Gastric cancer is one of the major cancers threatening people’s lives worldwide. Recent studies showed that Gypsophila oldhamiana gypsogenin (GOG) exhibits inhibition effects and cytotoxic activities against different cell lines. The aim of this study was to explore the inhibitory effect and dose response of GOG on gastric cancer cell line NCI-N87 and to provide the theoretical basis for clinical anti-tumor therapy. The experiments showed that GOG could inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell line NCI-N87. GOG could dose dependently reduce the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloprotein (MMP)-9 proteins, while increase the expression of caspase-3 and Bax proteins. Compared with model group, tumor volume (TV), relative tumor volume (RTV), and relative tumor increment rate (T/C) in the mid-dose and high-dose GOG groups were significantly reduced, and the inhibition rate (IR) in the two groups was significantly increased. The results indicated that the anti-tumor effect of GOG on gastric cancer cells may be related with the downregulation of caspase-3 and Bax and the upregulation of MMP-9 and VEGF.

Chemotherapy is still widely used as a coadjutant in gastric cancer when surgery is not possible or in presence of metastasis. During tumor evolution, gatekeeper mutations provide a selective growth advantage to a subpopulation of cancer cells that become resistant to chemotherapy. When this phenomenon happens, patients experience tumor recurrence and treatment failure. Even if many chemoresistance mechanisms are known, such as expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1) activity and activation of peculiar intracellular signaling pathways, a common and universal marker for chemoresistant cancer cells has not been identified yet. In this study we subjected the gastric cancer cell line AGS to chronic exposure of 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin or paclitaxel, thus selecting cell subpopulations showing resistance to the different drugs. Such cells showed biological changes; among them, we observed that the acquired chemoresistance to 5-fluorouracil induced an endothelial-like phenotype and increased the capacity to form vessel-like structures. We identified the upregulation of thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP), which is one of the most commonly reported mutated genes leading to 5-fluorouracil resistance, as the cause of such enhanced vasculogenic ability.
