Tumor protein D52-like 2 accelerates gastric cancer cell proliferation in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Tumor protein D52-like 2 (TPD52L2) has been commonly described as a protein involved in tumorigenesis, according to its name. However, its pathological function remains under investigation. In the present study, TPD52L2 was found to be widely expressed in several gastric cancer cell lines. An efficient knockdown of TPD52L2 by a specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) loaded in lentivirus resulted in a remarkable reduction in cell proliferation in both MGC80-3 and SGC-7901 cell lines with high TPD52L2 expression, but a slight or little reduction in the proliferation of MKN-28 and AGS cells with low TPD52L2 expression. Further analysis by flow cytometry revealed that the cell cycle was primarily blocked in the G0/G1 phase, especially in the sub-G1 phase by TPD52L2 silencing, implying its possible roles in cell cycle control and apoptosis. Knockdown of TPD52L2 caused a cleavage of PARP in MGC80-3 cells. Their study suggests that TPD52L2 might promote gastric carcinogenesis, and could be a promising target with respect to developing new therapeutic strategies to treat gastric cancer.

Project description: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.
