چکیده
BACKGROUND The role of insulin in the pathogenesis of cancer has been increasingly emphasized because of the high incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome and their correlated complication including cancer. This study aimed to explore the impact of insulin on chemoresistance to 5-fluorouracil in gastric cancer and the possible mechanisms. METHODS Tissue samples of gastric cancer and adjacent normal gastric mucosa from patients with or without obesity were performed immunohistochemical staining for P-glycoprotein. The follow-up was done after the surgical treatment. The effect of insulin on chemotherapeutic sensitivity of the three gastric cancer cell lines to 5-fluorouracil was evaluated by pre-incubation with insulin before administration of 5-fluorouracil. The expression of P-glycoprotein was determined by Western blotting. RESULTS P-glycoprotein were overexpressed in tissues from patients who suffered gastric cancer and were higher in those simultaneously suffered gastric cancer and obesity. Addition of 1 μM insulin remarkably promoted the proliferation of SGC7901, MKN45 and MKN28 cells and decreased the cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil. In addition, the expression of P-glycoprotein was upregulated in SGC7901, MKN45 and MKN28 cells. CONCLUSION Insulin improved the proliferation of gastric cancer cell lines and contributed to chemoresistance of gastric cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil which is likely to involve upregulation of P-glycoprotein.

This study aims to explore the role of the p53β isoform in fluorouracil-induced growth inhibition of MKN45 gastric cancer cells. A Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) assay was used to measure inhibition rates in gastric cancer cell cultures (lines MKN45 and SGC7901) treated with different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The abundance of p53β and p53 mRNA was measured using the nested reverse t...

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of death from cancer. In recent years, advances in cancer therapy have raised the specter of developing effective agents of high-impact diseases, like gastric cancer, which remains one of the major causes of cancer deaths in the world. Recently it has been demonstrated that vanadium compounds ex...

Arsenic sulfide (As4S4) is the main component of Realgar which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Previously we showed that As4S4 inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer cells through regulating nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) pathway. Here we explore the role of NFAT in gastric cancer. We showed that As4S4 inhibited the expression of NFATc1, NFATc3, and NFATc4, and ...

Backgrounds and Objectives: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) which is a derivative of vitamin A, exert fundamental effects on regulation of cell growth, differenation and apoptosis. Recently, resistance to cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil developed in gastric adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, we investigated the combination treatment of ATRA with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil ...
