Long noncoding RNA DINO (damage induced noncoding) represses the development of gastric cancer by modulating p21 and Bcl-2 Associated X Protein (Bax) expression

lncRNAs are responsible for a variety of diseases, including gastric cancer (GC). Many recent studies have reported that lncRNAs can serve as crucial regulators of various genes. Nevertheless, the biological function of lncRNA damage induced noncoding (DINO) remained poorly investigated in GC. Therefore, in our present study, the detailed role of DINO was investigated. It was manifested that DINO was significantly downregulated in GC tissues. Then, DINO was modulated by infecting LV-DINO or by LV-shRNA in BGC-823 and MGC-803 cells. Moreover, it was displayed that GC cell proliferation was suppressed by DINO overexpression, whereas silencing DINO increased cell proliferation significantly. For another, it was indicated that DINO dramatically induced apoptotic ratios of BGC-823 and MGC-803 cells, whereas the decrease of DINO depressed GC cell apoptosis. Apart from these, GC cell cycle progression was greatly blocked by LV-DINO. Furthermore, Western blot results displayed that upregulation of DINO elevated p21 expression and Bax expression. Oppositely, inhibition of DINO greatly suppressed p21 and Bax protein expression level. Taken these, DINO might exert a tumor inhibitory role in the progression of GC through modulating p21 and Bax.

Enolase1 overexpression regulates the growth of gastric cancer cells and predicts poor survival

Gastric cancer has become the third most common cancer around the world. In patients with gastric cancer, the 5-year survival rate is still low. However, the mechanism underlying gastric cancer remains largely unknown. As a glycolytic enzyme, enolase 1 (ENO1) is widely expressed in most tissues. The functions of ENO1 have been reported in various types of cancer. Here in this study, we identified that ENO1 promoted the growth of gastric cancer cells through diverse mechanisms. Our immunohistochemical, bioinformatic and Western blot data showed that ENO1 was significantly overexpressed in human gastric cancer cell lines and tissues. The survival analysis revealed that ENO1 overexpression predicted poor survival in the patients suffering gastric cancer. Knockdown of ENO1 expression repressed the rate of proliferation and capacity of colony formation in two human gastric cancer cell lines (MGC-803 and MKN-45). In addition, knockdown of the expression of ENO1 led to the arrest of the cell cycle at the G1 phase and promoted the apoptosis of MKN-45 and MGC-803 cells. The further microarray and bioinformatic analysis revealed that ENO1 regulated the expression of diverse genes, many of which are involved in the progress of cancer. Taken together, our data demonstrated that ENO1 was an oncogene-like factor and might serve as a promising target for the treatment of human gastric cancer.

Variant RONΔ160 of the RON receptor tyrosine kinase promotes the growth and invasion in vitro and in vivo in gastric cancer cell lines

Background

Recepteur d’origine nantais (RON) is a receptor tyrosine kinase whose overexpression has been observed in human gastric cancers. This study aimed to determine whether overexpression of the variant RONΔ160 could induce tumorigenicity of gastric cancer cells in vitro or in vivo, and whether its specific small molecule inhibitor (Compound I) could inhibit the effect of RONΔ160.

Methods

We constructed human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 that was stably transfected with a recombinant plasmid expressing RONΔ160, and the effect of RONΔ160 overexpression and macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) activation on proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of MGC-803 cells were evaluated. Tumor-bearing mice with gastric cancer cells were used to analyze the effects of RONΔ160 overexpression and Compound I on implanted tumor growth.

Results

In vitro, overexpression of RONΔ160 in MGC-803 cells resulted changes to their cell morphology, and promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In addition, overexpression of RONΔ160 increased the proportion of cells in the S phase. The effect of RONΔ160 was significantly enhanced by induction of MSP inducing (p < 0.05). In vivo, RONΔ160 promoted the growth of MGC-803 cells in nude mice, including increased tumor size and weight, and lower tumor incubation period. The Compound I inhibited the tumorigenic abilities of RONΔ160 (p <0.05).

Conclusions

The results indicate that overexpression of the variant RONΔ160 altered the phenotype and tumorigenicity of MGC-803 cells. Its specific small molecule inhibitor could inhibit the effect of RONΔ160. Therefore, the variant RONΔ160 may become a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.     

miRNA-181a在胃癌细胞增殖和迁移中的作用

miRNA与恶性肿瘤患者的诊断和预后密切相关,为了考察miRNA-181a在胃癌细胞增殖和迁移中的作用,本研究检测了miRNA-181a在胃癌组织中的表达,并通过对人胃癌细胞系MGC-803转染miR-181a模拟物或抑制剂来考察miR-181a对细胞迁移和增殖的影响。RT-PCR显示,miRNA-181a在胃癌组织中的表达水平显著高于癌旁组织(p<0.05)。伤口愈合实验和Transwell实验显示,转染miR-181a抑制剂或TGF-β受体2(TGFβR2)过表达的pcDNA3.1质粒均可抑制MGC-803细胞的迁移。EdU实验和CCK-8实验显示,转染miR-181a抑制剂或TGFβR2过表达的pcDNA3.1质粒均可抑制MGC-803细胞的增殖。此外,miR-181a抑制剂处理可使TGFβR2蛋白表达明显升高。然而,miR-181a模拟物或抑制剂处理后TGFβR2mRNA水平没有显著变化。总之,本研究表明高表达的miR-181a通过在转录后抑制TGFβR2蛋白表达来促进胃癌细胞的迁移和增殖。miR-181a有望成为胃癌的潜在治疗靶点。

