Genetic variation in PSCA is associated with susceptibility to diffuse-type gastric cancer
Gastric cancer is classified into intestinal and diffuse types, the latter including a highly malignant form, linitis plastica. A two-stage genome-wide association study (stage 1: 85,576 SNPs on 188… Expand

A functional single nucleotide polymorphism in mucin 1, at chromosome 1q22, determines susceptibility to diffuse-type gastric cancer.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Two major types of gastric cancer, intestinal and diffuse, develop through distinct mechanisms; the diffuse type is considered to be more influenced by genetic factors, although the… Expand

Expression of Wnt-5a is correlated with aggressiveness of gastric cancer by stimulating cell migration and invasion.
Wnt-5a is a representative ligand that activates a beta-catenin-independent pathway in the Wnt signaling. Although abnormal activation of beta-catenin-dependent pathway is often observed in human… Expand

High mobility group box‐1‐inducible melanoma inhibitory activity is associated with nodal metastasis and lymphangiogenesis in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) is an 11‐kDa secretory protein isolated from malignant melanoma cells that is correlated with invasion and metastasis in various human malignancies. We examined MIA… Expand

Expression of epidermal growth factor receptor in human gastric and colonic carcinomas.
The expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was examined immunohistochemically in a total of 122 gastric and 61 colonic carcinomas, out of which 16 gastric and 8 colonic carcinomas were… Expand

Deficiency of claudin-18 causes paracellular H+ leakage, up-regulation of interleukin-1β, and atrophic gastritis in mice.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although defects in tight junction (TJ) epithelial paracellular barrier function are believed to be a primary cause of inflammation, the mechanisms responsible remain largely… Expand

Frequent replication errors at microsatellite loci in tumors of patients with multiple primary cancers.
Nearly 10% of cancer patients develop a second primary cancer within 10 years after surgical removal of the first tumor. Hence, detection of a genetic risk for developing multiple primary tumors… Expand

Expression of ERBB2 in human gastric carcinomas: relationship between p185ERBB2 expression and the gene amplification.
The expression of p185ERBB2 in a total of 34 human gastric carcinoma tissues as well as in corresponding normal mucosa was examined by Western blotting. More than 70% of both tumor tissues and normal… Expand

Molecular diagnosis of gastric cancer: present and future
Although histopathological diagnosis is extremely useful for the definitive as well as the supportive diagnosis of gastric cancer in clinical practice, it is limited in certain respects. Over the… Expand

Expression of platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF)‐B and PDGF‐receptor β is associated with lymphatic metastasis in human gastric carcinoma
Recent study of murine fibrosarcoma has revealed that platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) plays a direct role in promoting lymphangiogenesis and metastatic spread to lymph nodes. Thus, we… Expand
