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.

Background Increased CCKBR expression density or frequency has been reported in many neoplasms. Objective We aimed to investigate whether CCKBR drives the growth of gastric cancer (GC) and its potential as a therapeutic target of immunotoxins. Methods A lentiviral interference system was used to generate CCKBR-knockdown gastric cancer cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 and clonogenic assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation. Wound-healing and cell invasion assays were performed to evaluate cell mobility. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Tumor growth in vivo was investigated using a heterologous tumor transplantation model in nude mice. In addition, we generated the immunotoxin FQ17P and evaluated the combining capacity and tumor cytotoxicity of FQ17P in vitro. Results Stable downregulation of CCKBR expression resulted in reduced proliferation, migration and invasion of BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells. The impact of CCKBR on gastric cancer cells was further verified through CCKBR overexpression studies. Downregulation of CCKBR expression also inhibited the growth of gastric tumors in vivo. Furthermore, FQ17P killed CCKBR-overexpressing GC cells by specifically binding to CCKBR on the tumor cell surface. Conclusion The CCKBR protein drives the growth, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells, and it might be a promising target for immunotoxin therapy based on its aberrant expression, functional binding interactions with gastrin, and subsequent internalization.

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.
