Abstract Background According to the Cancer Genome Atlas, gastric cancers involve 30% BRD9 changes. Studying the signaling net controlled by BRD9 is important and provides useful information for the treatment of patients with gastric cancer and BRD9 alteration. Objective We performed this study to find the signaling pathways controlled by BRD9 in gastric cancer cells. Methods MGC-803 and AGS cells were selected as BRD9 overexpression and normal expression models, respectively, and added with BRD9 inhibitors BI9564 and BI7273, respectively. RNA-seq and limma R language were used to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and heatmap R language was employed for cluster analysis. Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) was applied to identify the gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichments, and STRING database was utilized to construct the protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks. Analysis was performed through Cytoscape software to determine the possible signaling pathway and target genes. Results Group MGC-803: 1204 and 1338 DEGs were found in MGC-803 cells added with BI9564 and BI7273, respectively, and 425 DEGs were found in the intersection of these two sets. AGS group: 974 and 1006 DEGs were found in AGS cells added with BI9564 and BI7273, respectively, and 382 DEGs were found in the intersection of these two sets. The DEG number in the intersection of groups MGC-803 and AGS was only 12, and only 3 of which showed the same regulation direction. Hence, these two types of gastric cancers are greatly altered in the signaling network. GO enrichment and KEGG signaling pathway analyses showed that in group MGC-803, BRD9 mainly controls cell adhesion molecule (CAM) pathway, and genes SPP1 and GNAO1 may play important an important role in the BRD9 controlling network. In group AGS, BRD9 mainly controls protein digestion and absorption pathway, and genes AR and GNGT2 have an important function in the BRD9 controlling network. Conclusion Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses were conducted to screen the DEGs and signaling pathways controlled by BRD9 in different gastric cancer cells. The findings provide a theoretical basis in curing patients with clinical gastric cancer.

5-Florouracil (5-FU) is the basic agent used in the treatment of gastric cancer. Capecitabine, a prodrug of 5-FU, displays increased antitumor efficacy compared with 5-FU in the clinic.5′-Deoxy-5-fluorouracil (5′-DFUR), the metabolite of capecitabine, is converted to 5-FU by the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which is present at high concentrations in human tumors. In this study, we investigated the effect of interferon-α(IFN-α) on the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to treatment with5′-DFUR and its relationship with TP expression. Preincubation of gastric cancer cells with IFN-αenhanced5′-DFUR-induced apoptosis via IFN-α-mediated upregulation of TP. The depletion of TP with small interfering RNA (siRNA) obviously inhibited IFN-α-induced upregulation of TP expression and thus prevented apoptosis induced by IFN-αand5′-DFUR. Treatment with IFN-αand combined IFN-αand5′-DFUR treatment were also associated with concomitant activation of ERK signaling. Treatment with the ERK inhibitor PD98059 or depletion of ERK with siRNA partially reversed IFN-α-induced upregulation of TP expression, thus partially preventing apoptosis induced by IFN-αand5′-DFUR. Taken together, our study shows that IFN-αenhanced5′-DFUR-induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells by upregulation of TP expression, which is partially regulated by activation of ERK signaling.
