Demethylzeylasteral inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion through FBXW7/c-Myc axis in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most familiar malignancy in the digestive system. Demethylzeylasteral (Dem), a natural functional monomer extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, shows anti-tumor effects in a variety of cancers, including GC, however, with the underlying mechanism poorly understood. In our study, we show that Dem inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells, which are mediated by down-regulating c-Myc protein levels. Mechanistically, Dem reduces the stability of c-Myc by up-regulating FBXW7, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Moreover, in xenograft tumor model experiment, Dem also inhibits GC, which depends on suppressing c-Myc expression. Finally, Dem enhances GC cell chemosensitivity to the combination treatment of 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) and doxorubicin (DOX) in vitro. Together, Dem exerts anti-neoplastic activities through destabilizing and suppressing c-Myc, establishing a theory foundation for using it in future treatment of GC.

TRIP13 promotes the cell proliferation, migration and invasion of glioblastoma through the FBXW7/c-MYC axis.

Project description:BackgroundThyroid hormone receptor interactor 13 (TRIP13) is an AAA + ATPase that plays an important role in the mitotic checkpoint. TRIP13 is highly expressed in various human tumours and promotes tumorigenesis. However, the biological effect of TRIP13 in GBM cells remains unclear.MethodsWe generated GBM cell models with overexpressed or silenced TRIP13 via lentivirus-mediated overexpression and RNAi methods. The biological role of TRIP13 in the proliferation, migration and invasion of GBM cells has been further explored.ResultsOur research indicated that TRIP13 was highly expressed in GBM tissues and cells. We found that the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities were inhibited in TRIP13-knockdown GBM cells. These results indicated that TRIP13 plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of GBM. Moreover, we found that TRIP13 first stabilised c-MYC by inhibiting the transcription of FBXW7, which is an E3 ubiquitin ligase of c-MYC, by directly binding to the promoter region of FBXW7. Therefore, our study indicated that the TRIP13/FBXW7/c-MYC pathway might provide a prospective therapeutic target in the treatment of GBM.ConclusionsThese results indicated that TRIP13 plays an oncogenic role in GBM. The TRIP13/FBXW7/c-MYC pathway might act as a prospective therapeutic target for GBM patients.

Lycorine hydrochloride inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis through promoting FBXW7-MCL1 axis in gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundLycorine hydrochloride (LH), an alkaloid extracted from the bulb of the Lycoris radiata, is considered to have anti-viral, anti-malarial, and anti-tumorous effects. At present, the underlying mechanisms of LH in gastric cancer remain unclear. MCL1, an anti-apoptotic protein of BCL2 family, is closely related to drug resistance of tumor. Therefore, MCL1 is considered as a potential target for cancer treatment.MethodsThe effect of LH on gastric cancer was assessed in vitro (by MTT, BrdU, western blotting…) and in vivo (by immunohistochemistry).ResultsIn this study, we showed that LH has an anti-tumorous effect by down-regulating MCL1 in gastric cancer. Besides, we unveiled that LH reduced the protein stability of MCL1 by up-regulating ubiquitin E3 ligase FBXW7, arrested cell cycle at S phase and triggered apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. Meanwhile, we also demonstrated that LH could induce apoptosis of the BCL2-drug-resistant-cell-lines. Moreover, PDX (Patient-Derived tumor xenograft) model experiment proved that LH combined with HA14-1 (inhibitor of BCL2), had a more significant therapeutic effect on gastric cancer.ConclusionsThe efficacy showed in our data suggests that lycorine hydrochloride is a promising anti-tumor compound for gastric cancer.

