目的 分析早期胃癌、高级别上皮内瘤变和慢性非萎缩性胃炎组织的mRNA和miRNA表达谱特征,为了解胃癌的发生机制提供线索.方法 运用mRNA和miRNA表达谱芯片技术对19例早期胃癌、18例高级别上皮内瘤变和11例慢性非萎缩性胃炎组织进行分析,寻找差异基因,并通过GO富集分析了解其生物学功能.通过整合分析miRNA及mRNA表达谱芯片数据,构建与胃癌发生相关的miRNA-mRNA表达调控网络.结果 高级别上皮内瘤变与早期胃癌组织mRNA表达谱特征较相似,均与慢性非萎缩性胃炎组存在显著差异.在高级别上皮内瘤变和早期胃癌患者组织中表达上调的基因主要参与炎症、免疫反应.早期胃癌组与慢性非萎缩性胃炎组miRNA表达谱差异显著,与慢性非萎缩性胃炎相比,有24个miRNA在早期胃癌中低表达,其调控的668个mRNA在早期胃癌中高表达,这些mRNA主要生物学功能集中在与炎症、免疫反应及与癌症相关的信号通路上.结论 胃癌变早期已出现基因表达谱改变,免疫、炎症反应是胃癌发生的早期事件,在这一过程中miRNA的表达调控可能起了重要作用.

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are attracting substantial interest as promising noninvasive biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC). Our study aimed to identify circulating miRNAs that are potential noninvasive markers for precancerous lesions and early gastric cancers (EGCs). Material/Methods Plasma specimens were obtained from 58 gastritis subjects, 54 patients with precancerous lesions, and 38 EGC patients for study. Results Significant differences in the plasma expression levels of miR-19a-3p, miR-22-3p, miR-146a-5p, and miR-483-5p (all P<0.05) were observed between EGC patients and gastritis subjects. Multivariable analysis showed that age (OR, 1.054; 95% CI, 1.006–1.104), miR-19a-3p expression (OR, 3.676; 95% CI, 1.914–7.061), and miR-483-5p expression (OR, 1.589; 95% CI, 1.242–2.033) were independently associated with EGCs and precancerous lesions. A combined diagnostic model incorporating these 3 variables for the prediction of EGCs and precancerous lesions was derived. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the model was 0.84; the sensitivity was 87.7% and the specificity was 62.8% at the cutoff value of −0.08. Conclusions Plasma miR-19a-3p and miR-483-5p are promising and powerful noninvasive markers for the early detection of GC. Patients are more willing to undergo noninvasive diagnostic procedures than gastroscopy for cancer screening, economizing limited medical resources.
通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)测定不同阶段胃癌、胃癌前病变患者组织标本和胃癌细胞株中长链非编码RNA尿路上皮癌抗原1(UCA1)的表达水平,并通过体外功能实验观察UCA1对胃癌细胞的作用及其机制。结果发现与慢性非萎缩性胃炎患者组织标本和正常胃黏膜上皮细胞株相比,UCA1在各阶段胃癌、胃癌前病变患者的组织标本和胃癌细胞株中的表达水平均升高。UCA1可能通过影响细胞膜功能、膜表面糖蛋白合成、细胞信号转导等生物学过程促进胃癌细胞的增殖、迁移。
Background: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) could potentially function as diagnostic markers for gastric carcinoma. Nevertheless, the expression profile and biological feature of LncRNAs in early gastric cancer (EGC) remains to be explored. Material/Methods: LncRNA expression microarray analysis was performed on 6 paired EGC tissues. One deregulated LncRNA, LOC389332, was validated using a quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay using independent tissue samples and cell lines. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and wound healing assay were conducted to evaluate its influences on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells. LncRNA expression microarray and gene ontology (GO) analysis were also performed on the LOC389332 knockdown cell line model to explore the molecular feature of LOC389332 in gastric carcinoma. Results: The LncRNA expression profiling showed that 72 LncRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in EGC tissues. The results in the validation phase revealed that LOC389332 was remarkably overexpressed in gastric carcinoma tissues, precancerous lesions, and gastric cancer cells. Functional study showed that knockdown of LOC389332 expression could inhibit cell proliferation and migration. LncRNA expression microarray on the LOC389332 knockdown cell line model revealed that 393 mRNAs were differentially expressed. The GO enrichment analysis indicated that the downregulated genes were mainly associated with cell membrane function, signal transmission process, and cell adhesion process. Conclusions: The LncRNA expression profile between EGC and gastritis tissues was significantly different. LOC389332 was potential non-coding oncogenes in gastric cancer, and it may perform its function through altering cell membrane function, signal transmission, and cell adhesion.
Many basic properties of the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire require clarification, and the changes occurring in the TCR repertoire during carcinogenesis, especially during precancerous stages, remain unclear. This study used deep sequencing analyses to examine 41 gastric tissue samples at different pathological stages, including low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, early gastric cancer and matched adjacent tissues, to define the characteristics of the infiltrating TCRβ repertoire during gastric carcinogenesis. Moreover, to illustrate the relationship between the local molecular phenotype and TCR repertoire of the microenvironment, whole-genome gene expression microarray analysis of the corresponding gastric precancerous lesions and early gastric cancer tissues was conducted. Our results showed that the degree of variation in the TCR repertoire gradually increased during tumourigenesis. Integrative analysis of microarray data and the TCR repertoire variation index using the network-based Clique Percolation Method identified an 11-gene module related to the inflammatory response that can predict the overall survival of gastric cancer (GC) patients. In conclusion, our results revealed the multistage heterogeneity of tissue-infiltrating TCR repertoire during carcinogenesis. We report a novel way for identifying prognostic biomarkers for GC patients and improves our understanding of immune responses during gastric carcinogenesis.
Objective To investigate the histologic diagnostic reliability of endoscopic forceps biopsy( EFB) and endoscopic resection( ER) for gastric intraepithelial neoplasia( GIEN) . Methods A total of 98 patients diagnosed as gastric intraepithelial neoplasia by endoscopic biopsy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2010 to March 2015 were analyzed retrospectively, including 20 cases of low?grade gastric intraepithelial neoplasia ( LGIN ) , 65 cases of high?grade gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) and 13 cases of early gastric cancer(EGC). Diagnostic discrepancy, clinical characteristics and influential factors between endoscopic forceps biopsy and endoscopic resection were analysed. Results Of 20 cases of LGIN on EFB, 12 cases were finally diagnosed with ER as a higher grade neoplasia including 7 cases of HGIN (major histological discrepancy rate 35?0%, 7/20) and 5 cases of EGC(major histological discrepancy rate 25?0%, 5/20) . Of 65 cases of HGIN on EFB, 38 cases were finally diagnosed as EGC after ER (58?5%,38/65), 4 as LGIN(6?2%,4/65). Thirteen EGC patients diagnosed with EFB had the same diagnosis with ER. The overall histological diagnostic discrepancy rate between EFB and ER specimens was 55?1%( 54/98) among the enrolled patients. The size more than 2 cm in diameter and the congestive surface were associated with the histological discrepancy between EFB and ER specimens ( P < 0?05 ) . Conclusion The reliability of EFB for the definitive diagnosis of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia is not high as ER, which is not only the main treatment but also a precise histological method for diagnosis.
