Cytochemical Technique

The activities and distributions of AKPase ,ACPase,G6Pase,TPPase and COase in human normal gastric mucosa and gastric cancer tissues were studied histochemically at light microscopic level. These enzymes are the marker enzymes of cell membrane lysosome endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and mitochondrion objectively. On the basis of the research we set up a special ultrastructural cytochemical technique and first researched into gastric cancer domesticly. Ultrastructural cytochemistry is also called electron microscopic cytochemistry. This new technique possesses both the sensitivity of cytochemical reaction andi the high resolution of electron microscope. It is characterized by direct observation,exact localization and the combination morphology with function.The distributions of AKPase,ACPase,G6Pase,TPPase and COase in 14 cases of gastric cancer and 1 case of gastric Denign lesion were studied ultrastructurally. The results showed: 1. normal gastric epithelium had no AKPase reaction. The reaction of ACPase,G6Pase,TPPase and Coase were found in the corresponding organella, which were consistent with their function.

BACKGROUND: We have previously characterized esophageal carcinoma-related gene 4 (ECRG4) as a novel tumor suppressor gene, which is frequently inactivated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and breast cancer. Nevertheless, the expression status and prognostic significance of ECRG4 maintain elusive in human gastric cancer. Herein, we examined ECRG4 expression profile in gastric cancer and assessed its association with clinicopathological characteristics and patient survival. METHODS: Online data mining, real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were employed to determined ECRG4 expression at transcriptional and protein levels in tumors vs. noncancerous tissues. Statistical analyses including the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the Cox hazard model were utilized to detect the impact on clinical outcome. Moreover, ECRG4 expression was silenced in gastric cancer SGC7901 cells, and cell proliferation, colony formation and invasion assays were carried out. RESULTS: ECRG4 mRNA and protein levels were obviously downregulated in cancer tissues than noncancerous tissues. Statistical analyses demonstrated that low ECRG4 expression was found in 34.5% (58/168) of primary gastric cancer tissues, which was associated with higher histological grade (P= 0.018), lymph node metastasis (P= 0.011), invasive depth (P= 0.020), advanced tumor stage (P= 0.002) and poor overall survival (P< 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed ECRG4 expression is an independent prognostic predictor (P< 0.001). Silencing ECRG4 expression promoted gastric cancer cell growth and invasion. Western blot analysis revealed the anti-metastatic functions of ECRG4 by downregulating of E-cadherin and α-Catenin, as well as upregulating N-cadherin and Vimentin. CONCLUSIONS: Our observations reveal that ECRG4 expression is involved in gastric cancer pathogenesis and progression, and may serve as a candidate prognostic biomarker for this disease.

Purpose. Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. miRNAs play an important role in regulating gene expression by binding with 3 ′ -UTR of the target gene. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of miRNA-149 and FOXC1 in gastric cancer. Patients and Methods. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-149 and FOXC1 in gastric cancer tissues and cells. Human gastric cancer cell lines AGS and MKN28 were cultured and transfected with miR-149 overexpression plasmid and its control or FOXC1 siRNA and its control. The MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry, wound healing, transwell, and western blotting were performed to examine the function of miRNA-149 and FOXC1 in the development of gastric cancer. What is more, dual-luciferase assay and western blotting were used to demonstrated the relationship between miRNA-149 and FOXC1. Results. miRNA-149 was underexpressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells, while overexpression of miRNA-149 promoted cell apoptosis, retarded cell cycle, and inhibited proliferation and migration in AGS and MKN28 cells. In addition, we showed that miRNA-149 targeted FOXC1. What is more, FOXC1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells; the silencing of FOXC1 inhibited the biological function of AGS and MKN28 cells. Conclusion. miRNA-149 inhibits the biological behavior of gastric cancer by targeting FOXC1, providing a promising target in the treatment of human gastric cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are reportedly involved in gastric cancer development and progression. In particular, miR-219-5p has been reported to be a tumor-associated miRNA in human cancer. However, the role of miR-219-5p in gastric cancer remains unclear. In this study, we investigated for the first time the potential role and underlying mechanism of miR-219-5p in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human gastric cancer cells. miR-219-5p was found to be markedly decreased in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent tissues and normal gastric epithelial cells. miR-219-5p mimics or anti-miR-219-5p was transfected into gastric cancer cell lines to overexpress or suppress miR-219-5p expression, respectively. Results showed that miR-219-5p overexpression significantly decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. Conversely, miR-219-5p suppression demonstrated a completely opposite effect. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter assays indicated that miR-219-5p targeted the 3′-untranslated region of the liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1), a well-characterized oncogene. Furthermore, miR-219-5p inhibited the mRNA and protein levels of LRH-1. LRH-1 mRNA expression was inversely correlated with miR-219-5p expression in gastric cancer tissues. miR-219-5p overexpression significantly decreased the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in gastric cancer cells. Additionally, LRH-1 restoration can markedly reverse miR-219-5p-mediated tumor suppressive effects. Our study suggests that miR-219-5p regulated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human gastric cancer cells by suppressing LRH-1. miR-219-5p may be a potential target for gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract Human mutT homolog 1(MTH1), the oxidized dNTP pool sanitizer enzyme, has been reported to be highly expressed in various malignant tumors. However, the oncogenic role of MTH1 in gastric cancer remains to be determined. In the current study, we found that MTH1 was overexpressed in human gastric cancer tissues and cells. Using an in vitro MTH1 inhibitor screening system, the compounds available in our laboratory were screened and the small molecules containing 5-cyano-6-phenylpyrimidine structure were firstly found to show potently and specifically inhibitory effect on MTH1, especially compound MI-743 with IC50 = 91.44 ± 1.45 nM. Both molecular docking and target engagement experiments proved that MI-743 can directly bind to MTH1. Moreover, MI-743 could not only inhibit cell proliferation in up to 16 cancer cell lines, especially gastric cancer cells HGC-27 and MGC-803, but also significantly induce MTH1-related 8-oxo-dG accumulation and DNA damage. Furthermore, the growth of xenograft tumours derived by injection of MGC-803 cells in nude mice was also significantly inhibited by MI-743 treatment. Importantly, MTH1 knockdown by siRNA in those two gastric cancer cells exhibited the similar findings. Our findings indicate that MTH1 is highly expressed in human gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. Small molecule MI-743 with 5-cyano-6-phenylpyrimidine structure may serve as a novel lead compound targeting the overexpressed MTH1 for gastric cancer treatment.
