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.

We found that SDF-1/CXCR7 axis played an important role in the growth and proliferation of gastric cancer in the previous studies. The objectives of this study were to explore the effects of SDF-1/CXCR7 on the metastatic ability of gastric cancer cells and the possible mechanisms. CXCR7 expression in SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells was stably knocked down via lentiviral vectors. The cell migration and invasion abilities were detected by transwell migration and invasion assays. The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and Akt phosphorylation were detected with real-time PCR and/or western blot. We found that SDF-1 markedly enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells; CXCR7 knockdown inhibited these effects. SDF-1/CXCR7 increased the expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF. SDF-1/CXCR7 also downregulated E-cadherin expression but upregulated N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail expressions, suggesting that SDF-1/CXCR7 could promote the development of EMT in gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, SDF-1/CXCR7 could promote Akt phosphorylation. Our results indicated that SDF-1/CXCR7 enhanced the migration, invasion and EMT of gastric cancer cells and thus CXCR7 supression may be a strategy for inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis.

Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common tumor and has the third-highest mortality rate among various malignant tumors, and the survival rate of patients is low. Celastrus orbiculatus extract (COE) has been shown to inhibit the activity of a variety of tumors. In this study, we examined the inhibition of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in gastric cancer cells by COE through the transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) signaling pathway. Methods: COE was first diluted to various concentrations and then used to treat SGC-7901, BGC-823, MGC-803, and AGS cells. Cell proliferation was assessed by an MTT (thiazole blue) assay. Transwell assays were used to assess cell invasion and migration. The high-content imaging technology was used to further observe the effects of the drug on cell invasion and migration. Western blotting was used to assess the effects of the drug on the expression of EMT and Smad2/3 signaling pathway-related proteins. Results: We found that COE inhibited the migration and invasion of AGS gastric cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Consequently, COE decreased the expression of EMT-related proteins and proteins related to the Smad2/3 signaling pathway in gastric cancer cells, inhibiting the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells, and this effect occurred through the TGF-β signaling pathway. Summary: We investigated that COE could inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells and inhibit invasion and metastasis by inhibiting the EMT process at the molecular level and its effect on the TGF-β signaling pathway.

Abstract We found that SDF-1/CXCR7 axis plays an important role in the growth and proliferation of gastric cancer in previous studies. The objectives of this study were to explore the effects of SDF-1/CXCR7 on the metastatic ability of gastric cancer cells and the possible mechanisms. SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells were cultured in vitro, CXCR7 expression was stably knocked down via lentiviral vectors. The cell migration and invasion abilities were detected by transwell migration and invasion assays. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and Akt phosphorylation were detected with western blot. We found that SDF-1 markedly enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells; CXCR7 knockdown by lentiviral infection inhibited these effects. SDF-1/CXCR7 increased the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and VEGF. SDF-1/CXCR7 also downregulated E-cadherin expression but upregulated N-cadherin, vimentin and Snail expression, suggesting that SDF-1/CXCR7 could promote the development of EMT in gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, SDF-1/CXCR7 could promote Akt phosphorylation. Our results indicated that SDF-1/CXCR7 promoted the migration, invasion and EMT of gastric cancer cells and thus CXCR7 inhibition may be a strategy for inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis.
