Development Of Gastric Cancer

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.

Abstract Purpose: lncRNA NEAT1 has been reported as a tumor-promoting gene in a variety of tumors, but few studies have explored its role and mechanism in gastric cancer. In the face of increasing incidence of gastric cancer, how to improve the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic effect of gastric cancer is a major clinical problem. Therefore, we studied the effect and mechanism of lncRNA NEAT1 on the proliferation, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of gastric cancer cells. To inquiry into the effect of lncRNA NEAT1 on the proliferation, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer (GC) cells by regulating miR-129-5p/PBX3 axis. Methods: Totally 63 GC diagnosed and treated in our hospital were selected as the study subjects, whose paired GC tissues and pericarcinomatous tissues were collected as the study specimens after obtaining their consent. QRT-PCR was employed to detect the NEAT1 expression in tissues and cells to analyze the relationship between NEAT1 and clinicopathological data of GC patients. In addition, stable and transient overexpression and inhibition vectors were established and transfected into GC cells HCG-27 and MKN-45. CCK-8, traswell, and flow cytometry were employed to evaluate the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of transfected cells. The correlation of miR-129-5p between PBX3 and NEAT1 was assessed using dual luciferase reporter assay, while that between NEAT1 and miR-129-5p was assessed by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) . Western blot was applied for the detection of apoptosis and EMT related proteins.Results: NEAT1 was overexpressed in GC patients and had a high diagnostic value. The expression of NEAT1 was related to the pathological stage, differentiation degree, tumor size and lymph node metastasis of patients with GC. Down-regulated NEAT1 brought decreased cell proliferation, invasion and EMT, and increased apoptosis. According to dual luciferase reporter assay, NEAT1 could target miR-129-5p, while in turn miR-129-5p could target PBX3. Functional analysis exhibited that miR-129-5p overexpression inhibited PBX3 in GC cells, affecting cell proliferation, invasion, EMT and apoptosis, and rescue experiments demonstrated that these effects were eliminated by up-regulating NEAT1 expression.Conclusion: Inhibition of NEAT1 could mediate miR-129-5p/PBX3 axis to promote apoptosis of GC cells, and reduce cell proliferation, invasion and EMT.

PHF14 is a new member belonging to PHD finger proteins. PHF14 is involved in multiple biologic processes including Dandy–Walker syndrome, mesenchyme growth, lung fibrosis, renal fibrosis, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and tumor development. This study aims to explore whether PHF14 plays an important role in gastric cancer. Here, PHF14 is indicated as a tumor promoter. The expression of PHF14 enhances no matter in clinical samples or in gastric cancer cells. High expression of PHF14 impairs survival of patients. Attenuation of PHF14 inhibits cell proliferation in gastric cancer cells. PHF14 downregulation inhibits the expression of cell cycle-related proteins, CDK6 and cyclin D1. Furthermore, silencing of PHF14 reduces the level of phosphorylated AKT as well as phosphorylated ERK1/2. Finally, downregulation of PHF14 in gastric cancer cells inhibits colony formation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. These results indicate that PHF14 promotes tumor development in gastric cancer, so PHF14 thereby acts as a potential target for gastric cancer therapy.

Gastric cancer is a deadly disease, and the low rate of early diagnosis and chemoresistance largely contributed to the poor prognosis of gastric cancer. LncRNAs have been extensively reported for their roles in regulating cancer progression. In this study, we found that KLF3-AS1 was down-regulated in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of KLF3-AS1 repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, growth. In addition, KLF3-AS1 overexpression also exerted inhibitory effects on the gastric cancer cell invasion, migration and EMT, but promoted chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin. The mechanistic studies showed that KLF3-AS1 could act as the “sponge” for miR-223 and to repress miR-223 expression in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-223 reversed the inhibitory effects of KLF3-AS1 overexpression on gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT, and attenuated the enhanced effects of KLF3-AS1 overexpression on gastric cancer cell chemosensitivity to cisplatin. The in vivo studies showed that KLF3-AS1 overexpression suppressed the tumor growth of SGC-7901 in the nude mice. In conclusion, our results for the first time demonstrated that KLF3-AS1 was down-regulated in gastric cancer cells and repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT, and enhanced chemosensitivity to cisplatin. Further mechanistic results indicated that KLF3-AS1 exerted its biological function in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting miR-223 expression. Future studies are still required to decipher the detailed molecular mechanisms of KLF3-AS1 in gastric cancer.
