Floating cells with stem cell properties in gastric cell line SGC-7901.

چکیده
AIMS To obtain floating spheres from the adherent gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 and to analyze the properties of the spheres. METHODS Serum-free medium was applied to cultured SGC-7901 cells. Limiting dilution assay, tumor formation assay, microarray analysis, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR were used to test the stem cell properties of the spheres. RESULTS A subpopulation of SGC-7901 cells formed floating spheres in serum-free medium. These cells showed enhanced tumorigenic ability and also highly expressed certain stem-cell-associated proteins. CONCLUSIONS We successfully propagated floating spheres with stem cell properties in the SGC-7901 gastric cell line.

microRNA-32 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of the SGC-7901 gastric cancer cell line in vitro
microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenously expressed, small non-coding RNAs, which suppress their target mRNAs at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs play key roles in tumor metastasis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of miRNA-32 (miR-32) on the biological behavior of the human gastric cancer cell line, SGC-7901. SGC-7901 cells were transfected with miR-32-...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological and experimental carcinogenesis studies provide evidence that components of garlic (Allium sativum) have anticancer activity. Hepatocellular carcinoma is highly malignant and metastatic. Currently, there is no effective chemotherapy for patients with advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma leading to an urgent need to seek for novel therapeutic options. AIM To investigate...

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers and it remains difficult to cure, primarily because most cancer stem like cells possess higher capability of invasion and metastasis. Heparanase acts as a master regulator of the aggressive tumor phenotype in part by enhancing expression of proteins and activating signaling molecules. There were less associated with heparanase of molecular biolog...
متن کاملEffects of sufentanil on human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 in vitro
Sufentanil is a new kind of opioid analgesic and acts on μ opioid receptor. In this study, we aim to investigate the effects of sufentanil on gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901, after being exposed to different concentrations of sufentanil. Gastric cancer cells were exposed to sufentanil for a predetermined time at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 5, 50 and 500 nmol/l, respectively. Cell viability at d...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of 17‑AAG combined with salinomycin treatment on proliferation and apoptosis of the SGC‑7901 gastric cancer cell line. An MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of SGC‑7901 cells. Morphological alterations of cells were observed under inverted phase‑contrast and fluorescence microscopes. Cell cycle and apoptosis ...
