Melatonin inhibits cell growth and migration,but promotes apoptosis in gastric cancer cell line,SGC7901

Abstract

The pineal hormone, melatonin (MLT), has been shown to have therapeutic effects in patients with gastric cancer; however, the mechanisms for the anti-cancer effects are unknown. We investigated the effects of melatonin on cell proliferation, apoptosis, colony formation and cell migration in the gastric adenocarcinoma cell line, SGC7901, using MTT assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, flow cytometry, western blot, caspase-3 activity assay, soft agar colony formation assay, and scratch-wound assay. Our results showed that melatonin could inhibit cell proliferation, colony formation and migration efficiency, and it promoted apoptosis of SGC7901 cells. Our findings suggest that the anti-cancer effects of melatonin may be due to both inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and reduction of the metastatic potential of tumor cells.     

ERK1/2 inhibition enhances apoptosis induced by JAK2 silencing in human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells

Recent studies suggest JAK2 signaling may be a therapeutic target for treatment of gastric cancer (GC). However, the exact roles of JAK2 in gastric carcinogenesis are not very clear. Here, we have targeted JAK2 to be silenced by shRNA and investigated the biological functions and related mechanisms of JAK2 in GC cell SGC7901. In this study, JAK2 is commonly highly expressed in GC tissues as compared to their adjacent normal tissues (n = 75, p < 0.01). Specific down-regulation of JAK2 suppressed cell proliferation and colony-forming units, induced G2/M arrest in SGC7901 cells, but had no significant effect on cell apoptosis in vitro or tumor growth inhibition in vivo. Interestingly, JAK2 silencing-induced activation of ERK1/2, and inactivation of ERK1/2 using the specific ERK inhibitor PD98059 markedly enhanced JAK2 shRNA-induced cell proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Ultimately, combination of PD98059 and JAK2 shRNA significantly inhibited tumor growth in nude mice. Our results implicate JAK2 silencing-induced cell proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and ERK1/2 inhibition could enhance apoptosis induced by JAK2 silencing in SGC7901 cells.

Requirement of Osteopontin in the migration and protection against Taxol-induced apoptosis via the ATX-LPA axis in SGC7901 cells

Background  

Autotaxin (ATX) possesses lysophospholipase D (lyso PLD) activity, which converts lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) into lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). The ATX-LPA signaling axis has been implicated in angiogenesis, chronic inflammation and tumor progression. Osteopontin (OPN) is an important chemokine involved in the survival, proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells. The focus of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the ATX-LPA axis and OPN.     

Inhibition of PRL-3 gene expression in gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 via microRNA suppressed reduces peritoneal metastasis

High expression of PRL-3, a protein tyrosine phosphatase, is proved to be associated with lymph node metastasis in gastric carcinoma from previous studies. In this paper, we examined the relationship between PRL-3 expression and peritoneal metastasis in gastric carcinoma. We applied the artificial miRNA (pCMV-PRL3miRNA), which is based on the murine miR-155 sequence, to efficiently silence the target gene expression of PRL-3 in SGC7901 gastric cancer cells at both mRNA and protein levels. Then we observed that, in vitro, pCMV-PRL3miRNA significantly depressed the SGC7901 cell invasion and migration independent of cellular proliferation. In vivo, PRL-3 knockdown effectively suppressed the growth of peritoneal metastases and improved the prognosis in nude mice. Therefore, we concluded that artificial miRNA can depress the expression of PRL-3, and that PRL-3 might be a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis.     

Calnexin overexpression sensitizes recombinant CHO cells to apoptosis induced by sodium butyrate treatment

Sodium butyrate (NaBu) can enhance the expression of foreign genes in recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cells, but it can also inhibit cell growth and induce cellular apoptosis. In this study, the potential role of calnexin (Cnx) expression in rCHO cells treated with 5 mM NaBu was investigated for rCHO cells producing tumor necrosis factor receptor FC. To regulate the Cnx expression level, a tetracycline-inducible system was used. Clones with different Cnx expression levels were selected and investigated. With regard to productivity per cell (q_p), NaBu enhanced the q_p by over twofold. Under NaBu treatment, Cnx overexpression further enhanced the q_p by about 1.7-fold. However, under NaBu stress, the cells overexpressing Cnx showed a poorer viability profile with a consistent difference of over 25% in the viability when compared to the Cnx-repressed condition. This drop in the viability was attributed to increased apoptosis seen in these cells as evidenced by enhanced poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and cytochrome C release. Ca²⁺ localization staining and subsequent confocal imaging revealed elevated cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]_c) in the Cnx-overexpressing cells when compared to the Cnx-repressed condition, thus endorsing the increased apoptosis observed in these cells. Taken together, Cnx overexpression not only improved the q_p of cells treated with NaBu, but it also sensitized cells to apoptosis.     

Oligomerization of membrane-bound Bcl-2 is involved in its pore formation induced by tBid

Both pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 are structurally homologous to the pore-forming domain of bacterial toxins. Bax proteins oligomerize in the mitochondrial outer membranes forming pores that release cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Bcl-2 proteins also form pores that, however, are much smaller than the Bax pore. It is unknown whether Bcl-2 forms monomeric or oligomeric pores. Here, we characterized the Bcl-2 pore formation in liposomes using biophysical and biochemical techniques. The results show that the Bcl-2 pore enlarges as the concentration of Bcl-2 increases, suggesting that the pore is formed by Bcl-2 oligomers. As expected from oligomerization-mediated pore-formation, the small pores are formed earlier than the large ones. Bcl-2 oligomers form pores faster than the monomer, indicating that the oligomerization constitutes an intermediate step of the pore formation. A Bcl-2 mutant with higher affinity for oligomerization forms pores faster than wild type Bcl-2. Bcl-2 oligomers were detected in the liposomal membranes under conditions that Bcl-2 forms pores, and the extent of oligomerization was positively correlated with the pore-forming activity. Therefore, Bcl-2 oligomerizes in membranes forming pores, but the extent of oligomerization and the size of the resulting pores are much smaller than that of Bax, supporting the model that Bcl-2 is a defective Bax.
