Identification of UAP1L1 as tumor promotor in gastric cancer through regulation of CDK6.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in digestive tract and its underlying molecular mechanism is still not clear, so we aimed to reveal the relationship between GC and UDP-GlcNAc pyrophosphorylase-1 like 1 (UAP1L1). The detection of UAP1L1 expression in GC tumor and normal tissues was accomplished by immunohistochemistry and demonstrated the upregulation of UAP1L1 in GC, which was statistically associated with tumor grade. GC cell models constructed via transfection of UAP1L1-silencing/overexpressing lentiviruses were employed for evaluating the effects of UAP1L1 knockdown/overexpression on GC in vitro and in vivo. The results indicated that UAP1L1 played important role in development of GC through regulating cell proliferation, colon
