Objective:Exploring the role and mechanism of CHMP4C in regulating necroptosis during gastric can-cer development and progression.Method:The expression of CHMP4C in pan-cancer was analyzed by bioinformatics methods,and the expression of CHMP4C was detected in human normal gastric epithelial cells and GC cell lines by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Overexpression or knockdown of CHMP4C was performed in GC cell lines,and the effects of CHMP4C on the growth and proliferation of GC cells were detected using CCK-8 and clone formation assays.The CCK-8 experiment and Hoechst/PI double staining experiment were used to detect the changes in GC cell mortality and PI positive cell ratio after treatment with the necroptsis inducer TSZ or inhibitor necrostatin-1(Nec-1).Western blot assay was used to detect the protein and phosphorylation levels of RIPK1,RIPK3,and MLKL in GC cells.Result:CHMP4C was upregulated in GC tissues and cells.The CCK-8 and clone formation experiments showed that overex-pression of CHMP4C significantly improved the proliferation ability and colony formation efficiency of GC cells,while knockdown of CHMP4C significantly weakened GC cells.Moreover,the results of CCK-8 and Hoechst 33342/PI double staining experiments showed that upregulated CHMP4C could inhibit TSZ induced GC cell death;Nec-1 can reverse the decrease in GC cell viability caused by CHMP4C knockdown.Western blot experiment showed that the levels of p-RIPK1,p-RIPK3,and p-MLKL were significantly decreased in overexpressing cells,while they were increased in knockdown cells.After treatment with Nec-1,the expression levels of these three proteins decreased in knockdown cells.Conclusion:CHMP4C may promote GC progression by negatively regulating necroptosis through inhibiting the phosphorylation of the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway,suggesting that it is expected to be a potential target for GC therapy.

Laparoscopic intersphincteric resection(ISR)represents a key technique for achieving maximal sphincter preservation in ultra-low rectal cancer.Based on 400 cases of surgical experience,this study proposes a series of systematic strategies addressing some major technical challenges of ISR.To facilitate precise dissection of the intersphincteric space,a"knife-edge position transanal-priority"approach was adopted,improving exposure and reducing the risk of circumferential margin positivity.To prevent and reduce anastomotic leakage,ISR combined with the modified Bacon(Turnbull-Cutait)delayed anastomosis was introduced as a"stoma-free but safe"alternative.For large anastomotic disruptions,a stoma-therapist-involved management protocol with transanal"U-shaped"repair was implemented to promote healing.Furthermore,a transabdominal levatorplasty was explored to enhance pelvic floor support and improve postoperative continence.Our initial experience suggests that,these strategies contribute to optimizing the balance between oncological radicality and functional preservation,offering a practical and individualized pathway for sphincter-saving surgery in ultra-low rectal cancer.
