The main chemical component of cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD), has been shown to have antitumor properties. The present study examined the in vitro effects of CBD on human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. We found that CBD significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of SGC-7901 cells. Further investigation showed that CBD significantly upregulated ataxia telangiectasia-mutated gene (ATM) and p53 protein expression and downregulated p21 protein expression in SGC-7901 cells, which subsequently inhibited the levels of CDK2 and cyclin E, thereby resulting in cell cycle arrest at the G0–G1 phase. In addition, CBD significantly increased Bax expression levels, decreased Bcl-2 expression levels and mitochondrial membrane potential, and then upregulated the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9, thereby inducing apoptosis in SGC-7901 cells. Finally, we found that intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased after CBD treatment. These results indicated that CBD could induce G0–G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by increasing ROS production, leading to the inhibition of SGC-7901 cell proliferation, thereby suggesting that CBD may have therapeutic effects on gastric cancer.

Abstract Background Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is the most common EBV-related malignancy. A comprehensive research for the protein expression patterns in EBVaGC established by high-throughput assay remains lacking. In the present study, the protein profile in EBVaGC tissue was explored and related functional analysis was performed. Methods Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA (EBER) in situ hybridization (ISH) was applied to EBV detection in GC cases. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry (MS) was performed for proteomics assay of EBVaGC. Functional analysis of identified proteins was conducted with bioinformatics methods. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was employed to detect protein expression in tissue. Results The proteomics study for EBVaGC was conducted with 7 pairs of GC cases. A total of 137 differentially expressed proteins in EBV-positive GC group were identified compared with EBV-negative GC group. A PPI network was constructed for all of them, and several proteins with relatively high interaction degrees could be the hub genes in EBVaGC. Gene enrichment analysis showed they might be involved in the biological pathways related to energy and biochemical metabolism. Combined with GEO datasets, a highly associated protein (GBP5) with EBVaGC was screened out and validated with IHC staining. Further analyses demonstrated that GBP5 protein might be associated with clinicopathological parameters and EBV infection in GC. Conclusions The newly identified proteins with significant differences and potential central roles could be applied as diagnostic markers of EBVaGC. Our study would provide research clues for EBVaGC pathogenesis as well as novel targets for the molecular-targeted therapy of EBVaGC.

Genetic evidence suggests a role for the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in gastric cancer. However, Wnt5a, regarded as a prototypical non-canonical Wnt ligand, has also been extensively associated with this disease. Therefore, the roles of the Wnt signaling pathway in gastric cancer initiation and progression, and particularly the precise mechanisms by which the non-canonical Wnt pathway might promote the development and progression of gastric cancer, are not entirely well understood. This article analyzes publicly available gene and protein expression data and reveals the existence of a WNT5A/FZD2/FZD7/ROR2 signature, which correlates with tumor-infiltrating and mesenchymal cell marker expression. High expression of FZD7 and ROR2 correlates with a shared gene and protein expression profile, which in turn correlates with poor prognosis. In summary, the findings presented in this article provide an updated view of the relative contributions of the Wnt/β-catenin and non-canonical Wnt pathways in gastric cancer.

Pdcd4 Protein

To investigate the correlation and clinical significance between programmed cell death factor 4 (PDCD4) and epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) expressions and clinicopathological parameters in patients with gastric cancer, a total of 65 cases of gastric cancer and the corresponding normal mucosa with PDCD4 and Her-2 protein expressions were detected by SP immunohistochemical staining, and 50 cases of gastric cancer and the corresponding normal mucosa with PDCD4 and Her-2 protein expression quantities were detected by Western blot, in order to analyze the relationship between the positive expressions of PDCD4 and Her-2 protein and the clinicopathological features of patients with gastric cancer. The results showed that the positive rate of PDCD4 protein expression in gastric cancer tissues was 7.7%, which was significantly lower than that in the corresponding normal tissues, that is, 77.5% ( P < 0.05); the positive rate of Her-2 expression was 41.5%, which was significantly higher than that of the corresponding normal tissues, which is 2.5% ( P < 0.05). The Western blot test showed that the expression of PDCD4 protein in gastric cancer was 0.3105 ± 0.0073, which was significantly lower than that in the corresponding normal tissues, that is, 0.9428 ± 0.0127 ( P < 0.05); the expression level of Her-2 protein in gastric cancer tissues was 0.9428 ± 0.0127, which was significantly higher than that of the corresponding normal mucosa, which is 0.2054 ± 0.0264 ( P < 0.05). The positive expressions of PDCD4 (5/65) and Her-2 (27/65) were significantly correlated with the differentiation degrees and TNM stages of gastric cancer ( P < 0.05). However, no significant correlation can be observed from Table 2 ( P > 0.05), regarding sex, age, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis. Our research claimed that PDCD4 and Her-2 may play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer, which has a negative correlation with biological behaviors of gastric cancer. The low expression of PDCD4 and the high expression of Her-2 in gastric cancer may promote the occurrence and progression of cancer. The PDCD4 and Her-2 test can be used as an index to evaluate the malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer and prognosis, and provide a theoretical basis for targeted therapy.
