RNAi‐mediated silencing of ezrin gene reverses malignant behavior of human gastric cancer cell line SGC‐7901

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of ezrin targeting gene of RNA interference (RNAi) on human gastric cancer cell line SGC‐7901 in vitro. METHODS: The highly metastatic human gastric cancer cell line SGC‐7901 transfected with a small interfering (siRNA) lentivirus vector was selected for this research study. Expressions of ezrin mRNA and ezrin protein in the SGC‐7901 cells were detected using RT‐PCR and Western blot. Cell apoptosis was observed using flow cytometry. Transwell invasion and the cell adhesion test were used to verify the effect of RNAi on ezrin expression in the human gastric cancer cell line SGC‐7901 in vitro. RESULTS: Ezrin gene targeting via a RNAi‐mediated lentivirus vector had obvious inhibitory effects on ezrin expression in the human gastric cancer cell line SGC‐7901. The results of the RT‐PCR show the obvious inhibition of ezrin mRNA expression in Eai and Ebi groups (0.22 ± 0.01 vs 0.95 ± 0.04, P < 0.05; 0.31 ± 0.01 vs. 0.95 ± 0.04, P < 0.05). Western blot analysis revealed a 72.35 ± 3.74% reduction of the ezrin protein level after interference with the ezrin targeting gene. Moreover, the inhibition of ezrin expression clearly inhibited SGC‐7901 cell migration and invasion, and improved cell adhesion as well as increased sensitivity to camptothecin‐induced apoptosis. CONCLUSION: Ezrin gene targeting by RNAi can inhibit the metastatic growth and migration of SGC‐7901 human gastric cancer cells.

AIM:To investigate the effects of small interfering RNA(siRNA)-mediated inhibition of Class Ⅰ phosphoinositide 3-kinase(Class Ⅰ PI3K) signal transduction on the proliferation,apoptosis,and autophagy of gastric cancer SGC7901 and MGC803 cells.METHODS:We constructed the recombinant replication adenovirus PI3K(I)-RNA interference(RNAi)-green fluorescent protein(GFP) and control adenovirus NCRNAi-GFP,and infected it into human gastric cancer cells.MTT assay was used to determine the growth rate of the gastric cancer cells.Activation of autophagy was monitored with monodansylcadaverine(MDC) staining after adenovirus PI3K(I)-RNAi-GFP and control adenovirus NC-RNAi-GFP treatment.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3).Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using the fluorescent probe JC-1.The expression of autophagy was monitored with MDC,LC3 staining,and transmission electron microscopy.Western blotting was used to detect p53,Beclin-1,Bcl-2,and LC3 protein expression in the culture supernatant.RESULTS:The viability of gastric cancer cells was inhibited after siRNA targeting to the Class Ⅰ PI3K blocked Class Ⅰ PI3K signal pathway.MTT assays revealed that,after SGC7901 cancer cells were treated with adenovirus PI3K(I)-RNAi-GFP,the rate of inhibition reached 27.48% ± 2.71% at 24 h,41.92% ± 2.02% at 48 h,and 50.85% ± 0.91% at 72 h.After MGC803 cancer cells were treated with adenovirus PI3K(I)-RNAiGFP,the rate of inhibition reached 24.39% ± 0.93% at 24 h,47.00% ± 0.87% at 48 h,and 70.30% ± 0.86% at 72 h(P < 0.05 compared to control group).It was determined that when 50 MOI,the transfection efficiency was 95% ± 2.4%.Adenovirus PI3K(I)RNAi-GFP(50 MOI) induced mitochondrial dysfunction and activated cell apoptosis in SGC7901 cells,and the results described here prove that RNAi of Class Ⅰ PI3K induced apoptosis in SGC7901 cells.The results showed that adenovirus PI3K(I)-RNAi-GFP transfection induced punctate distribution of     

Ectopic expression of guanylyl cyclase C in gastric cancer as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of guanylyl cyclase C (GCC) in human gastric cancer (GC) tissues and assess the effect of GCC small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the proliferation and apoptosis of SGC‐7901. METHODS: The expression of GCC in 30 specimens and three human GC cell lines (SGC‐7901, AGS, NCI‐N87) were detected by RT‐PCR for messenger RNA (mRNA) by Western blot and immunofluorescence for proteins. Recombinant plasmids containing GCC siRNA and scrambled siRNA were constructed and transfected into SGC‐7901 cells, respectively. A cell counting kit‐8, flow cytometry (FCM) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT)‐mediated dUTP‐biotin nick end‐labeling were used to evaluate cell viability, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis, followed by wound healing assay and cell adherent assay for cell motility and adherent, respectively. RESULTS: The expression of GCC was absent in paracancerous tissues, whereas the GCC mRNA and protein expressions were detected in 20/30 and 19/30 of GC specimens, respectively. Moreover, intestinal GC was statistically different from diffuse GC (P < 0.05). The proliferation of SGC‐7901 cells was markedly inhibited by GCC siRNA‐3 (P < 0.05) and cell morphological changes including volumetric reduction, karyopyknosis and karyorrhexis were observed. FCM showed that the cell count in the sub‐G0/G1 peak increased from 5.47% (48 h after transfection) to 5.63% (72 h after transfection). The wound healing assay and cell adherent assay revealed that GCC gene silencing decreased cell motility and adherent. CONCLUSION: The over‐expression of GCC has been detected in intestinal type GC. GCC siRNA can effectively inhibit the proliferation and invasion of SGC‐7901 cells and induce cell apoptosis. GCC might be a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.     

Nimesulide inhibits proliferation via induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line

AIM: To evaluate the potential role of Nimesulide, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, in proliferation and apoptosis of gastric adenocarcinoma cells SGC7901. METHODS: Cell counts and MTT assay were used to quantify the influence of Nimesulide in the proliferation of SGC7901 cells. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were used to observe the induction of Nimesulide the apoptosis of SGC7901 cells and influence in the distribution of cell cycle. The expression of P27(kip1) protein was observed by immunocytochemical staining. RESULTS: SGC-7901 Cells treated with Nimesulide at various concentrations exhibited a profound dose- and time-dependent reduction in the proliferation rate over the 72 h test period. The highest survival rate of the cells was 78.7 %, but the lowest being 22.7 %. Nimesulide induced apoptosis of the cells in a dose-dependent and non-linear manner and increased the proportion of cells in the G(0)/G(1) phase and decreased the proportion in the S and G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. Meanwhile, Nimesulide could up-regulate the expression of P27(kip1) protein. CONCLUSION: The induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest are both anti-proliferative responses that likely contribute to the antineoplastic action of nimesulide on SGC-7901 cells. The up-regulation of P27(kip1) gene may contribute to the accumulation of these cells in the G(0)/G(1) phase following treatment with Nimesulide. Selective COX-2 inhibitor may be a new channel of the chemoprevention and chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma.
