Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most incident types of cancer worldwide and presents high mortality rates and poor prognosis. MYC oncogene overexpression is a key event in gastric carcinogenesis and it is known that its protein positively regulates CDC25B expression which, in turn, plays an essential role in the cell division cycle progression. Menadione is a synthetic form of vitamin K that acts as a specific inhibitor of the CDC25 family of phosphatases. Methods: To better understand the menadione mechanism of action in gastric cancer, we evaluated its molecular and cellular effects in cell lines and in Sapajus apella, nonhuman primates from the new world which had gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea. We tested CDC25B expression by western blot and RT-qPCR. In-vitro assays include proliferation, migration, invasion and flow cytometry to analyze cell cycle arrest. In in-vivo experiments, in addition to the expression analyses, we followed the preneoplastic lesions and the tumor progression by ultrasonography, endoscopy, biopsies, histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Results: Our tests demonstrated menadione reducing CDC25B expression in vivo and in vitro. It was able to reduce migration, invasion and proliferation rates, and induce cell cycle arrest in gastric cancer cell lines. Moreover, our in-vivo experiments demonstrated menadione inhibiting tumor development and progression. Conclusions: We suggest this compound may be an important ally of chemotherapeutics in the treatment of gastric cancer. In addition, CDC25B has proven to be an effective target for investigation and development of new therapeutic strategies for this malignancy.

Abstract Background The purpose is to study the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in Placental site trophoblastic tumor(PSTT).Methods We established PSTT cell lines by primary culture of a surgically resected PSTT tissues and identified the expression of immune-phenotype markers(HLA-G, β-catenin, CD146, Muc4, hPL, hCG) by immunofluorescence. We measured the IC50 value of methotrexate(MTX), etoposide(VP-16), actinomycin-D(Act-D), cisplatin(DDP), fluorouracil(5-FU) and paclitaxel(TAX) in PSTTs and used a special Mini patient-derived xenograft (Mini PDX) model to evaluate effectiveness of these drugs in vivo. Given that MTX is a cell cycle-dependent chemotherapeutic, we analyzed cell cycle characteristics of PSTT and choriocarcinoma cell lines by flow cytometry and then analyzed RNA profiles and WGS data of the PSTT cell lines to identify the potential mechanism.Results We identified the expression of HLA-G, β-catenin, CD146, hPL and hCG in PSTT cell lines. The IC50 value of MTX was 4.922 mg/ml in PSTT-1, 4.525 mg/ml in PSTT-2, 5.117 mg/ml in PSTT-3, 0.0166 µg/ml in JEG-3 cells (p༜0.001), and 0.01 µg/ml in JAR cells (p༜0.001), with nearly 50,000-fold increase in PSTTs than in choriocarcinoma, indicating that PSTTs are resistant to MTX in vitro. The Mini PDX model revealed that PSTTs are also resistant to MTX in vivo. Cell cycle analysis showed dysregulation of G1/S transition and cell cycle arrest in PSTT cell lines. RNA sequencing profile also identified cell cycle-associated genes which were differentially expressed in PSTT cells than in choriocarcinoma cell.Conclusions We found PSTTs are resistant to MTX in vitro and in vivo compared to choriocarcinoma. Mechanisms could be focused on dysregulation of the G1/S transition and cell cycle arrest.

Abstract Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary liver cancer, and its 5-year survival rate is less than 10%. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) changes have been observed in 6%-50% of ICC patients, and patients with FGFR mutations have been shown to have more inert tumour biological activity than patients with wild-type FGFRs. Thus, as a pan-FGFR inhibitor, lenvatinib is supposed to play an anti-tumour role in ICC. However, no relevant experiments have been reported.Methods: Patients derived xenograft (PDX) model and cell line derived xenograft (CDX) model were both used for the in vivo study. For in vivo work, ICC cell lines were applied to analyse the effect of Lenvatinib on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and the molecular mechanism.Reaults: In the present study, we found that lenvatinib dramatically hindered in vivo tumor growth in ICC patient-derived xenograft models. In addition, by using in vitro experiments in ICC cell lines, we found that lenvatinib dose- and time-dependently inhibited the proliferation of ICC cells and induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. Transcriptional profiling analysis further applied indicated that lenvatinib might inhibit cell proliferation through the induction of cell-cycle arrestment via activating of Gadd45a, it was evidenced by that the knockout of Gadd45a significantly attenuated the cycle arrest induced by lenvatinib, as well as the inhibitory effect of lenvatinib on ICC.Conclusion: Our work firstly found that lenvatinib exerted excellent antitumor effect on ICC, mainly via inducing Gadd45a mediated cell cycle arrest. Our work provides evidence and a rationale for the future use of lenvatinib in the treatment of ICC.