MicroRNA-561 inhibits gastric cancercell proliferation and invasion by downregulating c-Myc expression.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) causes nearly one million deaths worldwide each year. However, the molecular pathway of GC development remains unclear. Increasing evidences have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are highly associated with tumor development. However, relative little is known about the potential role of miRNAs in gastric cancer development. In the present study, we showed that miR-561 was down-regulated frequently in human GCs cell lines and tissues, and its expression was associated with tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stage. Enforced expression of miR-561 in GC cells inhibited cell proliferation and invasion in vitro. In contrast, knockdown of miR-561 had the opposite effect on cell proliferation and invasion. Moreover, c-Myc was identified as a potential miR-561 target. Further studies confirmed that miR-561 suppressed the expression of c-Myc by directly binding to its 3'-untranslated region. Restoration of c-Myc in miR-561-overexpressed GC cells reversed the suppressive effects of miR-561 and c-Myc was inversely correlated with miR-561 expression in GC tissues. These results demonstrate that miR-561 acts as a novel tumor suppressor in GC by targeting c-Myc gene and inhibiting GC cells proliferation and invasion. These findings contribute to current understanding of the functions of miR-561 in GC.

PLCD3 inhibits apoptosis and promotes proliferation, invasion and migration in gastric cancer.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a heterogeneous disease whose development is accompanied by alterations in a variety of pathogenic genes. The phospholipase C Delta 3 enzyme is a member of the phospholipase C family, which controls substance transport between cells in the body. However, its role in gastric cancer has not been discovered. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression and mechanism of action of PLCD3 in connection to gastric cancer. By Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry, PLCD3 mRNA and protein expression levels were measured, with high PLCD3 expression suggesting poor prognosis. In N87 and HGC-27 cells, the silencing of PLCD3 using small interfering RNA effectively induced apoptosis and inhibited tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Conversely, overexpression of PLCD3 using overexpressed plasmids inhibited apoptosis in AGS and BGC-823 cells and promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion. In order to investigate the underlying mechanisms, we conducted further analysis of PLCD3, which indicates that this protein is closely related to the cell cycle and EMT. Additionally, we found that overexpression of PLCD3 inhibits apoptosis and promotes the development of GC cells through JAK2/STAT3 signaling. In conclusion, PLCD3 inhibits apoptosis and promotes proliferation, invasion, and migration, which indicated that PLCD3 might serve as a therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

Downregulated RRS1 inhibits invasion and metastasis of BT549 through RPL11‑c‑Myc‑SNAIL axis.

Project description:Regulator of ribosome synthesis 1 (RRS1) is a key factor in ribosome biosynthesis and other cellular functions. High level of RRS1 in breast cancer cell lines is associated with increased cell proliferation, invasion and migration. RRS1 controls the assembly of the 60s subunit and maturation of 25S rRNA during ribosome biosynthesis. In this study, lentiviral transfection of sh‑RNA was used to knock down the level of RRS1, to detect the effect of RRS1 on cell function and to explore the specific mechanism of RRS1 affecting cell invasion and metastasis by COIP and dual‑luciferase reporter gene assays. The present study found that RRS1 knockdown reduced the accumulation of ribosome protein L11 (RPL11) in the nucleolus, which then migrated to the nucleoplasm and bound to c‑Myc. This inhibited trans‑activation of SNAIL by c‑Myc and eventually decreased the invasion and metastasis capacity of the human breast cancer cell line BT549. Taken together, RRS1 regulates invasion and metastasis of human breast cancer cells through the RPL11‑c‑Myc‑SNAIL axis. The findings are of great significance for exploring the mechanism of breast cancer invasion and metastasis and the corresponding regulatory factors.

MicroRNA-103a inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion by targeting c-Myb.

Project description:ObjectivesThere have been no previous reports concerning functions of miR-103a in gastric cancer (GC) cells. Thus the aim of the study was to investigate its expression and role in development of this tumour.Materials and methodsReal-time RT-PCR was performed to detect expression of miR-103a in GC cell lines and clinical cancer specimens. To further understand its role, we restored expression of miR-103a in MGC-803 cell line by transfection with miR-103a mimics or inhibitors. Effects of miR-103a on cell proliferation, migration and invasion on targets were also determined.ResultsmiR-103a was down-regulated in both GC cell lines and clinical cancer specimens. Meanwhile, its level was closely associated with pM or pTNM stage of GC. Overexpression of miR-103a markedly suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells, while its inhibition significantly accelerated cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Moreover, c-Myb was identified to be a functional downstream target of miR-103a, ectopic expression of which partially reversed suppression of cell proliferation and invasion.ConclusionsThus our observations suggest that miR-103a functioned as a tumour suppressor by targeting c-Myb. These findings indicate that miR-103a might play a significant role in pathogenesis of GC.

