21020 Background: Exploration of molecular determinants for chemosensitivity is the key element of personalized cancer therapy. Cyclin E is a major G1-phase cyclin, together with the CDK2, which mediates phosphorylation and functional inactivation of Rb protein. Cyclin E overexpression has been demonstrated in a variety of cancers, including human gastric cancers (GC), while its biologic significance in drug therapy remains unclear. Previously, we have demonstrated that cyclin D1 overexpression plays an important role in differential chemosensitivity of human GC cells (Proc Am Assoc Cancer Res 2004; 45: abstract 4888). In this study, we examine the roles between cyclin E overexpression and chemosensitivity of human GC cells. Methods: Compared human gastric cancer cells (NCI-N87) with stably transfected cells (N87-CyE), which have 2-fold overexpression of cyclin E, the IC50 for gemcitabine (2'-2'-difluoro- deoxycytidine, dFdC) was more than 1-log lower in N87-CyE (17.0 ± 2.7 nM) than N87 cells (113.7 ± 6.5 nM) by MTT colorimetric cytotoxicity assay. In contrast, the N87-CyE cells are only slightly more chemosensitive to taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel), and confer largely identical chemosensitivity to 5-FU, cisplatin, and irinotecan (CPT-11). We applied RNA interference (RNAi) of cyclin E to N87 cells. The stably transfected N87-CyE/RNAi cells readily confer gemcitabine resistance with the IC50 for gemcitabine of 124.5 ± 1.6 nM. Results: Gemcitabine-induced apoptosis in N87, N87-CyE, or N87-CyE/RNAi cells was shown in either caspase-3 or PARP (poly ADP-ribose polymerase) cleavage assay by Western blotting, and Annexin-V-FITC apoptosis detection by flowcytometry. The threshold concentration of gemcitabine for caspase-3 and PARP cleavage was 10–25 nM for N87-CyE, and 100–200 nM for N87 or N87-CyE/RNAi, respectively. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that preferential chemosensitivity to gemcitabine by cyclin E overexpression in gastric cancer cells. Gemcitabine-induced apoptosis is enhanced by cyclin E overexpression, while is reduced by RNAi of cyclin E. Further studies for potential clinical use of gemcitabine in personalized chemotherapy for cyclin E or cyclin D1-overexpressing GC are warranted (supported by the grants of NHRI-CN-CA9201S, Taiwan).

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) operate as tumor suppressor or carcinogen to regulate cell proliferation, metastasis, invasion, differentiation, apoptosis, and metabolic process. In the present research, we investigated the effect and mechanism of miR-496 in human gastric cancer cells. miR-496 was downregulated in two gastric cancer cell lines, AGS and MKN45, compared with normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. miR-496 mimics inhibited the proliferation of AGS cells after the transfection for 48 and 72 h. The migration and invasion of AGS cells were also inhibited by the transfection of miR-496 mimics. miR-496 mimics induced the apoptosis through upregulating the levels of Bax and Active Caspase 3 and downregulating the levels of Bcl-2 and Total Caspase 3. Bioinformatics analysis showed that there was a binding site between miR-496 and Lyn kinase (LYN). miR-496 mimics could inhibit the expression of LYN in AGS cells. LYN overexpression blocked the inhibition of tumor cell growth, as well as the inhibition of AKT/mTOR signaling pathway induced by miR-496. In conclusion, miR-496 inhibited the proliferation through the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway via targeting LYN in gastric cancer cells. Our research provides a new potential target for clinical diagnosis and targeted treatment for gastric cancer.
