Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play either oncogenic or tumor suppressive roles in gastric cancer (GC). A previous study demonstrated that circ_002059, a typical circRNA, was downregulated in GC tissues. However, the role and mechanism of circ_002059 in GC development are still unknown. In this study, the levels of circ_002059, miR-182, and metastasis suppressor-1 (MTSS1) were examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. Cell proliferation and migration were evaluated by MTT assay and Transwell migration assay, respectively. The interactions between miR-182 and circ_002059 or MTSS1 were analyzed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. A GC xenograft model was established to validate the role of circ_002059 in GC progression in vivo. Overexpression of circ_002059 significantly inhibited, whereas knockdown of circ_002059 notably facilitated, cell proliferation and migration in GC cells. MTSS1 was found to be a direct target of miR-182 and circ_002059 upregulated MTSS1 expression by competitively sponging miR-182. Transfection with miR-182 mimic and MTSS1 silencing abated the inhibitory effect of circ_002059 on GC progression. Circ_002059 inhibited GC cell xenograft tumor growth by regulating miR-182 and MTSS1 expression. Collectively, Circ_002059 inhibited GC cell proliferation and migration in vitro and xenograft tumor growth in mice, by regulating the miR-182/MTSS1 axis.

This study aimed to investigate the expression and cellular function of the centromeric family of proteins (CENPs), especially centromere protein I (CENP-I), in gastric cancer (GC) and identified its clinical significance and cellular functions. CENP-I expression in GC was studied by cDNA microarray, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), UALCAN, and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Microarray and bioinformatic analyses identified upregulated CENP-A/E/F/H/I/K/P/W and HJURP in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), but not in signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Significantly higher CENP-I mRNA expression was also confirmed in 40 pairs of GC tissues than in paired normal gastric tissues by qRT-PCR ( P<.001). IHC showed that elevated CENP-I expression was associated with higher tumor stage, lymph node invasion, increased HER2-positive rate (36.7% vs 10.0%), and intestinal Lauren classification in 69 GC samples compared to paired paracancerous normal tissues. The survival of the high-CENP-I group members was poor compared with that of the low-CENP-I group ( P = .0011). Cox univariate regression analysis identified tumor size ( P = .008), HER2 status ( P = .027), and CENP-I expression ( P = .049) were independent prognostic factors of GC. The cellular function of CENP-I was studied in MKN45 and MKN28 GC cell lines in vitro. Cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were determined using CCK-8, transwell assay, TUNEL assay, and flow cytometry. Our results showed that CENP-I promoted GC cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, facilitated cell migration, and induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), possibly by activating the AKT pathway. CENP-I expression was correlated with genetic signatures of the proliferative subtype of GC, characterized by intestinal Lauren classification, HER2 amplification, and TP53 mutation. In conclusion, this study revealed an elevated CENP-I expression in GC, which was associated with malignant features and poor prognosis of GC patients, and identified its function in modulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration.

Abstract MiR-301a is as an oncogene involved in the regulation of gastric cancer (GC) progression, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study was to explore the lncRNA PCAT18/miR-301a/TP53INP1 axis in regulating the GC cell proliferation and metastasis. In the present study, GC tissues and cell lines were collected for the detection of PCAT18 expression. Herein, we found that PCAT18 is significantly decreases in human GC tissues and five GC cell lines. Overexpression of PCAT18 inhibits cell viability, invasion and migration of GC cells and tumour growth of GC xenograft tumours. PCAT18 negatively regulates the expression level of miR-301a. The interaction between PCAT18 and miR-301a is confirmed by RIP and RNA pull down. MiR-301a mimic increases cell viability and promotes cell migration and invasion and reverses the inhibitory action of PCAT18. TP53INP1 expression is negatively regulated by miR-301a and TP53INP1/miR-301a is involved in GC viability, migration and invasion. The promoting of PCAT18 on TP53INP1 expression is abolished by miR-301a overexpression. In conclusion, lncRNA PCAT18 acts as a tumour suppressor for GC and lncRNA PCAT18, miR-301a and TP53INP1 comprise a signal axis in regulating GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion.
