CXC Chemokine Ligand 8 (CXCL8) plays an important role in gastric inflammation and in the progression of gastric cancer induced by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The association of CXCL8, CXC Chemokine Receptor 1 (CXCR1), and CXC Chemokine Receptor 2 (CXCR2) polymorphisms with H. pylori infection and gastric cancer progression needs to be investigated in a population within an enigma area consisting of multiple ethnicities, such as Thailand. To analyze the relative risk of H. pylori infection and gastric cancer among Thai gastroduodenal patients, gene polymorphisms in CXCL8 (promoter region -251) and in CXCR1 and CXCR2 (receptors for CXCL8) were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and allele specific-PCR (AS-PCR). We also determined the presence of cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) in Thai patients with H. pylori infection. Correlation between the CXCL8 (-251) polymorphism and CXCL8 gene expression was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR (qRT-PCR). We found a significant association between the T/A and A/A genotypes of CXCL8 (-251) with H. pylori infection. However, no significant correlation was found between the CXCR1 (+2607) and CXCR2 (+1208) gene polymorphisms with H. pylori infection among Thai gastroduodenal subjects. Within the H. pylori-infected group of Thai gastroduodenal patients, no significant differences in cagA were observed. In addition, the A/A genotype of CXCL8 (-251) significantly correlated with the risk of gastric cancer and correlated with higher CXCL8 gene expression levels in Thai gastroduodenal patients. These results suggest that CXCL8 (-251) polymorphisms are associated with H. pylori infection, an increased risk of stronger inflammatory responses, and gastric cancer in Thai gastroduodenal patients.

Differential gene analyses on gastric cancer usually focus on expression change of single genes between tumor and adjacent normal tissues. However, besides changes on single genes, there are also coexpression and expression network module changes during the development of gastric cancer. In this study, we proposed a pipeline to investigate various levels of changes between gastric cancer and adjacent normal tissues, which were used to repurpose potential drugs for treating gastric cancer. Specifically, we performed a series of analyses on 242 gastric cancer samples (33-normal, 209-cancer) downloaded from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA), including data quality control, differential gene analysis, gene coexpression network analysis, module function enrichment analysis, differential coexpression analysis, differential pathway analysis, and screening of potential therapeutic drugs. In the end, we discovered some genes and pathways that are significantly different between cancer and adjacent normal tissues (such as the interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling pathway) and screened perturbed genes by 2703 drugs that have a high overlap with the identified differentially expressed genes. Our pipeline might be useful for understanding cancer pathogenesis as well as gastric cancer treatment.
