Core Tip	Gastric cancer (GC) is currently thought to be a disease originating in stem cells. We detected expression of stem cell marker Musashi-1 (Msi-1) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in intestinal-type GC and precancerous lesions. Expression of Msi-1 and PCNA in precancerous lesions was significantly higher than in normal mucosa, but lower than in intestinal-type GC. Msi-1 expression in GC tissues was correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumor node metastasis stage. These results suggest that expansion of Msi-1-positive cells is an early event in gastric carcinogenesis and may be involved in invasion and metastasis of GC.
