Success rate of current human-derived gastric cancer organoids establishment and influencing factors:A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Human-derived gastric cancer organoids(GCOs)are widely used in gastric cancer research;however,the culture success rate is generally low.AIM To explore the potential influencing factors,and the literature on successful culture rates of GCOs was reviewed using meta-analysis.METHODS PubMed,Web of Science,and EMBASE were searched for studies.Two trained researchers selected the studies and extracted data.STATA 17.0 software was used for meta-analysis of the incidence of each outcome event.The adjusted Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies scale was used to assess the quality of the included studies.Funnel plots and Egger’s test were used to detect publication bias.Subgroup analyses were conducted for sex,tissue source,histo-logical classification,and the pathological tumor-node-metastasis(pTNM)cancer staging system.RESULTS Eight studies with a pooled success rate of 66.6%were included.GCOs derived from women and men had success rates of 67%and 46.7%,respectively.GCOs from surgery or biopsy/endoscopic submucosal dissection showed success rates of 70.9%and 53.7%,respectively.GCOs of poorly-differentiated,moderately-differentiated and signet-ring cell cancer showed success rates of 64.6%,31%,and 32.7%,respectively.GCOs with pTNM stages I-II and III-IV showed success rates of 38.3%and 65.2%,respectively.Y-27632 and non-Y-27632 use showed success rates of 58.2%and 70%,respectively.GCOs generated with collagenase were more successful than those constructed with Liberase TH and TrypLE(72.1%vs 71%,respectively).EDTA digestion showed a 50%lower success rate than other methods(P=0.04).CONCLUSION GCO establishment rate is low and varies by sex,tissue source,histological type,and pTNM stage.Omitting Y-27632,and using Liberase TH,TrypLE,or collagenase yields greater success than EDTA.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression level and combined positive score can evaluate efficacy of advanced gastric cancer

BACKGROUND Although treatment options for gastric cancer(GC)continue to advance,the overall prognosis for patients with GC remains poor.At present,the predictors of treatment efficacy remain controversial except for high microsatellite instability.AIM To develop methods to identify groups of patients with GC who would benefit the most from receiving the combination of a programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1)inhibitor and chemotherapy.METHODS We acquired data from 63 patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative GC with a histological diagnosis of GC at the Cancer Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between November 2020 and October 2022.All of the patients screened received a PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy as the first-line treatment.RESULTS As of July 1,2023,the objective response rate was 61.9%,and the disease control rate was 96.8%.The median progression-free survival(mPFS)for all patients was 6.3 months.The median overall survival was not achieved.Survival analysis showed that patients with a combined positive score(CPS)≥1 exhibited an extended trend in progression-free survival(PFS)when compared to patients with a CPS of 0 after receiving a PD-1 inhibitor combined with oxaliplatin and tegafur as the first-line treatment.PFS exhibited a trend for prolongation as the expression level of HER2 increased.Based on PFS,we divided patients into two groups:A treatment group with excellent efficacy and a treatment group with poor efficacy.The mPFS of the excellent efficacy group was 8 months,with a mPFS of 9.1 months after excluding a cohort of patients who received interrupted therapy due to surgery.The mPFS was 4.5 months in patients in the group with poor efficacy who did not receive surgery.Using good/poor efficacy as the endpoint of our study,univariate analysis revealed that both CPS score(P=0.004)and HER2 expression level(P=0.015)were both factors that exerted significant influence on the efficacy of treatment the combination of a PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy in patients with advanced GC(AGC).Finally,multivariate analysis confirmed that CPS score was a significant influencing factor.CONCLUSION CPS score and HER2 expression both impacted the efficacy of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in AGC patients who were non-positive for HER2.

Synergistic anticancer properties of docosahexaenoic acid and 5-fluorouracil through interference with energy metabolism and cell cycle arrest in human gastric cancer cell line AGS cells

AIM: To explore the synergistic effect of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA)/5-fluorouracil(5-FU) on the human gastric cancer cell line AGS and examine the underlying mechanism.METHODS: AGS cells were cultured and treated with a series of concentrations of DHA and 5-FU alone or in combination for 24 and 48 h. To investigate the synergistic effect of DHA and 5-FU on AGS cells, the inhibition of cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay and cell morphology. Flow cytometric analysis was also used to assess cell cycle distribution, and the expression of mitochondrial electron transfer chain complexes(METCs)?Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅴ in AGS cells was further determined by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: DHA and 5-FU alone or in combination could markedly suppress the proliferation of AGS cells in a significant time and dose-dependent manner. DHA markedly strengthened the antiproliferative effect of 5-FU, decreasing the IC50 by 3.56-2.15-fold in an apparent synergy. The morphological changes of the cells were characterized by shrinkage, cell membrane blebbing and decreased adherence. Cell cycle analysis showed a shift of cells into the G0/G1 phase from the S phase following treatment with DHA or 5-FU(G0/G1 phase: 30.04% ± 1.54% vs 49.05% ± 6.41% and 63.39% ± 6.83%, respectively, P < 0.05; S phase: 56.76% ± 3.14% vs 34.75% ± 2.35% and 25.63% ± 2.21%, respectively, P < 0.05). Combination treatment of DHA and 5-FU resulted in a significantly larger shift toward the G0/G1 phase and subsequent reduction in S phase(G0/G1 phase: 69.06% ± 2.63% vs 49.05% ± 6.41% and 63.39% ± 6.83%, respectively, P < 0.05; S phase: 19.80% ± 4.30% vs 34.75% ± 2.35% and 25.63% ± 2.21%, respectively, P < 0.05). This synergy was also reflected in the significant downregulation of the expression of METCs in AGS cells.CONCLUSION: Synergistic anticancer properties of DHA and 5-FU may involve interference with energy production of AGS cells via downregulation of METCs and cell cycle arrest.

