In this article, a patient whose persistent hypoglycemia did not improve despite long-term intravenous glucose and high-dose steroid treatment and who was successfully treated with octreotide is described. A 50-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of metastatic HCC was admitted to the emergency department due to symptomatic hypoglycemia. His blood glucose level was found to be 40 mg/dl and he was hospitalized in our clinic for treatment. The patient, who had been on sorafenib treatment for 2 weeks due to HCC, was started on intravenous dextrose for hypoglycemia and steroid, glucagon, and octreotide treatments, respectively. The patient's sorafenib treatment was discontinued and a second-line palliative chemotherapy was initiated. The patient responded dramatically to octreotide treatment and the need for intravenous glucose gradually decreased. Following approximately six weeks after hospitalization, the patient's requirement for intravenous glucose was no longer necessary. HCC and its treatment is a complex process involving the activation or inhibition of various mechanisms, and refractory hypoglycemia may rarely be seen in patients with HCC.

This study examines whether HER2 regulates autophagy in gastric cancer cells via the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, influencing key processes such as cell proliferation and migration. Understanding this relationship could uncover new molecular targets for diagnosis and treatment. Through lentiviral transfection, cell counting kit-8 assays, colony formation, transwell migration, scratch assays, and siRNA, we found that HER2 overexpression suppresses the cGAS-STING pathway, inhibits autophagy, and enhances the migratory ability of gastric cancer cells. In contrast, HER2 knockdown activates the cGAS-STING pathway, promotes autophagy, and reduces cell migration. We further observed that the inhibition of autophagy using chloroquine (CQ) increases the migration ability of HER2-overexpressing cells. Moreover, interfering with STING expression reversed the migration defects caused by HER2 knockdown, underscoring the critical role of the cGAS-STING pathway in HER2-regulated cell migration. We also revealed that high STING expression in gastric cancer is significantly associated with poor prognosis. STING expression was identified as an independent prognostic factor for survival (hazard ratio, 1.942; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-3.54; P = 0.031). These results highlight the importance of HER2-driven regulation of autophagy through the cGAS-STING pathway in gastric cancer progression and its potential as a therapeutic target.</p>","PeriodicalId":7969,"journal":{"name":"Anti-Cancer Drugs","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143045264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
