Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be synthesized in mammalian cells by cystathionineγ-lyase (CSE) and/or cystathionineβ-synthase (CBS). Both CSE and CBS are expressed in rat gastric tissues but their role in human gastric neoplasia has been unclear. The aims of the present study were to detect CSE and CBS proteins in human gastric cancer and determine the effect of exogenous NaHS on the proliferation of gastric cancer cells. We found that both CSE and CBS proteins were expressed in human gastric cancer cells and upregulated in human gastric carcinoma mucosa compared with those in noncancerous gastric samples. NaHS induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells by regulating apoptosis related proteins. Also, NaHS inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion. An antigastric cancer role of H2S is thus indicated.

Objective Previous studies suggested that sevoflurane exerts anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and anti-invasive effects on cancer cells. To determine the role of sevoflurane on gastric cancer (GC) progression, we evaluated its effects on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of SGC7901, AGS, and MGC803 GC cells. Methods GC cells were exposed to different concentrations of sevoflurane (1.7, 3.4, or 5.1% v/v). Cell viability, migration, and invasion were evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and Transwell assays. Immunohistochemical staining and immunoblotting were performed to analyze forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) protein expression in tissue specimens and cell lines, respectively. Results FOXP3 was downregulated in human GC specimens and cell lines. Functionally, FOXP3 overexpression significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells and accelerated their apoptosis. Moreover, sevoflurane significantly blocked GC cell migration and invasion compared with the findings in the control group. However, FOXP3 silencing neutralized sevoflurane-induced apoptosis and the inhibition of GC cell migration and invasion. Sevoflurane-induced apoptosis and the suppression of migration and invasion might be associated with FOXP3 overactivation in GC cells. Conclusions Sevoflurane activated FOXP3 and prevented GC progression via inhibiting cell migration and invasion in vitro.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are reportedly involved in gastric cancer development and progression. In particular, miR-219-5p has been reported to be a tumor-associated miRNA in human cancer. However, the role of miR-219-5p in gastric cancer remains unclear. In this study, we investigated for the first time the potential role and underlying mechanism of miR-219-5p in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human gastric cancer cells. miR-219-5p was found to be markedly decreased in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent tissues and normal gastric epithelial cells. miR-219-5p mimics or anti-miR-219-5p was transfected into gastric cancer cell lines to overexpress or suppress miR-219-5p expression, respectively. Results showed that miR-219-5p overexpression significantly decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. Conversely, miR-219-5p suppression demonstrated a completely opposite effect. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays indicated that miR-219-5p targeted the 3′-untranslated region of the liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), a well-characterized oncogene. Furthermore, miR-219-5p inhibited the mRNA and protein levels of LRH-1. LRH-1 mRNA expression was inversely correlated with miR-219-5p expression in gastric cancer tissues. miR-219-5p overexpression significantly decreased the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in gastric cancer cells. Additionally, LRH-1 restoration can markedly reverse miR-219-5p-mediated tumor suppressive effects. Our study suggests that miR-219-5p regulated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human gastric cancer cells by suppressing LRH-1. miR-219-5p may be a potential target for gastric cancer therapy.

53 Background: HER2 amplification occurs in about 20% of gastric cancers, and trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin based chemotherapy has been reported to improve oncological outcomes in gastric and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer with HER2 gene amplification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potentially useful combined antitumor efficacy of trastuzumab and platinum agents in gastric cancer cells and to elucidate further the mechanisms possibly involved in the interaction between the trastuzumab and platinum agents. Methods: Gene expression was determined by using real-time quantitative PCR in gastric cancer cell lines. The chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells to platinum agents and the apoptotic effect of drugs in vitro were evaluated using cellTiter 96 Aqueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay kit and double staining with both Annexin-V-FITC and PI, respectively. Results: Treatment with 1.0μg/ml trastuzumab for 48h could significantly increase sensitivity of oxaliplatin or cisplatin in HER2 amplified gastric cancer cells, and the IC50 of oxaliplatin and cisplatin were reduced to about 3.29 times and 6.91 times, respectively. Apoptosis analysis also indicated that trastuzumab significantly increased both oxaliplatin and cisplatin-induced apoptosis in NCI-N87 cells. Analysis of telomere-related genes revealed that trastuzumab singly and pretreatment with trastuzumab for 48h followed by oxaliplatin or cisplatin for another 48h could significantly downregulate the mRNA expression of TPP1, TRF1, TRF2, TRF2IP, POT1 and TIN2 genes. Conclusions: Our results describe the potential role of low dose trastuzumab to increase sensitivity of oxaliplatin and cisplatin in HER2 amplified gastric cancer cells, which may be partially through downregulating the expression levels of telomere-related genes.
