Abstract Background The gastric cancer (GC) microenvironment has important effects on biological behaviors, such as tumor cell invasion and metastasis. However, the mechanism by which the GC microenvironment promotes GC cell invasion and metastasis is unknown. The present study aimed to clarify the effects and mechanism of galectin-1 (GAL-1, encoded by LGALS1) on GC invasion and metastasis in the GC microenvironment.Methods The expression of GAL-1/ LGALS1 was determined using western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR in GC tissues. Besides, methods including stable transfection, Matrigel invasion and migration assays, and wound-healing assays in vitro; and metastasis assays in vivo, were also conducted.Results GAL-1 from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) induced the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) of GC cells though the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1)/ Sma- and mad-related protein (Smad) pathway, and affected the prognosis of patients with GC. The level of GAL-1 was high in CAFs, and treating MGC-803 and SGC -7901 cell line with the conditioned medium from CAFs promoted their invasion and metastasis abilities. Overexpression of LGALS1 promoted the expression of TGF-β1 and induced EMT of GC cell lines. A TGF-β1 antagonist inhibited the invasion and migration of GC cells. In vivo, overexpression of LGALS1 promoted GC growth and metastasis, and the TGF-β1 antagonist dramatically reversed these events. Conclusions These findings suggested that high expression of GAL-1 in the GC microenvironment predicts a poor prognosis in patients with GC by promoting the migration and invasion of GC cells via EMT through the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. The results might provide new therapeutic targets to treat GC.

14 Background: Dopamine and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, Mr 32000 (DARPP-32) is amplified and overexpressed in approximately 70% of gastric cancers. The prognosis for gastric cancer patients remains poor, especially in more advanced stages. Recently, it was suggested that CXCL-12 and its receptor, CXCR4, are involved in gastric cancer metastasis. However, the detailed mechanism of gastric cancer metastasis is still not completely understood. Methods: Cells invasive activity was determined by invasion assay and HUVEC invasion assay. The association between DARPP-32 and CXCR4 was evaluated by immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation assays. CXCR4 degradation was analyzed by Ubiquitination Assay. Results: Overexpression of DARPP-32 in AGS cells increased cell invasion with about as three-fold invasive cells as the vector control (p<0.01). As measured by HUVEC invasion assay, overexpression of DARPP-32 in AGS cells also had a significant increase in the invasive activity (p<0.001). We found that DARPP-32 led to increased CXCR4 and MT1-MMP protein levels in DARPP-32 expressing AGS cells. The co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated the existence of DARPP-32 and CXCR4 in the same protein complex. AGS cells expressing DARPP-32 displayed stable protein levels of CXCR4. IP-Western blot showed reduced ubiquitination of CXCR4 protein following the overexpression of DARPP-32 and treatment with CXCL-12, as compared to controls. Using AMD3100 (0.2 ng/ml) overnight blocked DARPP-32-induced cell invasion. The knockdown of endogenous DARPP-32 by lentiviral DARPP-32 shRNA in MKN-45 cell line reversed these signaling effects and decreased cell invasive activity, as measured by invasion and HUVEC invasion Assay (p<0.01, p<0.05). Conclusions: The in vitro studies indicate that DARPP-32 plays a role in invasion and metastasis; DARPP-32 promotes invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells by interacted with CXCR4, delaying CXCL-12-induced CXCR4 Ubiquitination and blocking CXCR4 degradation, activating MMP2 by increasing MT1-MMP expression. The in vivo experiments are ongoing to determine the efficacy of DARPP-32 in mediating CXCR4 overexpression and metastasis.
