The c-Myc promoter binding protein 1 (MBP-1) is a transcriptional suppressor of c-myc expression and involved in control of tumorigenesis. Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasms and lethal malignancies worldwide. So far, the regulatory mechanism of its aggressiveness has not been clearly characterized. Here we studied roles of MBP-1 in gastric cancer progression. We found that cell proliferation was inhibited by MBP-1 overexpression in human stomach adenocarcinoma SC-M1 cells. Colony formation, migration, and invasion abilities of SC-M1 cells were suppressed by MBP-1 overexpression but promoted by MBP-1 knockdown. Furthermore, the xenografted tumor growth of SC-M1 cells was suppressed by MBP-1 overexpression. Metastasis in lungs of mice was inhibited by MBP-1 after tail vein injection with SC-M1 cells. MBP-1 also suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition in SC-M1 cells. Additionally, MBP-1 bound on cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) promoter and downregulated COX-2 expression. The MBP-1-suppressed tumor progression in SC-M1 cells were through inhibition of COX-2 expression. MBP-1 also exerted a suppressive effect on tumor progression of other gastric cancer cells such as AGS and NUGC-3 cells. Taken together, these results suggest that MBP-1–suppressed COX-2 expression plays an important role in the inhibition of growth and progression of gastric cancer.

Background: Over the last 10 years the incidence of gastric cancer has declined significantly. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most prevalent malignancies both in Russia and worldwide. Therefore, the problems of early diagnostics, prognosis and individualized treatment choice are still on the agenda. Much attention is paid to the evaluation of molecular biological characteristics of the tumor, as well as to the development of multiparametric prognostic systems for gastric cancer based on its identified characteristics. An important place among potential tumor biological markers belongs to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) involved into all the stages of tumor progression, first of all, into the regulation of invasion and metastasizing.Aim: Comparative quantitative evaluation of some MMP family members (MMP-2, 7, and 9) and one of the tissue MMP inhibitors (TIMP-2) levels in the tumors and adjacent histologically unchanged mucosa in gastric cancer patients, the analysis of their associations with the main clinical and pathological features of the disease and its prognosis.Materials and methods: Sixty six (66) primary gastric cancer patients (32 male and 34 female) aged 24 to 82 years (median, 61 year) were recruited into the study. Twenty two (22) patients were with stage I of the disease, 11 with stage II, 28 with stage III, and 5 with stage IV. The concentrations of the proteins studied were measured in the tumor and unchanged mucosa extracts by standard direct ELISA kits (Quantikine®, R&D Systems, USA).Results: Tumor MMP-2, 7 and 9 levels were significantly increased, compared to those in the adjacent histologically unchanged mucosa, in 80, 70 and 72% of gastric cancer patients, respectively, while the increase of TIMP-2 level found in 61% of the tumors was not statistically significant. Tumor MMP-2 and TIMP-2 content was increasing significantly with higher T index – size and advancement of the primary tumor (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05 respectively). Tumor MMP-2 level was also increasing in parallel with the N index (regional lymph node involvement; p < 0.01); it was significantly higher in the patients with distant metastases than in those without them (p < 0.05). Tumor MMP-9 and MMP-7 concentrations were not significantly associated with the indices of the tumor progression. The patients were followed up for 1 to 85 months (median, 18.3 months). According to the univariate analysis, high (> 32.6 ng/mg protein) MMP-2 and low MMP-7 (< 1.1 ng/mg protein) levels in the gastric cancer tissue represent statistically significant unfavorable prognostic factors for overall survival. Increased TIMP-2 level is associated with a non-significant decrease in the overall survival (p > 0.05), whereas the MMP-9 level was unrelated to the gastric cancer prognosis. Only T index (p = 0.0034) and tumor MMP-7 content (p = 0.026) remained independent prognostic factors in the multivariate regression analysis.Conclusion: The majority of gastric cancer patients demonstrate a significant increase in the expression of three MMP family members, i.e. gelatinases (MMP-2 and 9), and matrilysin (MMP-7), in the tumors, as compared to adjacent histologically unchanged mucosa. Only MMP-2 levels were associated with the disease progression, increasing with higher TNM system indices. High MMP-2 and low MMP-7 content in the gastric cancer tissue are significant unfavorable prognostic factors for the overall survival in the univariate analysis, but only MMP-7 has retained its independent prognostic value in the multivariate assessment.

Abstract Background: Although ArfGAP with SH3 Domain, Ankyrin Repeat and PH Domain 1(ASAP1) is involved in the development of various malignancies, its clinical significance and mechanism in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear.Methods: The effects of ASAP1 on tumor progression, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition were evaluated in vitro. The effects of ASAP1 on tumor growth and angiogenesis were also explored in vivo. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases were used to gather ASAP1 expression data.Results: It showed that ASAP1 expression strongly correlated with the TNM stage (P < 0.0001) and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analyses indicated that ASAP1 overexpression (P < 0.0001) was an independent predictor for overall survival in patients with GC. Moreover, the results revealed that ASAP1 overexpression was independently related to lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0001). ASAP1 knockdown inhibited tumor cell motility, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis, which was accompanied with the downregulation of metastatic and angiogenic biomarkers. Furthermore, ASAP1 inhibition resulted in the simultaneous downregulation of mesenchymal markers and upregulation of epithelial markers. In addition, ASAP1 promoted tumor growth and angiogenesis in the xenograft mice model. The combined datasets (TCGA and GEO) suggested that ASAP1 was associated with malignant behavior of tumor and tumor invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis.Conclusion: To our knowledge, our study is the first to reveal that ASAP1 promotes tumor progression and angiogenesis, and indicates a prognostic potential in GCs.

Metastasis is the most challenging issue for gastric cancer, and identification of the molecular mechanism and suitable targets for treatment is the major purpose of recent research. In this study, we found the long non-coding RNA ANRIL was critical for the progression of gastric cancer. Knockdown of ANRIL (also known as CDKN2B-AS) with shRNA increased apoptosis, inhibited tumor growth, and suppressed migration of cancer cells. TET2 (Tet Methylcytosine Dioxygenase 2), a methylcytosine dioxygenase suppressed ANRIL function and prevented cancer progression. Patients with higher TET2 expression survived better, while with higher ANRIL survived worse. Furthermore, expressions of TET2 and ANRIL were negatively correlated in the patient samples. The mechanistic study suggested that ANRIL promoted tumor progression mainly by enhancing NF-kB signaling. Impact statement Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. The lack of curative therapeutic options ascribes to the complex genetic background and heterogeneity of gastric cancer. Understanding the molecular details of the disease and identifying the therapeutic targets would offer additional treatment options. Long non-coding RNA ANRIL was involved in the progression of many cancers, including gastric cancer, but the mechanism was unknown. The current study indicated that ANRIL supported tumor cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis and promoted metastasis by enhancing NF-kB signaling. NF-kB signaling was critical in tumor progression, and this study proved another long non-coding RNA that could regulate NF-kB signaling. ANRIL would be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for gastric cancer prognosis and treatment.
