Project description:In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of TREM2 in gastric cancer, deep sequencing to profile global gene expression of MGC-803 cells with TREM2 overexpression was performed.
Project description:The transcription factor Sox2 inhibits human gastric cancer growth and activates Sox2-related tumor surpressive genes in human gastric cancer cells. Conditional Sox2-overexpression in cells with a low Sox2 level demonstrated that the Sox2-regulated tumor surpressive genes demand on an enhanced Sox2 activity for better expression to work in human gastric cancer. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of Sox2 together with chromatin profiling by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that Sox2 directly activates the chromatin at promoters or putative enhancers of Sox2 target genes.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins and their mediated alternative splicing play important roles in tumor cell invasion and migration. Here, we report that ESRP1 is a key regulator of gastric cancer cell metastasis. Overexpression of ESRP1 inhibits the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells, in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we found that ESRP1 causes a wide range of alternative splicing events, and ESRP1-mediated CLSTN1 exon skipping may be a key mechanism for its inhibition of gastric cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Taken together, our data provide a molecular framework for the role of ESRP1 in gastric cancer development.
Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant cancers in the world. c-Myc, a well-known oncogene, is commonly amplified in many cancers, including gastric cancer. However, it is still not completely understood how c-Myc functions in GC. Here, we generated a stomach-specific c-Myc knock-in mouse model to investigate its role in GC. We found that overexpression of c-Myc in Atp4b+ gastric parietal cells could induce intestinal-type gastric cancer in mice. Mechanistically, c-Myc promoted tumorigenesis via the AKT/mTOR pathway. Furthermore, AKT inhibitor (MK-2206) or mTOR inhibitor (Rapamycin) inhibited the proliferation of c-Myc overexpressing gastric cancer cell lines. Thus, our findings highlight that gastric cancer can be induced by c-Myc overexpression through activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway.
Project description:To identify candidate downstream target genes of SOX2 in gastric cancer cells, we transiently expressed exogenous SOX2 in a gastric cancer cell line NUGC3 and analyzed significant changes of gene expression.
Project description:This study propose HOXC10 overexpression by reduced DNA methylation promotes gastric cancer progression through regulation of CST1 and S100P.
Project description:To identify candidate downstream target genes of SOX2 in gastric cancer cells, we transiently expressed exogenous SOX2 in a gastric cancer cell line NUGC3 and analyzed significant changes of gene expression. NUGC3 cells were infected with the optimum 20 MOI (infectious units/cell) of SOX2- or control GFP-expressing adenoviral vectors. At 72 h after infection, the cells were harvested for cDNA microarray analysis.
Project description:Analysis of BGC-823 gastric cancer cells with SIRT1 overexpression or knockdown. SIRT1, a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase, exerts inhibitory effects on migration and invasion of gastric cancer. Results provide insight into the role of SIRT1 in the metastasis of gastric cancer.
