Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between microRNA expression and progression and prognosis of gastric cancer: a microRNA expression analysis
Tetsuya Ueda,Tetsuya Ueda,Stefano Volinia,Stefano Volinia,Hiroshi Okumura,Hiroshi Okumura,Masayoshi Shimizu,Cristian Taccioli,Simona Rossi,Simona Rossi,Hansjuerg Alder,Chang Gong Liu,Chang Gong Liu,Naohide Oue,Wataru Yasui,Kazuhiro Yoshida,Kazuhiro Yoshida,Hiroki Sasaki,Sachiyo Nomura,Yasuyuki Seto,Michio Kaminishi,George A. Calin,Carlo M. Croce +22 more
TL;DR: The relation between microRNA expression and progression and prognosis of gastric cancer and histological subtypes showed different microRNA signatures: eight microRNAs were upregulated in diffuse-type and four in intestinal-type cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of Wnt-5a is correlated with aggressiveness of gastric cancer by stimulating cell migration and invasion.
Manabu Kurayoshi,Naohide Oue,Hideki Yamamoto,Michiko Kishida,Atsuko Inoue,Toshimasa Asahara,Wataru Yasui,Akira Kikuchi +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that Wnt-5a stimulates cell migration by regulating focal adhesion complexes and is not only a prognostic factor but also a good therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in PSCA is associated with susceptibility to diffuse-type gastric cancer.

TL;DR: It is found that PSCA is expressed in differentiating gastric epithelial cells, has a cell-proliferation inhibition activity in vitro and is frequently silenced in gastric cancer.
Journal Article
Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Human Gastric and Colonic Carcinomas
Wataru Yasui,Hiromichi Sumiyoshi,Jotaro Hata,Takashi Kameda,Atsushi Ochiai,Hisao Ito,Eiichi Tahara +6 more
TL;DR: The expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was examined immunohistochemically in a total of 122 gastric and 61 colonic carcinomas and several cases showed positive immunoreactivity to EGF receptor, which did not differ by histological type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequent amplification of the c-met gene in scirrhous type stomach cancer.
TL;DR: It is suggested that amplification of the c-met gene might participate in carcinogenesis and progression of stomach cancer, especially scirrhous type stomach carcinoma.
