Splicing variation enhances proteome diversity and modulates cancer-associated proteins. Thus, the identification of alternative splice forms is significant for discovery of new cancer-related biomarkers. However, relatively few screening approaches of alternative splicing via proteomics have been reported. In the present study, we describe a combined analysis with proteome and transcriptome to simultaneously identify cancer-related splicing variants and splicing variant-derived protein fragments that are differentially expressed in a highly metastatic gastric cancer cell line MKN45P versus its parental cell line MKN45. We found three potential alternative-spliced genes using MS-based shotgun method and two different microarray platforms. Among them, aldolase C, fructose-bisphosphate (ALDOC) was predicted to have novel alternative splice forms. We successfully identified and validated novel splice forms of ALDOC gene by RT-PCR and DNA sequencing analyses, the expression level of which were higher in MKN45P than in MKN45. Furthermore, the protein fragment derived from the validated splicing variant was identified using custom-built data set including sequences of ALDOC variants in MS/MS analysis. Our combined analysis will be a promising technique for screening of cancer-related splicing variants and their protein isoforms.

We report the first case of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) in a patient with cancer-associated myositis (CAM) that emerged along with the recurrence of the cancer. A 60-year-old woman, with a history of partial gastrectomy for gastric cancer 11 years ago, presented with exertional dyspnea with anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive myositis. Surgical lung biopsy showed NSIP with metastatic gastric cancer. Accordingly, her condition was diagnosed as CAM with cancer recurrence. In patients with a history of cancer, development of myositis may indicate cancer recurrence; therefore, careful observation would be necessary.

Gastric cancer remains the most commonly-occurring cancer and the third most frequent cause of cancer-associated mortality in Japan. Solitary pulmonary metastasis of gastric cancer is rare and the outcome of pulmonary metastasectomy is still unclear. Herein we report the impact of pulmonary resection in patients with metastasis from gastric cancer. The present study retrospectively reviewed the preoperative data and clinical courses of 10 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for metastasis from gastric cancer at our institution between July 1986 and December 2017. The data on the outcomes, including morbidity, mortality and survival, were obtained from the patient records. All patients were followed-up from the time of pulmonary resection until mortality or referral to another hospital. The statistical analyses were performed using EZR (Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan), which is a graphical user interface for the R software program (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The study population included 7 male patients and 3 female patients. A total of 5 patients underwent total gastrectomy, and 5 underwent distal gastrectomy. The median disease-free interval after initial gastric resection was 34.5 months. Five patients received adjuvant chemotherapy, of the 10 thoracotomies, 5 were lobectomy, 3 were wedge resection and 2 were segmentectomy. The median overall survival following pulmonary metastasectomy was 59 months and the 5-year survival rate was 40.5%. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that pulmonary resection may be an effective therapeutic option for metastatic gastric cancer when a patient has a solitary metastatic lesion.
