Pectolinarigenin (PEC), a natural flavonoid that is present in citrus fruits, has been reported to exhibit antitumor effects in several cancers. Though the mechanism of PEC-induced cytotoxicity effects has been documented, the proteomic changes that are associated with the cellular response to this flavonoid are poorly understood in gastric cancer cells. In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis was performed to identify proteins associated with PEC-induced cell death in two human gastric cancer cell lines: AGS and MKN-28. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) revealed a total of 29 and 56 protein spots with significant alteration were screened in AGS and MKN-28 cells respectively. In total, 13 (AGS) and 39 (MKN28) proteins were successfully identified by mass spectrometry from the differential spots and they are known to be involved in signal transduction, apoptosis, transcription and translation, cell structural organization, and metabolism, as is consistent with multiple effects of PEC on tumor cells. Notably, novel target proteins like Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX4 (DDX4) and E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase LRSAM1 (LRSAM1) along with the commonly differential expressed proteins on both the cell lines that are treated with PEC were confirmed by immunoblotting. The DDX4 accelerates cell cycle progression by abrogating the G2 checkpoint when overexpressed in cancer cells, while the aberrant expression of LRSAM1 may be involved in the cancer pathology. Thus, proteomic analysis provides vital information about target proteins that are important for PEC-induced cell death in gastric cancer cells.

Abstract Background: In recent years, many microRNAs(miRNAs) involved in cancer progression. The aberrant expression of miR-335-5p in tumorigenesis has been demonstrated. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying miR-335-5p- regulated MAPK10 expression in human gastric cancer（GC）.Methods: The quantitative real-time PCR was used to study the level of miR-335-5p expression in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues. Subsequently, the MTT and cloning formation assays were used to detect cell proliferation, while transwell and wound-healing assays were used to identify invasion and migration of the gastric cancer cells. The correlation between the miR-335-5p and the cell cycle-related target gene mitogen‑activated protein kinase 10 (MAPK10) in gastric cancer was analyzed based on the website. In addition, the target gene of miR-335-5p was detected by luciferase reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and western blotting.Results: The miR-335-5p level was down-regulated in GC tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, miR-335-5p inhibited proliferation, migration of gastric cancer cells, and induced apoptosis. During the G1/S phase, miR-335-5p arrested the cycle of gastric cancer cells in vitro. The correlation between the miR-335-5p and the cell cycle-related target gene MAPK10 in GC was analyzed, MAPK10 was directly targeted by the miR-335-5p.Conclusion: These data suggested that miR-335-5p acts as a tumor suppressor, and go through the MAPK10 to inhibit the GC progression.

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.

Abstract Human mutT homolog 1(MTH1), the oxidized dNTP pool sanitizer enzyme, has been reported to be highly expressed in various malignant tumors. However, the oncogenic role of MTH1 in gastric cancer remains to be determined. In the current study, we found that MTH1 was overexpressed in human gastric cancer tissues and cells. Using an in vitro MTH1 inhibitor screening system, the compounds available in our laboratory were screened and the small molecules containing 5-cyano-6-phenylpyrimidine structure were firstly found to show potently and specifically inhibitory effect on MTH1, especially compound MI-743 with IC50 = 91.44 ± 1.45 nM. Both molecular docking and target engagement experiments proved that MI-743 can directly bind to MTH1. Moreover, MI-743 could not only inhibit cell proliferation in up to 16 cancer cell lines, especially gastric cancer cells HGC-27 and MGC-803, but also significantly induce MTH1-related 8-oxo-dG accumulation and DNA damage. Furthermore, the growth of xenograft tumours derived by injection of MGC-803 cells in nude mice was also significantly inhibited by MI-743 treatment. Importantly, MTH1 knockdown by siRNA in those two gastric cancer cells exhibited the similar findings. Our findings indicate that MTH1 is highly expressed in human gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. Small molecule MI-743 with 5-cyano-6-phenylpyrimidine structure may serve as a novel lead compound targeting the overexpressed MTH1 for gastric cancer treatment.

Transient Receptor

Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, receptor 7 (TRPM7) is a ubiquitous divalent-selective ion channel with its own kinase domain. Human gastric cancer cells express the TRPM7 channel, and the presence of this channel is essential for cell survival. Recent studies have suggested that 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors are potent blockers of the TRPM7 channels. The aim of this study was to show the effects of 5-LOX inhibitors on the growth and survival of gastric cancer cells. Among 5-LOX inhibitors, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(12-hydroxy-5,10-dodecadiynyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (AA861), and 3-[1-(p-chlorobenzyl)-5-(isopropyl)-3-tert-butylthioindol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid (MK886) were potent blockers of TRPM7-like currents in gastric cancer cells and also induced cell death. However, zileuton was ineffective in suppressing TRPM7-like current activity and inducing cell death. Moreover, a specific transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 3 (TRPC3) inhibitor, a pyrazole compound (Pyr3), and a specific melastatin TRP (TRPM4) inhibitor, 9-phenanthrol, did not affect TRPM7-like currents or induce cell death. We conclude that TRPM7 has an important role in the growth and survival of gastric cancer cells and a likely potential target for the pharmacological treatment of gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common and fatal malignancies worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in tumor initiation, proliferation, and metastasis of gastric cancer. miR193b has been identified as a tumor suppressor in a variety of tumor types; however, its role in gastric cancer is yet to be determined. Here, we found a significant downregulation of miR193b expression in both human gastric cancer tissues (p<0.05) and human gastric cancer cell lines (p<0.01). Furthermore, the expression level of miR193b correlated with the tumor type, tumor size, and clinical stage (p<0.05). In vitro, miR193b overexpression inhibited cell survival and induced apoptosis in GC cell lines, indicating that miR193b plays a role in the development of gastric cancer. KRAS was verified as the target of miR193b, and KRAS overexpression attenuated miR193b-induced apoptosis (p<0.05). Moreover, we found that the Akt pathway negatively regulated miR193b, also affecting apoptosis. Further analyses indicated that PIK3CA mutation and KRAS amplification are two mutually exclusive pathways (p<0.01), and we hypothesize that both two pathways could result in the carcinogenic overactivation of KRAS. Thus, our results suggest that the Akt-miR193b-KRAS axis may act as a mechanism affecting apoptosis in gastric cancer cells.

Purpose: To study the role and therapeutic potential of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase-α (ACC) in the management of gastric cancer. Methods: Expression of ACC in gastric cancer cell lines was determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Lipofectamine 2000 reagent was used for transfection, while cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Apoptotic cell death was assayed with 4′, 6-diamidino-2- phenylindole (DAPI) and acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining. The proportion of apoptotic cells was estimated with Annexin V/PI staining. Wound healing and Transwell assays were employed to monitor cell migration and invasion, while protein expression was determined using western blotting. Results: The results showed that ACC was significantly enhanced in SNU-1 gastric cancer cells (4.2- fold). Silencing of ACC in SNU-1 gastric cancer cells caused significant decrease in cell proliferation (p < 0.05). Electron microscopy examination showed that ACC silencing triggered autophagic cell death in SNU-1 cells, and increased expression of LC3 II. Results from DAPI and AO/EB assays demonstrated that ACC silencing also promoted apoptosis in SNU-1 gastric cancer cells. Annexin V/PI assay results revealed that apoptotic cell population increased from 2.7 to 13.8 % due to ACC silencing (p < 0.05). Moreover, Bax expression increased, while Bcl-2 expression decreased upon ACC silencing. Transwell assay results indicate that ACC silencing caused marked decrease in the invasion of the SNU-1 cells and downregulation of the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: ACC is likely to be an important therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
