performed on gastric cancer tissue microarray to assess OLA1 protein expression type, prognostic value, biological significance and its association with Snail in 334 patients of gastric cancer. The prognostic value of combination of OLA1 and Snail has been evaluated. Results The results showed that OLA1 mRNA and protein were elevated in gastric cancer tissues. High expression of OLA1 was significantly associated with aggressive features, such as tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P = 0.0146, P = 0.0037, P < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, high levels of OLA1 predicted worse overall survival. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that high expression of OLA1 was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.573; 95% confidence interval, 0.376–0.872; P = 0.009). Additionally, OLA1 expression was positively correlated with Snail, and combination of them revealed improved prognostic accuracy for gastric cancer patients. Conclusions Our results suggested that OLA1 high expression was considered as an independent factor for the prediction of unfavorable prognosis in gastric cancer patients, and we believe that OLA1 could serve as a biomarker of poor prognosis and a novel target in treating gastric cancers.
