AIM:To investigate human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-vAkt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog signaling ***:We analyzed 231 formalin-fixed,paraffinembedded gastric cancer tissue specimens from Japanese patients who had undergone surgical *** patients' age,sex,tumor location,depth of invasion,pathological type,lymph node metastasis,and pathological stage were determined by a review of the medical *** of HER2 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry(IHC) using the HercepTest TM *** criteria for HER2 positivity(0,1+,2+,and 3+) were *** that scored 3+ were considered *** of phospho Akt(pAkt) was also analyzed by *** were considered pAkt-positive when the percentage of positive tumor cells was 10% or ***3K,catalytic,alpha polypeptide(PIK3CA) mutations in exons 1,9 and 20 were analyzed by ***-Barr virus(EBV) infection was analyzed by in situ hybridization targeting EBV-encoded small RNA(EBER) with an EBER-RNA *** instability(MSI) was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction using the mononucleotide markers BAT25 and ***:HER2 expression levels of 0,1+,2+ and 3+ were found in 167(72%),32(14%),12(5%) and 20(8.7%) samples,***2 overexpression(IHC 3+) significantly correlated with intestinal histological type(15/20 vs 98 /205,P = 0.05).PIK3CA mutations were present in 20 cases(8.7%) and significantly correlated with MSI(10/20 vs 9/211,P < 0.01).The mutation frequency was high(21%) in T4 cancers and very low(6%) in T2 *** in exons 1,9 and 20 were detected in 5(2%),9(4%) and 7(3%) cases,*** new types of PIK3CA mutation,R88Q and R108H,were found in *** PIK3CA mutations were heterozygous missense singlebase substitutions,the most common being H1047R(6/20,30%) in *** cancers(8%) were EBV-positive and this positivity significantly correlated with a diffu

AIM:To evaluate the utility of measuring epigenetic alterations in pancreatic and biliary fluids in determining molecular markers for pancreatobiliary ***:DNA was extracted from undiluted pancreatic and biliary *** a surrogate for a genomewide hypomethylation assay,levels of long interspersed nuclear element-1(LINE-1) methylation were analyzed using bisulfite *** island hypermethylation of 10 tumor-associated genes,aryl-hydrocarbon receptor repressor,adenomatous polyposis coli,calcium channel,voltage dependent,T type α1G subunit,insulin-like growth factor 2,O-6-methyl-guanine-DNA methyltransferase,neurogenin 1,CDKN2A,runt-related transcription factor 3(RUNX3),secreted frizzled-related protein 1,and ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1(UCHL1),was analyzed using *** examine the role of CpG methylation and histone deacetylation in the silencing of UCHL1,human gallbladder carcinoma cell lines and pancreatic carcinoma cell lines were treated with 2 or 5 μmol/L 5-AZA-dC for 72 h or 100 nmol/L Trichostatin A for 24 *** the treatment,UCHL1 expression was analyzed by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain ***:Pancreatobiliary cancers exhibited significantly lower LINE-1 methylation levels in pancreatic and biliary fluids than did noncancerous pancreatobiliary disease(58.7% ± 4.3% vs 61.7% ± 2.2%,P = 0.027;53.8% ± 6.6% vs 57.5% ± 1.7%,P = 0.007);however,LINE-1 hypomethylation was more evident in pancreatic cancer tissues than in pancreatic fluids(45.4% ± 5.5% vs 58.7% ± 4.3%,P < 0.001).CpG island hypermethylation of tumor-associated genes was detected at various frequencies,but it was not correlated with LINE-1 *** of the UCHL1 gene was cancer-specific and most frequently detected in pancreatic(67%) or biliary(70%) fluids from patients with pancreatobiliary *** a single marker,hypermethylation of the UCHL1 gene in pancreatic and biliary fluids was most useful for the de