Comparative proteomics of apoptosis initiation induced by 5-fluorouracil in human gastric cancer

5-Fluorouracil is the first choice chemotherapeutic drug for patients with gastric cancer, but the mechanism that 5-fluorouracil plays the anti-tumor role remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify correlated [corrected] proteins induced by 5-fluorouracil in the apoptosis-initiation of human gastric cancer (MGC-803) cells. The time point of apoptosis-initiation induced by 5-fluorouracil in MGC-803 cells was determinated using 5-fluorouracil-withdrawal. Two-dimensional electrophoreses (2-DE) were employed to compare the differentials of protein expressions of the MGC-803 cells at the apoptosis-initiation phase and those of the MGC-803 cells untreated with 5-fluorouracil. The differential proteins included 14 upregulated proteins and 8 downregulated proteins. They indicated a more-than-doubled alteration. These proteins were digested in gels by trypsin and the mass of generated peptides were measured by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The data obtained from peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) were searched out using the internet available database mascot (http://www.matrixscience.com). The results showed that proteomics analyses have evidenced that many kinds of proteins are involved in the apoptosis initiation of human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. These proteins are related to metabolism, oxidation, cytoskeleton and signal transduction and other aspects of cells. In conclusion, the experiment model of apoptosis-initiation of human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells induced by 5-fluorouracil based on proteomic analysis has been established, giving an impetus to researches of the mechanism of apoptosis in human gastric cancer, and laying a foundation for the selection of potential drug precursors specific for inducing apoptosis-initiation in human gastric cancer.     

Overexpression of E2F-1 inhibits progression of gastric cancer in vitro

E2F-1 plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation and other biological processes in cells. E2F-1 mediates apoptosis and suppresses tumorigenesis in many tissue types, but there are few data available on E2F-1 expression and its relationship to tumor kinetics in gastric cancer. To gain better insight into the involvement of E2F-1 in the biological characteristics of gastric tumors, we investigated the effect of E2F-1 overexpression on the progression of gastric carcinoma cells. A gastric cancer cell line stably overexpressing E2F-1 (MGC-803/E2F-1) was established. The influence of E2F-1 overexpression on in vitro cell growth was assessed by measuring cell survival, colony formation, and cell cycle progression. The results clearly show that overexpression of E2F-1 significantly inhibits cell growth and proliferation, blocking entry into the S-phase of the cell cycle. MGC-803/E2F-1 cells also had a higher apoptotic rate than control cells. In addition, E2F-1 reduced the motility and invasion of gastric cancer cells.     

Effects of silkworm pupa protein hydrolysates on mitochondrial substructure and metabolism in gastric cancer cells

The effects of silkworm pupa protein hydrolysates (SPPHs) on the apoptosis of MGC-803 gastric cancer cells were investigated in this study. The role of mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in SPPHs-dependent inhibition of MGC-803 cell viability was also explored. SPPHs were found to induce apoptosis in MGC-803 cells with an IC₅₀ of 0.30 mg/ml.A series of changes in cellular organelle structural were observed during MGC-803 cell apoptosis that included mitochondrial swelling, vacuolation and rupture. These changes may ultimately impact on metabolic energy supply in MGC-803 cells. The expression of the pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bax, and the activation of cytochrome c (Cyt C), Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were altered following induction of apoptosis by SPPHs in MGC-803 cells. Moreover, the increase in the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 expression is known to play an important role in the activation of the mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic pathway.     

Natriuretic peptide receptor a promotes gastric malignancy through angiogenesis process

Gastric cancer (GC) ranks the third among global cancer-related mortality, especially in East Asia. Angiogenesis plays an important role in promoting tumor progression, and clinical trials have demonstrated that anti-angiogenesis therapy is effective in GC management. Natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA) functions significantly in promoting GC development and progression. Whether NPRA can promote angiogenesis of GC remains unclear. Tumor samples collection and immunohistochemical experiment showed that the expression of NPRA was positively correlated with the expression of CD31 and vessel density. In vivo and in vitro analysis showed that NPRA could promote GC-associated angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. Results of Co-IP/MS showed that NPRA could prevent HIF-1α from being degraded by binding to HIF-1α. Protection of HIF-1α improved VEGF levels and thus promoted angiogenesis. In summary, NPRA protected HIF-1α from proteolysis by binding to HIF-1α, increased the expression of HIF-1α, and promoted GC angiogenesis. This study has discovered a new mechanism for NPRA to promote gastric cancer development and a new regulatory mechanism for HIF-1α.Subject terms: Gastric cancer, Gastric cancer
