Investigation of the sensitivities of distinct gastric cancer cells to parvovirus H‐1 induced cytotoxicity

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the sensitivities of distinct gastric cancer cells to parvovirus H‐1 induced cytotoxicity and the possible mechanism(s). METHODS: There were six distinct differentiated gastric cancer cell lines: HGC27 (undifferentiated), BGC823 (undifferentiated), MKN45 (poorly differentiated), AGS (poorly differentiated), SGC7901 (moderately differentiated) and MKN28 (well differentiated). The cell cycle distributions were measured by flow cytometry and the differential sensitivities of the six distinct gastric cancer cells after H‐1 virus infection were detected by MTT assay. RT‐PCR was used to detect viral NS1 gene expression in all six gastric cancer cell lines. RESULTS: The S phase ratios of HGC27, BGC823, MKN45, AGS, SGC7901 and MKN28 were 24.72%, 30.15%, 27.10%, 29.03%, 31.82% and 33.73%, respectively. HGC27 cells were sensitive to H‐1 virus induced cytotoxicity, followed by SGC7901 cells. MKN45 and AGS cells were moderately sensitive and MKN28 cells were insensitive. However, BGC823 cells were resistant to H‐1 virus induced cytotoxicity. The expressions of viral NS1 were higher in HGC27, BGC823, MKN45 and SGC7901 cells, and lower in AGS and MKN28 cells. CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivities of the distinct gastric cancer cells to H‐1 virus induced cytotoxicity were markedly different. In general, the poorly differentiated cells showed an enhanced sensitivity to H‐1 virus attack compared with well‐differentiated ones. The enhanced sensitivity of poorly versus well‐differentiated gastric cancer cells to H‐1 virus is related in part to the enhanced capacity of the former for NS1 protein production and accumulation. The undifferentiated BGC823 cells were resistant to H‐1 virus triggered cytotoxicity. It may further verify that not all tumor cells are sensitive to H‐1 virus lytic effects.     

Activation of Akt and ERK signalling pathways induced by etoposide confer chemoresistance in gastric cancer cells

AIMS: To identify whether phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular-regulated protein kinases signalling pathways are implicated in the chemoresistance of gastric cancer and to explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Gastric cancer cell lines SGC7901 and BGC823 were exposed to etoposide, Wortmannin+etoposide or PD98059+etoposide. Cell cycle distribution and cell apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry and Hoechst 33258 staining. Cells viability was determined by a colourimetric assay utilising 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). Akt activity was detected using non-radioactive immunoprecipitation-kinase assay. Western blotting was exploited to evaluate the level of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and expressions of c-Myc and p53 protein. RESULTS: Etoposide suppressed the viability of SGC7901 and BGC823 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner; PD98059 and Wortmannin were able to enhance the cytotoxicity of etoposide. The apoptotic levels of cells treated with Wortmannin+etoposide or PD98059+etoposide were significantly higher than those of cells treated with etoposide only. Phospho-ERK1/2, Akt activity and expression of c-Myc were significantly induced by etoposide in a time-dependent manner; moreover, there was a weak effect on the expression of p53 protein. Both Wortmannin and PD98059 elevated the level of p53 expression strikingly, however, only PD98059 suppressed the up-regulation trend of c-Myc expression induced by etoposide. CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy reagent activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular-regulated protein kinases signalling pathways, which decreased the chemotherapy sensitivity of gastric cancer cell lines SGC7901 and BGC823 via suppressing the expression of p53 and enhancing the expression of c-Myc. This may be one of the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer chemoresistance.     

