Gastric cancer among the world's most common malignant tumor in the fourth, the incidence of the previ-ous decline, but around the world the number of gastric cancer cases occur in China accounted for 42%, ranked the first to east Asia common types of cancer[1] At present,the stomach cancer patients can choose chemical treatment and surgical treatment, but the 5-year survival rate in 50%, cause its one of the leading causes of death are invasion and metastasis of carcinoma tissue [2] Visible, understand the occurrence, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer related regulation and carries on the early prediction and early intervention, and to develop treatment, improve patient out-come is very beneficial. The study found that high mature gastric cancer cells expressing CXCR4, under the action of chemokines SDF-1 promote the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway in gastric cancer cells,so as to promote antiapoptotic effect of gastric cancer cells. In this paper,the high expression of CXCR4 and chemotactic factor CXCL12 signal shaft impact on PI3K/Akt pathway in gastric cancer cells and expression are reviewed.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-195 regulating FOXK1 gene and PI3K/Akt pathway on stomach adenocarcinoma proliferation, invasion and migration ability.Methods:Public database samples were employed to analyze the expression differences and prognostic significance of miR-195 in stomach adenocarcinoma. After overexpression of mir-195-5p in two cell lines, MGC803 and AGS, altered cell proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities were detected by Alamar Blue, Wound healing, and Transwell assays. The potential target genes and binding sites of miR-195 were predicted by the starBase. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of foxk1 and phosphorylation sites in the PI3K/Akt pathway of target genes after overexpression of mir-195-5p. A Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the relationship between mir-195-5p and foxk1. Statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS 22 software and R 4.0.3.Results:Our results showed a significant over-expression of miR-195 in the tumor tissues, compared with the paired normal tissues ( P<0.001) , which could inhibit the proliferation and invasion of stomach carcinoma cells and significantly correlated with survival ( P=0.011) . Moreover, our study indicated that miR-195 depressed the expression of FOXK1 and significantly reduced the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, which had a negative effect on the proliferation and invasion of stomach carcinoma cells. The phosphorylated Akt (s473 site) expression in the PI3K/Akt pathway was significantly decreased after overexpression of miR-195. Conclusion:Overall, our studies clarify the important function of the miR-195 in the diagnosis and therapy of patients with stomach carcinoma and reveal the FOXK1 and PI3K/Akt pathway regulation by the miR-195, which are of important clinical significance in the differential diagnosis.

Objective To explore the influence of interleukin-2 receptor antagonists(IL-2Ra) on the morbidity and prognosis of new onset diabetes after transplantation(NODAT)in liver transplant recipients. Methods Pre-and post-operative clinical data of 879 nondiabetic patients who underwent a liver transplantation between April 2001 and December 2016 were retrospectively studied. All the enrolled patients were divided into IL-2Ra and non-IL-2Ra groups according to the use of IL-2Ra. Transient-NODAT(T-NODAT)and Persistent-NODAT(P-NODAT)were defined according to whether NODAT would be existed continuously. The impacts of IL-2Ra on the cumulative incidence as well as the risk of NODAT and T-NODAT were analyzed through comparison between patients who used IL-2Ra or not. And influence of IL-2Ra on the long-term survival of NODAT patients was further analyzed. Results Among 879 patients,177(32.24%)from the IL-2Ra group(n=549)developed NODAT and 29.38%(n=52)of the NODAT reversed,while 131(39.70%)from the non-IL-2Ra group(n=330)developed NODAT and 26.72%(n=35)of the NODAT reversed. After adjusting for 18 possible confounding factors,the IL-2Ra group had significantly decreased cumulative incidence of NODAT over the non-IL-2Ra group(adjusted P=0.028). COX regression analyses showed that IL-2Ra was a protective factor against NODAT development(HR 0.774;95% CI 0.616-0.973; P=0.028), while the use of IL-2Ra and the reverse of NODAT did not significantly related. In addition, long-term survival of the NODAT patients were far better in the IL-2Ra group(adjusted P=0.001). Conclusion IL-2Ra significantly reduces the risk of NODAT in liver transplant recipients and is beneficial to the long-term survival of NODAT patients.
