Pathophysiological properties of CLIC3 chloride channel in human gastric cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Pathophysiological functions of chloride intracellular channel protein 3 (CLIC3) in human gastric cancer have been unclear. In the tissue microarray analysis using 107 gastric cancer specimens, CLIC3 expression was negatively correlated with pathological tumor depth, and the patients with lower expression of CLIC3 exhibited poorer prognosis. CLIC3 was expressed in the plasma membrane of cancer cells in the tissue. CLIC3 expression was also found in a human gastric cancer cell line (MKN7). In whole-cell patch-clamp recordings of the cells expressing CLIC3, NPPB-sensitive outwardly rectifying Cl- currents were observed. Cell proliferation was significantly accelerated by knockdown of CLIC3 in MKN7 cells. On the other hand, the proliferation was attenuated by exogenous CLIC3 expression in human gastric cancer cells (KATOIII and NUGC-4) in which endogenous CLIC3 expression is negligible. Our results suggest that CLIC3 functions as a Cl- channel in the plasma membrane of gastric cancer cells and that decreased expression of CLIC3 results in unfavorable prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Project description:To investigate the effect of chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) on the cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells.CLIC1 expression was evaluated in human gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and MGC-803 by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Four segments of small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting CLIC1 mRNA and a no-sense control segment were designed by bioinformatics technology. CLIC1 siRNA was selected using Lipofectamine 2000 and transfected transiently into human gastric cancer SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. The transfected efficiency was observed under fluorescence microscope. After transfection, mRNA expression of CLIC1 was detected with RT-PCR and Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression. Proliferation was examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium and apoptosis was detected with flow cytometry. Polycarbonate membrane transwell chamber and Matrigel were used for the detection of the changes of invasion and migration of the two cell lines.In gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and MGC-803, CLIC1 was obviously expressed and CLIC1 siRNA could effectively suppress the expression of CLIC1 protein and mRNA. Proliferation of cells transfected with CLIC1 siRNA3 was enhanced notably, and the highest proliferation rate was 23.3% (P = 0.002) in SGC-7901 and 35.55% (P = 0.001) in MGC-803 cells at 48 h. The G2/M phase proportion increased, while G0/G1 and S phase proportions decreased. The apoptotic rate of the CLIC1 siRNA3 group obviously decreased in both SGC-7901 cells (62.24%, P = 0.000) and MGC-803 cells (52.67%, P = 0.004). Down-regulation of CLIC1 led to the inhibition of invasion and migration by 54.31% (P = 0.000) and 33.62% (P = 0.001) in SGC-7901 and 40.74% (P = 0.000) and 29.26% (P = 0.002) in MGC-803. However, there was no significant difference between the mock group cells and the negative control group cells.High CLIC1 expression can efficiently inhibit proliferation and enhance apoptosis, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells in vitro. CLIC1 might be a promising target for the treatment of gastric cancer.