Objective:To explore the influence of silencing Bcl-2 expression by small interfering RNA（siRNA） on Bcl-2 protein expression,cell apoptosis rale and radiosensilivity of gastric cancer BCC823 cells.Methods:siRNA segment for Bcl-2 gene was designed and synthesized,then was induced into gastric cancer BGC 823 cells by liposome transfection.Bcl-2 protein expression was detected by Western Blotting.After X radiation,flow cytometry and clone forming assay were used to determine the effects of RNA interference on BGC823 cell apoptosis rate and radiosensitivity. Result:After the transfection of Bcl-2 siRNA,the positive expression rate of Bcl-2 protein in BGC823 cells was（35.45±2.35）%.Compared with the control group and negative siRNA transfection group,the rate was significantly decreased（P【0.01）.The apoptosis rate of BGC823-RNAi cell was（10.81±0.91）%,which was significantly higher than the control group and negative siRNA transfection group（P【0.01）.After 48h X radiation,the apoptosis rate of BGC823-RNAi was（28.91±1.40）%,which was significantly higher than the control group and the group without radiation （P【0.01）.During clone forming assay D0,D4 and SF2 values in Bcl-2 siRNA1 transfection group were all lower than those in the control group.The radiosensitivity ratio was 1.28（the ratio of D0） and 1.60（the ratio of D4）.Conclusions:Specific siRNA of Bcl-2 gene can effectively inhibit the expression of Bcl-2 gene,enhance the radiosensitivity and apoptosis of gastric cancer BGC823 cells,having good clinical application perspective.

Gastric cancer cell lines induced by trichostatin A

AIM： To explore the effect of trichostatin A （TSA） on apoptosis and acetylated histone H3 levels in gastric cancer cell lines BGC-823 and SGC-7901. METHODS： The effect of TSA on growth inhibition and apoptosis was examined by MTT, fluorescence microscopy and PI single-labeled flow cytometry. The acetylated histone H3 level was detected by Western blot. RESULTS： TSA induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cell lines BGC-823 and SGC-7901 was in a dose and time-dependent manner. Apoptotic cells varied significantly between TSA treated groups （37.5 ng/mL 72 h for BGC-823 cell line and 75 ng/mL 72 h for SGC-7901 cell line） and control group （0.85 ± 0.14 vs 1.14 ± 0.07, P = 0.02; 0.94 ± 0.07 vs 1.15 ± 0.06, P = 0.02）. Morphologic changes of apoptosis, including nuclear chromatin condensation and fluorescence strength, were observed under fluorescence microscopy. TSA treatment in BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cell lines obviously induced cell apoptosis, which was demonstrated by the increased percentage of sub-G1 phase cells, the reduction of Gl-phase cells and the increase of apoptosis rates in flow cytometric analysis. The result of Western blot showed that the expression of acetylated histone H3 increased in BGC-823 and SGC-7901 TSA treatment groups as compared with the control group.CONCLUSION： TSA can induce cell apoptosis in BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cell lines. The expression of acetylated histone H3 might be correlated with apoptosis.

Characterization of gastric cancer models from different cell lines orthotopically constructed using improved implantation techniques

