Abstract: | AIM To explore expression of angiopoietin-like protein 2(ANGpT L2) and its effect on biological behavior such as proliferation and invasiveness in gastric cancer. METHODS Western blotting was used to detect expression of ANGp TL2 in 60 human normal gastric tissues, 60 human gastric cancer tissues and gastric cell lines including GES-1, N87, SGC7901, BGC823 and pA MC82. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) and Transwell assay were used to detect the proliferation and invasive ability of gastric cancer cells. RESULTS Compared to normal tissues, ANGp TL2 protein levels were significantly upregulated in gastric tissues, and this level was closely correlated with gastric tumor grade, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. Compared to GES-1 cells, ANGpT L2 mR NA and protein levels were significantly increased in gastric cancer cells including N87, SGC7901, BGC823 and p AMC82. The expression of ANGpT L2 in highly malignant gastric cancer cell lines BGC823 and pA MC82 was significantly higher than in low malignancy gastric cancer cell lines N87 and SGC7901. MTT and Transwell experiments indicated that the proliferation rate and invasive ability of stable overexpressed gastric cancer cells was faster than in cells transfected with Lv-NC and blank controlcells, and the invasive ability of stable overexpressed gastric cancer cells was higher than that of cells transfected with Lv-NC and blank control cells.CONCLUSION ANGp TL2 contributed to proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells. In clinical treatment, ANGpT L2 may become a new target for treatment of gastric cancer. |
