Abstract
ABSTRACT The mental, physical and behavioural changes that follow a 24-hour cycle are defined as circadian rhythms, and this response to light and dark affects most living things, including animals, plants and microbes. Biological clocks are composed of specific molecules (clock genes) that interact with cells throughout the body and are the timing devices that organisms use to regulate circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms have been observed in the human gastrointestinal tract. To this end, basal gastric acid production, epithelial cell proliferation, gastrointestinal motility and appetite regulation vary with the time of day. The abnormal expression of clock genes can alter normal circadian rhythms and subsequently cause a variety of illnesses, including cancers. The aim of this study was to discuss and summarize the relationship between the expression of clock genes and the development and progression of gastric cancer and to explore the possibility of using these genes as biomarkers in gastric cancer prognosis in patients. Abbreviations: RORE: retinoic acid-related orphan receptor response element; CLOCK: circadian locomotor output cycles kaput; BMAL1: brain and muscle ARNT-like protein 1; ARNTL: aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like; PER: period; CRY: cryptochrome; mTOR: mammalian target of rapamycin; VNTR: variable number tandem repeat; cAMP/PKA: cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A pathway
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