MECP2 promotes the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by modulating the Notch1/c-Myc/mTOR signaling pathways by suppressing FBXW7 transcription.

Project description:Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2), an epigenetic regulatory factor, promotes the carcinogenesis and progression of a number of cancers. However, its role in the migration and invasion of gastric cancer (GC), as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms, remain unclear. In this study, we found that MECP2 promoted the migration, invasion and metastasis of GC cells. Investigation of the molecular mechanism revealed that MECP2 repressed F-box and WD40 domain protein 7 (FBXW7) transcription in GC by binding to the methylated CpG sites in the FBXW7 promoter region. MECP2 expression was markedly negatively correlated with the FBXW7 level in GC tissues. FBXW7 expression was significantly downregulated in GC tissues and cell lines, and low FBXW7 expression was correlated with unfavorable clinicopathologic features. FBXW7 inhibited cell migration and invasion by regulating the Notch1/c-Myc/mTOR signaling pathways, and knockdown of FBXW7 reversed the effects of silencing MECP2. Moreover, MECP2 upregulated the Notch1/c-Myc/mTOR signaling pathways by inhibiting FBXW7 expression at the transcriptional level. This study demonstrates that MECP2 promotes the migration and invasion of GC cells by modulating the Notch1/c-Myc/mTOR signaling pathways via suppression of FBXW7 transcription. These findings suggest that MECP2 may be a novel effective therapeutic target in GC.

Cir-ITCH inhibits gastric cancer migration, invasion and proliferation by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are differentially expressed in various tumours, but the expression and regulatory mechanisms of circular RNA ITCH (cir-ITCH) in gastric cancer remain unclear. For this reason, in the present study, we assessed the expression of cir-ITCH and the associated regulatory mechanism of cir-ITCH in gastric cancer. Through RTq-PCR assays, we observed that cir-ITCH expression was attenuated in gastric cancer cell lines and tissues, with cir-ITCH expression in gastric cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis being considerably lower than that observed in gastric cancer tissues without lymph node metastasis. In addition, we demonstrated that cir-ITCH or linear ITCH may be a useful marker for gastric cancer prognosis by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. We also showed that cir-ITCH overexpression could increase linear ITCH expression through miR-17 via RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro experimental results showed that cir-ITCH can act as a tumour suppressor to prevent gastric cancer tumourgenesis by sponging miR-17. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a crucial role during the carcinogenesis of cancers, and we observed that cir-ITCH could negatively regulate Wnt/β-catenin signalling, which could be restored by miR-17. In summary, cir-ITCH was shown to prevent gastric cancer tumourgenesis through the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway by sequestering miR-17.

circSLC30A7 Inhibits Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Proliferation via the miR-767-5p/FBXW7/NOTCH1 Axis.

Project description:Circular RNAs, noncoding RNAs, have attracted much attention in various human tumor research fields. They regulate the development of various human cancers via microRNA sponges. This study aimed to assess the molecular mechanism of circSLC30A7 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In our study, we identified that circSLC30A7 was significantly downregulated in HCC cell lines and tissues. Furthermore, gain and loss function experiments were conducted to elucidate the biological functions of circSLC30A7 in HCC cell lines. Mechanistically, circSLC30A7 sponged miR-767-5p, inhibiting the expression of its downstream protein, FBXW7. In summary, this study revealed that circSLC30A7 is an essential tumor suppressor that inhibits HCC tumorigenesis through the miR-767-5p/FBXW7/NOTCH1 axis. Taken together, circSLC30A7 reduces HCC malignancy and can be a biomarker for HCC management.
