    Abstract Like most solid tumours, the microenvironment of epithelial-derived gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) consists of a variety of stromal cell types, including fibroblasts, and neuronal, endothelial and immune cells. In this article, we review the role of the immune microenvironment in the progression of chronic inflammation to GAC, primarily the immune microenvironment driven by the gram-negative bacterial species Helicobacter pylori. The infection-driven nature of most GACs has renewed awareness of the immune microenvironment and its effect on tumour development and progression. About 75-90% of GACs are associated with prior H. pylori infection and 5-10% with Epstein-Barr virus infection. Although 50% of the world's population is infected with H. pylori, only 1-3% will progress to GAC, with progression the result of a combination of the H. pylori strain, host susceptibility and composition of the chronic inflammatory response. Other environmental risk factors include exposure to a high-salt diet and nitrates. Genetically, chromosome instability occurs in ~50% of GACs and 21% of GACs are microsatellite instability-high tumours. Here, we review the timeline and pathogenesis of the events triggered by H. pylori that can create an immunosuppressive microenvironment by modulating the host's innate and adaptive immune responses, and subsequently favour GAC development.

    Abstract The Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia I (MEN1) locus encodes the protein MENIN, which functions as a tumor suppressor protein in neuroendocrine tissues. Gastrinomas are neuroendocrine neoplasms that overproduce the hormone gastrin and can arise sporadically or as part of the MEN1 syndrome, in which mutations in the MEN1 gene lead to loss or inactivation of MENIN protein. Gastrin is a peptide hormone that is primarily synthesized in the gastric antrum and stimulates the secretion of histamine from enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells and subsequently acid from parietal cells in the gastric corpus. In addition, gastrin exerts a mitogenic function primarily on ECL cells and progenitor cells in the gastric isthmus. Current studies seek to understand how MEN1 mutations generate a mutant MENIN protein that abrogates its tumor suppressor function. Mutations in the MEN1 gene are broadly distributed throughout its nine protein-coding exons, making it difficult to correlate protein structure with its function. Although disruption of the Men1 locus in mice causes functional neuroendocrine tumors in the pituitary and pancreas, gastrinomas do not develop in these transgenic animal models. Prior studies of human gastrinomas suggest that tissue-specific microenvironmental cues in the submucosal foregut may contribute to tumorigenesis by reprogramming of epithelial cells toward the neuroendocrine phenotype. Accordingly, recent studies suggest that neural crest-derived cells are also sensitive to reprogramming when MEN1 is deleted or mutated. Thus, the goal of this report is to review our current understanding of how MENIN modulates gastrin gene expression while highlighting its role in the prevention/suppression of neuroendocrine cell transformation.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal cancers represent one of the more challenging cancers to treat. Current strategies to cure and control gastrointestinal (GI) cancers like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy have met with limited success, and research has turned towards further characterizing the tumor microenvironment to develop novel therapeutics. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have emerged as crucial drivers of pathogenesis and progression within the tumor microenvironment in GI malignancies. Many MDSCs clinical targets have been defined in preclinical models, that potentially play an integral role in blocking recruitment and expansion, promoting MDSC differentiation into mature myeloid cells, depleting existing MDSCs, altering MDSC metabolic pathways, and directly inhibiting MDSC function. This review article analyzes the role of MDSCs in GI cancers as viable therapeutic targets for gastrointestinal malignancies and reviews the existing clinical trial landscape of recently completed and ongoing clinical studies testing novel therapeutics in GI cancers.

    Abstract Introduction: MDSCs express SCHLAFEN 4 (SLFN4) in
    Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on immune cells sorted from PBMCs and stomachs prepared from uninfected and 6-month
    Results: Slfn4
    Conclusion: Taken together, SLFN4 regulates the activity of the GTPase pathway in MDSCs and precludes these cells from succumbing to the massive ROS generation when they acquire MDSC function.
