Abstract Objective: The present study is designed to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of myrrh on human gastric cancer both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The gastric cancer cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342 staining. Wound healing was performed to evaluate the effects of myrrh on the migration. COX-2, PCNA, Bcl-2, and Bax expressions were detected by Western blot analysis. A xenograft nude mice model of human gastric cancer was established to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of myrrh in vivo. Results: Myrrh significantly inhibited cellular proliferation, migration, and induced apoptosis in vitro as well as inhibited tumor growth in vivo. In addition, myrrh inhibited the expression of PCNA, COX-2, and Bcl-2 as well as increased Bax expression in gastric cancer cells. Conclusion: Myrrh may inhibit the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells, as well as induced their apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of COX-2.

MicroRNA-376c-3p was previous reported to have a crucial role in the progression of human cancer. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of microRNA-376c-3p on the proliferation and migration of human gastric cancer cells and the associated mechanism. We explored the expression of microRNA-376c-3p in gastric cancer cells using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Also, we analyzed the association and biological significance of microRNA-376c-3p and SYF2 pre-mRNA-splicing factor in gastric cancer. MicroRNA-376c-3p expression was found downregulated in gastric cancer cell lines compared to the normal cell line. MicroRNA-376c-3p directly targeted SYF2 and reduced SYF2 expression. Overexpression of microRNA-376c-3p inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. Besides that, overexpression of SYF2 abrogates the inhibitory influences on gastric cancer cell behaviors caused by microRNA-376c-3p mimic. These results showed that microRNA-376c-3p inhibits the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells via targeting SYF2.

Gastric cancer is the most common gastrointestinal tumor with an increasing incidence. Furthermore, advanced gastric cancer is more common, but the mechanism underlying the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer has not been thoroughly explored. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase 3 (METTL3) may be involved in the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer. Therefore, Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) in the Hippo pathway was selected as the target, and the relationship between METTL3 and the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer was proved through a series of experiments. This research showed that the expression of m6A and METTL3 was upregulated in human gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cell lines. After lentiviral transfection, METTL3 silencing in AGS (human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS) and MKN-45 (human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45) gastric cancer cell lines directly inhibited the proliferation, aggressiveness, and migration of gastric cancer cells. Mechanically, the inhibition of the YAP1-TEAD signaling pathway by peptide 17 reduces m6A methylation and the total mRNA level of YAP1. It also eliminates the promoting effect of METTL3 on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells. In turn, the overexpression of YAP1 eliminates the inhibitory effect of METTL3 silencing on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. This article proved that m6A methyltransferase METTL3 promoted the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells through the m6A modification of YAP1.
