The incidence of gastric cancer is extremely high in China, prompting the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Sodium selenite (SS) affects the proliferation and redifferentiation of gastric cancer cells and the Adriamycin prodrug Ac-Phe-Lys-PABC-ADM (PADM) reduces toxicity in gastric cancer treatment. However, the mechanisms involved therein remain unclear. In this study, nude mice were transplanted with SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells to construct a tumor xenograft model. After administration of SS and PADM, tumor weight and size were reduced. In addition, the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, creatinine, and lactate dehydrogenase were decreased, indicating improved hepatic and renal function and inhibited cancer cell metabolism. Furthermore, combined treatment of SS and PADM downregulated the expression of cell cycle-related proteins (cyclin-dependent kinase 4, Ki67, cyclin E, and cyclin D1), elevated that of proapoptosis proteins (Bax, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, and P53), and upregulated that of mitochondrial apoptosis-associated proteins (apoptotic protease activating factor 1 and second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases). In conclusion, combined treatment of SS and PADM effectively promoted apoptosis in gastric cancer xenografts via the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

Gastric cancer is a deadly disease, and the low rate of early diagnosis and chemoresistance largely contributed to the poor prognosis of gastric cancer. LncRNAs have been extensively reported for their roles in regulating cancer progression. In this study, we found that KLF3-AS1 was down-regulated in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of KLF3-AS1 repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, growth. In addition, KLF3-AS1 overexpression also exerted inhibitory effects on the gastric cancer cell invasion, migration and EMT, but promoted chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin. The mechanistic studies showed that KLF3-AS1 could act as the “sponge” for miR-223 and to repress miR-223 expression in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-223 reversed the inhibitory effects of KLF3-AS1 overexpression on gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT, and attenuated the enhanced effects of KLF3-AS1 overexpression on gastric cancer cell chemosensitivity to cisplatin. The in vivo studies showed that KLF3-AS1 overexpression suppressed the tumor growth of SGC-7901 in the nude mice. In conclusion, our results for the first time demonstrated that KLF3-AS1 was down-regulated in gastric cancer cells and repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT, and enhanced chemosensitivity to cisplatin. Further mechanistic results indicated that KLF3-AS1 exerted its biological function in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting miR-223 expression. Future studies are still required to decipher the detailed molecular mechanisms of KLF3-AS1 in gastric cancer.

Mesenchymal Transition

Background. Ursolic acid (UA) is an antitumor component derived from Chinese herbal medicine; this study is to observe the effects of UA on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric cancer. Methods. (1) In vitro experiments: 25μmol/L and 50μmol/L UA were applied to BGC-823, AGS, MGC-803, and HGC-27 cells; MTT staining, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry were used to assess cell proliferation, cell migration, and apoptosis, respectively. Western blot was performed to detect the expressions of N-Cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Twist, Axl, p-Axl, IKK, p-IKK, NF-κB, and p-NF-κB. (2) In vivo experiments: Ten BALB/c-nu mice were used to establish gastric cancer xenograft model. Five were orally given UA for 4 weeks and five were given normal saline. Expressions of N-Cadherin and Snail were examined by immunohistochemical assay; expressions of N-Cadherin, Snail, Twist, Axl, p-Axl, IKK, and p-IKK were detected by Western blot. Results. (1) UA inhibited cell proliferation in BGC-823 and HGC-27 cells in dose-dependent manners. (2) UA inhibited cell migration in BGC-823, AGS, and MGC-803 cells while inducing apoptosis in BGC-823 cells. (3) UA significantly decreased the expressions of N-Cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Twist p-Axl, p-IKKα/β, and p-NF-κB in BGC-823 and MGC-803 cells. (4) UA distinctly decreased the expressions of N-Cadherin, Snail, p-Axl, and p-IKKα/β in gastric cancer xenograft model rats. Conclusion. UA can effectively inhibit the proliferation and migration and induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. The antitumor effect of UA is conducted by EMT inhibition, which may be associated with the regulation of Axl/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1 (AMD1) is a key enzyme involved in biosynthesis of polyamines including spermidine and spermine. The potential function of AMD1 in human gastric cancers is unknown. We analyzed AMD1 expression level in 319 human gastric cancer samples together with the adjacent normal tissues. The protein expression level of AMD1 was significantly increased in human gastric cancer samples compared with their corresponding para-cancerous histological normal tissues (P < 0.0001). The expression level of AMD1 was positively associated with Helicobactor pylori 16sRNA (P < 0.0001), tumor size (P < 0.0001), tumor differentiation (P < 0.05), tumor venous invasion (P < 0.0001), tumor lymphatic invasion (P < 0.0001), blood vessel invasion (P < 0.0001), and tumor lymph node metastasis (TNM) stage (P < 0.0001). Patients with high expression of AMD1 had a much shorter overall survival than those with normal/low expression of AMD1. Knockdown of AMD1 in human gastric cancer cells suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation and cell migration. In a tumor xenograft model, knockdown of AMD1 suppressed the tumor growth in vivo. Inhibition of AMD1 by an inhibitor SAM486A in human gastric cancer cells arrested cell cycle progression during G1-to-S transition. Collectively, our studies at the cellular, animal and human levels indicate that AMD1 has a tumorigenic effect on human gastric cancers and affect the prognosis of the patients.

Kremen2 (Krm2) plays an important role in embryonic development, bone formation, and tumorigenesis as a crucial regulator of classical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. However, the role of Krm2 in gastric cancer is not clear. The aim of this study was to explore the regulatory role of Krm2 in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of gastric cancer. It was demonstrated that, compared to para-cancerous tissues, Krm2 was significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and was positively correlated with the pathological grade of gastric cancer patients. Given that Krm2 is abundantly expressed in most tested gastric cancer cell lines, Krm2 knockdown cell models were established and further used to construct mice xenograft model. After knocking down Krm2, both the cell survival in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo of gastric cancer cells were inhibited. At the same time, knockdown of Krm2 induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and repression of migration in gastric cancer cells in vitro. Mechanistically, we found that knockdown of Krm2 suppressed PI3K/Akt pathway. Therefore, we revealed the novel role and the molecular mechanism of Krm2 in promoting the tumorigenesis and metastasis in gastric cancer. Krm2 can be a potent candidate for designing of targeted therapy.