AIM:To develop orthotopic gastric cancer mouse models from different cell lines and characterize the tumor features to assist further in preclinical trials and clinical treatment strategies.METHODS:Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 and BGC823 cell suspensions were injected subcutaneously into nude mice to develop solid tumors,and tumor tissue pieces were then implanted under the serous coat of the stomach.An autopsy was performed on all animals of the SGC-7901 and BGC-823 models to observe the primary tumor growth and metastases using pathological and immunohistochemical methods.RESULTS:Both models showed large tumors in situ resulting in pressure and infiltration of the adjacent organs.The gastric cavity became smaller,along with stenosis of the cardia or pylorus.There were biological and statistical differences between the two models.The metastasis rate in involved organs (lymph nodes,kidney,spleen,testis) was significantly higher in the BGC-823 model compared to the SGC-7901 model (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The median survival of the BGC-823 model was shorter than that of SGC-7901 (23 d vs 84 d,P < 0.05).Histopathologically,the primary tumor and metastatic lesions of the two models showed obvious atypia and mucus in the cytoplasm.Compared with the SGC-7901 model,BGC-823 appeared more poorly differentiated (absence of adenoid structure),had a smaller volume,and richer capillary structure.Immunohistochemical staining revealed cytokeratin 20 and epithelial membrane antigen expression was positive in the SGC-7901 tumors,while negative in BGC-823 ones.CONCLUSION:Models using the SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cell lines were established which could function in gastric cancer research on carcinogenesis mechanism and drug discovery.The two models showed different tumor behavior and the latter was more malignant than the former.

Apoptosis mechanisms of human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 infected with human mutant p27

AIM: To explore the inducing effect of human mutant p27 gene on the apoptosis of the human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 and its associated mechanisms. METHODS: The recombinant adenovirus Ad-p27mt was constructed to infect the human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45.

RESULTS: Ad-p27mt was successfully constructed and the infection efficiency reached 100%. After 18 h of infection, we observed an apoptotic hypodiploid peak on the flow cytometer before G1-S and apoptotic characteristic bands in the DNA electrophoresis. The apoptotic rate detected by TUNEL method was significantly higher in the Ad-p27mt group (89.4±3.12%)compared to the control group (3.12±0.13%, P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Human mutant p27 can induce apoptosis of the human gastric cancer cells in vitro.

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF TWEEN－80 IN COMBINATION WITH HYPERTHERMIA ON HUMAN STOMACH CANCER CELL LINE BGC－823

Various biological indices were used to observe the effects of Tween-80 in combination with hyperthermia at different temperature (39-43℃) for different period of time (20-100 minutes) on human stomach cell line BGC-823. The results showed that Tween-80obviously reduced the activation energy of BGC-823 cells. Synergistic effect was observed if applied with heat at 39℃ with the increase in temperature and time,the inhibitory effect on the cancer cells was gradually intensified. The lethal rate of BGC-823 cells treated by heat at 41℃ in combination with Tween-80 was around 5.2 times as that treated by hyperthermia alone. The synergistic effect of heat at 41℃ for 100 min. in combination with Tween-80 was equivalent to the effect of 43℃ for 100 min.In other words, the critical temperature for BGC-823 cells was hereby reduced about 2℃. The measurement of membrane mobility, SDH activity etc.also showed that at 41℃ the synergistic effect of hyperthermia in combination with Tween-80 was the best, it exceeding the single effect of these factors in combination and showing effect of multiplication. The synergistic effect of heat at 41℃ in combination with Tween-80 was higher than that of heat at 41℃ in combination with MMC. It also demonstrated that the specific and sustained action on the inhibition of cancer cells did exist. These studies suggested that the synergistic mechanism of Tween-80 and hyperthermia probably was that both of them acted on the cell membrane system.

Direct interaction between Rab5a and Rab4a enhanced epidermal growth factor-stimulated proliferation of gastric cancer cells

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide.Although targeted therapies such as antibodies against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 have been widely used in the treatment of metastatic cancer,the overall outcomes are poor.Therefore,elucidation of the mechanism underlying cancer progression is important to improve prognosis.Overexpression of the Rab5a gene has been confirmed to correlate with tumorigenesis of many cancers,but the mechanism underling,especially of GC,is still unclear.AIM To investigate the effects of Rab5a overexpression on the tumorigenesis of GC.METHODS First,the expression levels of Rab5a and Rab4a in primary tumorous tissues of GC patients diagnosed between 2015 and 2018 were analyzed.Then we constructed HGC-27 cell lines overexpressing green fluorescent protein-Rab5a or red fluorescent protein-Rab4a and investigated the interaction between Rab5a or Rab4a using Western blotting,co-immunoprecipitation,confocal microscopy,and colocalization analysis.Finally,epidermal growth factor-stimulated proliferation of these cell lines was analyzed using cell counting kit-8 cell viability assay.RESULTS Compared with normal gastric tissues,the expression levels of Rab5a and Rab4a increased progressively both in paracancerous tissues and in advanced cancerous tissues.Epidermal growth factor could promote the proliferation of HGC-27 cells,especially Rab5a-overexpressing HGC-27 cells.Notably,Rab5a and Rab4a cooverexpression promoted the proliferation of HGC-27 cells to the greatest extent.Further analysis identified a direct interaction between Rab5a and Rab4a in HGC-27 cells.CONCLUSION Co-overexpression of Rab5a and Rab4a in GC may promote the endosomal recycling of epidermal growth factor receptor,which in turn contributes to poor prognosis and tumor progression in GC patients.Inhibition of Rab5a or Rab4a expression might be a promising therapy for refractory GC.
