Sulfasalazine,a potent suppressor of gastric cancer proliferation and metastasis by inhibition of xCT: Conventional drug in new use

The aim of this study was to explore the role of sulfasalazine on proliferation and metastasis in gastric cancer by inhibition of xCT. The relationships between clinical characteristics and xCT expression were analysed. An immunohistochemical staining assay and Western blot were performed among gastric cancers and normal gastric tissues. qPCR and Western blot were also used to evaluate the mRNA and protein expression in the normal gastric cell and eight gastric cancer cells, respectively. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were used to evaluate the effect of sulfasalazine on the proliferation and colony formation ability of three gastric cancers. The effect of sulfasalazine on the migration and invasion abilities of three cancer cells was assessed by the Transwell assay. xCT protein is up-regulated in gastric cancer specimens and cells. Three gastric cancer cells with high, medium and low expression of xCT were selected for the following analyses. CCK-8 assays revealed that sulfasalazine could attenuate the proliferation of HGC-27 and AGS. Also, the colony formation assay revealed that sulfasalazine might attenuate the colony formation ability in HGC-27 and AGS cells. Plus, the Transwell assays demonstrated that sulfasalazine might attenuate the migration and invasion abilities in HGC-27 and AGS cells. In conclusion, higher expression of xCT is associated with advanced tumour stage and poor overall survival of gastric cancer. Sulfasalazine can attenuate the proliferation, colony formation, metastasis and invasion of gastric cancer in vitro. Further study is required to validate our findings.     

Salvianolic acid B suppresses EMT and apoptosis to lessen drug resistance through AKT/mTOR in gastric cancer cells

The drug resistance of tumor cells greatly reduces the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs in gastric cancer. Salvianolic acid B (Sal-B) is considered as a chemopreventive agent which suppresses oxidative stress and apoptosis. Therefore, the study aims to clarify the mechanism of Sal-B in drug-resistant gastric cancer cells. CCK8 assay analyzed cell viabilities after GES1, AGS and AGS/DDP cells were respectively treated by Sal-B of different concentration or after AGS/DDP cells were disposed by cisplatin (DDP) in different concentration. The colony formation, ROS generation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and EMT marker proteins were respectively analyzed through formation assay, ROS kits, TUNNEL staining, Wound healing, Transwell assays and Western blot. The results demonstrated that Sal-B acted alone or in synergy with DDP to reduce cell viabilities, initiate ROS generation, promote cell apoptosis, as well as decrease migration, invasion and EMT in AGS and AGS/DDP cells. AKT activator and mTOR activator significantly reversed the above effects of Sal-B. Collectively, Sal-B regulated proliferation, EMT and apoptosis to reduce the resistance to DDP via AKT/mTOR pathway in DDP-resistant gastric cancer cells. Sal-B could be a potential anti-drug resistance agent to chemotherapy in gastric cancer.

Downregulation of microRNA-92b-3p suppresses proliferation,migration, and invasion of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells by targeting Homeobox D10

To investigate the effect and mechanism of microRNA-92b-3p (miR-92b-3p) targeting Homeobox D10 (HOXD10) on proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer, we detected t he expression of miR-92b-3p and HOXD10 in SGC-7901 cells. The effects of miR-92b-3p or HOXD10 on proliferation, migration, invasion, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9 expression in SGC-7901 cells were measured by the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, Transwell assay, and Western blot, respectively. The results showed that miR-92b-3p expression was increased, and HOXD10 expression was decreased in SGC-7901 cells, compared with human normal gastric epithelial cells GES-1. Functional experiments demonstrated that cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and expression of MMP-2/9 in SGC-7901 cells were significantly inhibited by miR-92b-3p silencing and HOXD10 overexpression. Moreover, HOXD10 was a potential target gene of miR-92b-3p as evidenced by the TargetScan software and double luciferase reporter assay. In the rescue experiment, knockdown of HOXD10, accompanied by higher expression of MMP-2/9, could significantly eliminate the inhibitory effects of miR-92b-3p silencing on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In conclusion, miR-92b-3p is highly expressed in gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, and interfering with its expression might inhibit SGC-7901 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via downregulating MMP-2/9 expression and targeting HOXD10.

Elevated PRC1 in gastric carcinoma exerts oncogenic function and is targeted by piperlongumine in a p53‐dependent manner

Gastric carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and the second most frequent cause of cancer‐related death in China. Protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1) is involved in cytokinesis and plays key roles in microtubule organization in eukaryotes. This study was aimed to analyse the expression and to investigate the functional role of PRC1 in gastric tumorigenesis. The expression of PRC1 was evaluated by qRT‐PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The biological function of PRC1 was determined by CCK‐8 proliferation assays, monolayer colony formation, xenografted nude mice and cell invasion assays by shRNA‐mediated knockdown in AGS and HGC27 cells. The regulation of PRC1 expression by piperlongumine was also investigated using dual‐luciferase reporter assay and ChIP‐qPCR analysis. PRC1 was up‐regulated in primary gastric cancers. Overexpression of PRC1 in gastric cancers was associated with poor disease‐specific survival and overall survival. PRC1 knockdown in AGS and HGC27 cell lines suppressed proliferation, reduced monolayer colony formation, inhibited cell invasion and migration ability and induced cell‐cycle arrest and apoptosis. Inhibition of PRC1 also suppressed tumour growth in vivo. We finally confirmed that PRC1 is a novel downstream target of piperlongumine in gastric cancer. Our findings supported the oncogenic role of PRC1 in gastric carcinogenesis. PRC1 might serve as a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for gastric carcinoma.

Gastrin and pentagastrin enhance the tumour proliferation of human stable cultured gastric adenocarcinoma cells.

The effect of gastrin on stimulating tumour proliferation has been evaluated on human pancreas cancer cells in culture and in tumours transplanted to nude mice. The presence of CCK-B/gastrin-like receptor responsible for that effect of gastrin has been proved in colonic (WiDr, HT-29, YAMC) and pancreatic (PANC-1, BON) cell lines. The aim of our study was to examine the stimulating effect of gastrin and pentagastrin on the growth of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line. The human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (AGS, CRL-1739) was purchased from ATCC (Rockville, MA, USA). Gastrin-17 was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Budapest, Hungary), pentagastrin was from Zeneca Limited (Macclasfield, UK). The cells were incubated in DMEM containing 10% FCS on 96-well culturing plate with 10(4) cells/well starting cell number at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2. The proliferation rates were detected: by the measurements of the metabolically active cells with Owen's reagent and the determination of protein content, and by cell counting in a haemocytometer at several incubation times. As a result, we detected similar proliferation rates using gastrin-17 or pentagastrin in the incubation medium. The stimulating effect of gastrin/pentagastrin on cell line proliferation was in correlation with its concentration. Our results proved that pentagastrin is a 10 times less effective stimulator of proliferation of gastric cancer than gastrin-17, and that AGS human adenocarcinoma cell line might be CCK receptor positive.
