Gastric Cancer Cell Lines

ABSTRACT: Regions of recurrent genomic amplification and deletion are frequently observed in primary gastric cancers (GC). However, identifying specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes within these regions can be challenging, as they often cover tens to hundreds of genes. Here, we combined high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) with gene expression profiling to target genes lying within focal high-level amplifications in GC cell lines, and identified RAB23 as an amplified and overexpressed Chr 6p11p12 gene in Hs746T cells. High RAB23 protein expression was also observed in some lines lacking RAB23 amplification, suggesting additional mechanisms besides gene amplification for up-regulating RAB23. siRNA silencing of RAB23 reduced the invasive potential of both amplif