Over-expression of FRZB in gastric cancer cell suppresses proliferation and induces differentiation

Purpose Frizzled motif associated with bone development (FRZB) was a member of secreted frizzled related proteins (sFRPs) family. Previous evidences showed that FRZB played role in embryogenesis and diseases such as osteoarthritis and prostate cancer. The purpose of our study is to clarify the role of FRZB in gastric cancer cell proliferation and differentiation. Methods The expression of FRZB in gastric cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of FRZB in eight gastric cancer cell lines and one immortal gastric epithelial cell GES-1 were detected by western blotting and real-time quantitative PCR. To investigate the role of over-expressed FRZB in gastric cancer cells, FRZB/pcDNA3.1 plasmid was constructed and transfected into gastric cancer cell line SGC7901. The changes of biological features in these stable transfectants were examined. Results FRZB was highly expressed in gastric cancer (90%), intestinal metaplasia (100%) and gastric dysplasia (90%), but no or just weakly (3/40) expressed in normal gastric mucosa. FRZB staining was stronger in intestinal-type gastric cancer tissues than that in diffuse-type ones and was positive correlated with differentiation grade. The expression of FRZB in eight gastric cancer cell lines was higher than in GES-1. Over-expressed FRZB inhibited cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo which was first caused by prolonged cell division progression in G2/M phase, and second by higher sensitivity to apoptotic inducing factors and spontaneous apoptosis. Our findings gave evidences that FRZB suppressed gastric cancer cell proliferation and modulated the balance between proliferation and differentiation in gastric cancer.

Expression of DCP1a in gastric cancer and its biological function and mechanism in chemotherapy resistance in gastric cancer cells

AimsTo detect the role of DCP1a in gastric cancer. To estimate the effect of DCP1a in gastric cancer cells on proliferation, invasion, migration and anti-drug behavior in vitro by down-regulating its expression.MethodsUsing IHC staining and Western blot to check the expression of DCP1a in tissues and the cell lines. SGC7901 and BGC823 cells were transfected with DCP1a siRNA, and the expression of DCP1a protein and mRNA were detected. The cell proliferation rate was detected by MTT assay and plate cloning assay. Transwell assay was used to detect the change of cell metastasis. The inhibition rates of cells to chemotherapy were detected by MTT assay. And signal pathways were also detected.ResultsThe expression of DCP1a in cancer tissues is higher (p < 0.05), and higher expression of DCP1a is related to poor prognosis. After down-regulating the expression of DCP1a in cells, the proliferation rates, migration abilities and chemotherapy resistance decrease. We find that the expression of MRP-1 and the activation of AKT and STAT3 pathways might be involved in regulation.ConclusionThe high expression of DCP1a might be associated with cancer development and prognosis. Down-regulating the expression of DCP1a will help to reduce chemotherapy resistance, which will help with further improvement of chemotherapy in gastric cancer.

miR-449a Regulates Proliferation and Chemosensitivity to Cisplatin by Targeting Cyclin D1 and BCL2 in SGC7901 Cells

Background

Recently, several miRNAs have been determined as tumor suppressors in various cancers, such as microRNA-449a. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying miR-449a regulated cell proliferation and chemosensitivity in gastric cancer cells have not been well documented.

Aim

The present study was designed to test whether miR-449a mediates cell proliferation and chemosensitivity in gastric cancer cells via regulating cyclin D1 and BCL2.

Methods

In vitro, the ability of cell proliferation and cell viability were measured by MTT assay; cell cycle and cell apoptosis was detected by FCM. qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-449a. Western blot and real-time PCR assays were used to detect the expression of cyclin D1 and BCL2 in gastric cancer cell line SGC7901.

Results

miR-449a expression was downregulated in gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 and human gastric cancer tissues, compared to the gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and matched non-tumor associated tissues. Upregulation of miR-449a reduced the proliferation of SGC7901 cells. Ectopic expression of miR-449a decreased the percentage of S phase cells, increased the percentage of G1/G0 phase cells and increased the apoptosis induced by cisplatin. Moreover, miR-449a inhibited SGC7901 cells proliferation and enhanced cisplatin chemosensitivity by downregulating expression of BCL2 and cyclin D1, respectively, via directly targeting the 3′-untranslated regions of BCL2 and cyclin D1 mRNA.

Conclusions

This is the first report to provide evidence that miR-449a could modulate cell cycle and apoptosis through regulating cyclin D1 and BCL2 expression in SGC7901 cells.
