Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Wnt2 Protein
A proto-oncogene protein and member of the Wnt family of proteins. It is frequently up-regulated in human GASTRIC CANCER and is a tumor marker (TUMOR MARKERS, BIOLOGICAL) of gastric and COLORECTAL CANCER.
Gastrin-secreting Cells
Endocrine cells which secrete GASTRIN, a peptide that induces GASTRIC ACID secretion. They are found predominantly in the GASTRIC GLANDS of PYLORIC ANTRUM in the STOMACH, but can also be found in the DUODENUM, nervous and other tissues.
Gastric Stump
That portion of the stomach remaining after gastric surgery, usually gastrectomy or gastroenterostomy for cancer of the stomach or peptic ulcer. It is a common site of cancer referred to as stump cancer or carcinoma of the gastric stump.
Parietal Cells, Gastric
Rounded or pyramidal cells of the GASTRIC GLANDS. They secrete HYDROCHLORIC ACID and produce gastric intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein that binds VITAMIN B12.
Enterochromaffin-like Cells
Neuroendocrine cells in the glands of the GASTRIC MUCOSA. They produce HISTAMINE and peptides such as CHROMOGRANINS. ECL cells respond to GASTRIN by releasing histamine which acts as a paracrine stimulator of the release of HYDROCHLORIC ACID from the GASTRIC PARIETAL CELLS.

Upregulation of periostin prevents P53-mediated apoptosis in SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells.
Periostin is frequently upregulated in human cancers including gastric cancer and implicated in cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This study was undertaken to...
Apoptosis initiation of β-ionone in SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cancer cells via a PI3K-AKT pathway.
β-ionone has been shown to hold potent anti-proliferative and apoptosis induction properties in vitro and in vivo. To investigate the effects of β-ionone on apoptosis initiation and its possible mec...
Evodiamine-induced apoptosis has been shown to have anticancer activity by eradication of some carcinoma cell lines. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of evodiamine on the viability of h...
A Novel Compound, L34, Induced Apoptosis in Human Gastric Cancer Cells.
Selectively apoptosis-targeting compounds in gastrointestinal cancers attract broad interest. Here, we investigated a synthetic sulfonamide, 4-bromo-N-(5-ethyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-8-yl)benzenesulfon...
