ABSTRACT Vitamin C has re-emerged as a promising anticancer agent. This study attempts to analyze the differential gene expression of profiles GSE11919 to look for some clues, and the most significant cell cycle pathway caused by vitamin C was identified by integrated bioinformatics analysis. Inspired by this, we investigated the effect of vitamin C treatment on gastric carcinoma cells by detection of cell cycle, apoptosis, and autophagy. Vitamin C significantly elevated the percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase, whereas the percentage of S phase cells was decreased. Meanwhile, vitamin C treatment resulted in downregulation of cell cycle-related protein Cyclin D1. We deduced that the downregulation of Cyclin D1 by vitamin C accompanied by significantly increased 5′AMP-activated protein kinase and induced autophagy in MKN45 cells. These results suggest that vitamin C has the antiproliferation effect on gastric carcinoma cells via the regulation of cell cycle and autophagy by Cyclin D1.

e15114 Background: The deregulation of cyclin, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their inhibitors could have a crucial role in the development of diverse human cancers. Alterations in cell cycle regulators and subsequent deregulation of the cell cycle are frequently involved in tumorigenesis and/or tumor progression. The aim of our study was to detect the abnormal expression of cyclin D1 and p21(WAF1/CIP1)in gastric carcinoma and investigate its clinicopathologic significance. Methods: Proteins of cyclin D1 were detected by immunohistochemistry in 80 cases of advanced gastric carcinoma, and 30 cases of benign gastric diseases (chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, gastric metaplasia, and gastric dysplasia). From each patient formaldehyde–fixed paraffin sections were stained and examined by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies.All tumor cells with distinct nuclear staining were considered positive. Results: Sixty-five patients were male and forty five female. Normal gastric epithelium showed consistently positive immunostain for p21WAF1/CIP1. Loss of p21WAF1/CIP1 expression was noted in 65% of intestinal type adenocarcinoma and in 90% of diffuse type adenocarcinoma. Overexpression of cyclin D1 was detected in 90% of advanced gastric carcinomas. Among the various clinicopathological findings, overexpression of cyclin D1 was associated with lymph-node metastasis (P=0.003) and recurrence (P=0.044). Loss of p21WAF1/CIP1 expression was more frequent in diffuse type cancers (P=0.005) and was correlated with recurrence (P=0.002) and death (P=0.001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that overexpression of cyclin D1 is a frequent finding in gastric cancer and immunohistochemical analysis for cell cycle regulators, might be a useful prognostic indicator in gastric cancer.

126 Background: Breast cancer is a molecularly diverse disease with molecular subtypes defined by ER, PR and HER2 status. Dysregulation of the cell cycle pathway through activation of cyclin D1 and/or inactivation of CDKN2A is a mechanism of tumor progression in breast cancer and drugs targeting CDK4/6 is undergoing investigation in this disease with promising preliminary results. We investigated several key genetic alterations in cell cycle regulatory proteins in advanced breast cancer patient samples to identify potential targets for cell cycle related treatment options. Methods: A comprehensive genomic profiling was performed on 37 breast cancer samples with the majority being metastatic. Testing included targeted exome sequencing of 562 genes in tumor and paired normal DNA. Results: Patients’ ages ranged from 27-66 years. Analysis of cell cycle regulatory genes revealed focal amplification of cyclin D1/D2 or CDKN2A loss in 9/37 (24%) of cases, of which, 45% were hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2 negative, 33% were HR positive, HER2 positive and 22% were triple negative (TNBC) subtype. Loss of RB1 was analyzed since it negatively regulates response to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Loss of RB1 was noted in 4/37 (10.8%) of cases, all of which were TNBCs. Only a single TNBC with RB1 loss had concurrent CDK4 amplification and loss of CDKN2A. No evidence of CCNE1 amplification was found in any samples. Incidence of CDK4 and CDK6 amplification was found in samples with cyclin D1 amplification or CDKN2A loss. Our cohort included a single male TNBC patient who harbored cyclin D1 amplification as well as CDKN2A loss. Overall, amplification of cyclin D1, cyclin D2, CDK4 and CDK6 was found in 16%, 5.4%, 2.7% and 2.7% respectively. Loss of CDKN2A was noted in 5.4% of tumors profiled. Conclusions: Exome sequencing identified subsets of patients with mutated cell cycle associated genes that may benefit from CDK 4/6 inhibitors. Our data suggests loss of RB1 is more frequent in TNBC subtype which may confer resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Our analysis suggests that in addition to HR positive, HER2 negative patients, a subset of HR positive, HER2 positive patients could be sensitive to CDK4/6 inhibitors due to activation of the cell cycle pathway as evidenced by mutations in key genes.
