Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the role of nuclear receptor coactivator 2 in cell proliferation and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells and to explore its possible mechanisms. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine NCOA2 gene expression in gastric cancer. Western blotting was used to detect Wnt signal pathways–related protein expression. Colony formation assays, Cell Counting Kit-8 assays, and transwell assays were used to determine cell proliferation, metastasis, and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells. A flow cytometric apoptosis tests determine gastric cancer cell apoptosis ability after inhibition of the expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 2. Subcutaneous mouse models were used to determine the gastric cancer growth and peritoneal metastasis differences after inhibition the expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 2. Results: The expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 2 in gastric cancer cells is high ( P < .01), including lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and gender differences in nuclear receptor coactivator 2 expression were statistically significant ( P < .01). Short interfering nuclear receptor coactivator 2 could inhibit the proliferation and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells. Short interfering nuclear receptor coactivator 2 promotes the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. Animal experiments showed that short interfering nuclear receptor coactivator 2 could inhibit the growth and invasion of gastric cancer-transplantable tumors. Knockdown of the expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 2 inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the gastric cancer cells. Conclusions: Knockdown of the expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 2 can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of human gastric cancer in vitro and in vivo. The underlying mechanism of NOCA2 affects the Wnt signaling pathway.

BackgroundThe human protection of telomeres 1 (hPOT1) protein, a single-strand telomeric DNA binding protein, plays an important role in telomere protection and telomere length regulation. However, its effect on invasion of gastric cancer remains unclear.AimsTo explore the role of hPOT1 in the proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells.MethodsThe gastric expression of hPOT1 was examined in normal gastric mucosa (n=25), intestinal metaplasia (n=20), gastric dysplasia (n=20) and gastric cancer (n=150) by immunohistochemistry. The mean optical density (MOD) of the immunostaining was determined by semi-quantitative image analysis. The role of hPOT1 in the cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of gastric cancer 7901 cells was determined by means of the RNA interference (RNAi) of hPOT1 mRNA. The effects of hPOT1 RNAi on the expression of hPinX1 and hTERT were detected with western blotting.ResultsThe hPOT1 MOD was progressively increased from the normal mucosa to intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and gastric cancer. An increased hPOT1 expression significantly correlated with tumour serosal invasion, node metastasis and advanced stage. Transfection of hPOT1 siRNA into SGC-7901 cells led to a decrease in cell proliferation, colony formation and invasion, and also an increase of apoptosis. An up-regulation of hPinX1 and down-regulation of hTERT were found in gastric cancer cells with hPOT1 siRNA.ConclusionsIncreased hPOT1 expression is associated with an advanced tumour stage. hPOT1 RNAi inhibits proliferation and invasion, and induces apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. The effects of hPOT1 RNAi seem to be functionally linked to up-regulation of PinX1 and down-regulation of hTERT.

Abstract Background Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers and has been verified as an oncogene. However, the underlying mechanism of UCA1 in the development of gastric cancer is not fully understood. In the present study, we aimed to identify how UCA1 promotes gastric cancer development. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data were used to analyze UCA1 and myosin VI (MYO6) expression in gastric cancer. Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) were performed to test the expression level of the UCA1/miR-145/MYO6 axis in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues. The roles of the UCA1/miR-145/MYO6 axis in gastric cancer in vitro and in vivo were investigated by CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, siRNAs, immunohistochemistry, and a mouse xenograft model. The targeted relationship among UCA1, miR-145, and MYO6 was predicted using LncBase Predicted v.2 and TargetScan online software, and then verified by luciferase activity assay and RNA immunoprecipitation. Results UCA1 expression was higher but miR-145 expression was lower in gastric cancer cell lines or tissues, compared to the adjacent normal cell line or normal tissues. Function analysis verified that UCA1 promoted cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis in the gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, UCA1 could bind directly to miR-145, and MYO6 was found to be a downstream target gene of miR-145. miR-145 mimics or MYO6 siRNAs could partly reverse the effect of UCA1 on gastric cancer cells. Conclusions UCA1 accelerated cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis through sponging miR-145 to upregulate MYO6 expression in gastric cancer, indicating that the UCA1/miR-145/MYO6 axis may serve as a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
