摘要:

目的 探究G蛋白信号调节因子2(GPSM2)表达水平与胃癌患者临床进展的关系,并进一步分析其功能途径和作用机制。 方法 基于基因表达谱交互式分析(GEPIA)数据库和收治于本院的109例胃癌患者,分析GPSM2在肿瘤中的表达水平;公共数据库分析GPSM2对胃癌患者术后生存率的影响;生物信息学富集分析GPSM2在胃癌中的功能学途径及作用机制;体外培养MGC803细胞,敲低或过表达GPSM2,利用CCK-8实验、细胞克隆形成实验、流式细胞术和免疫印迹实验分析GPSM2对细胞增殖、迁移的影响及其作用机制,在体通过观察裸鼠移植瘤的大小分析GPSM2对肿瘤生长的影响。 结果 GEPIA数据库分析发现,在胃癌组织中GPSM2的表达高于正常组织;免疫组化染色发现,GPSM2在胃癌组织中的表达量升高(P<0.01);临床数据分析显示,当GPSM2高表达时,T3~4期、N2~3期、术前外周血癌胚抗原(CEA)≥5 μg/L和糖类抗原(CA19-9)≥37 kU/L的胃癌患者明显增多(P<0.05);单因素与Cox多因素联合分析证明,GPSM2蛋白表达量增加是影响胃癌患者术后5年生存率的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。基因本体论(GO)分析其生物学功能发现,GPSM2在胃癌中可能参与调控细胞周期(P<0.05)。体外细胞克隆形成实验和CCK-8实验发现GPSM2可加快MGC803细胞生长速度(P<0.05);通过免疫印迹与流式细胞技术发现,当GPSM2基因过表达时,将促进MGC803细胞从G1期向S期的转变(P<0.05),同时相关蛋白的表达也有所增加;裸鼠成瘤实验证明GPSM2促进移植瘤的生长;京都基因和基因组百科全书(KEGG)通路富集显示GPSM2可能通过调控p53信号通路发挥生物学功能(P<0.05);体内和体外免疫印迹实验结果表明,提升GPSM2的表达水平能抑制p53信号通路活性(P<0.05)。 结论 GPSM2在胃癌组织中呈现高表达,促进胃癌细胞增殖及G1/S期的转变,影响患者术后生存率,其作用机制可能与抑制p53信号通路有关。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the association between GPSM2 expression level and gastric cancer progression and analyze the functional pathways and action mechanism of GPSM2. Methods We analyzed GPSM2 expression levels in gastric cancer tumors based on data from the GEPIA database and the clinical data of 109 patients. Public databases enrichment analysis were used to assess the impact of GPSM2 expression level on survival outcomes and the functional pathways and action mechanism of GPSM2. We further observed the effects of GPSM2 knockdown and overexpression on proliferation, migration and apoptosis of MGC803 cells using CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry and immunoblotting and on the growth of MGC803 cell xenografts in nude mice. Results Bioinformatic analysis and immunohistochemical staining of the clinical specimens both revealed high GPSM2 expressions in gastric cancer (P<0.01). A high GPSM2 expression was significantly correlated with T3-4 stages, N2-3 stages, a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level ≥5 μg/L, and a carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 level ≥37 kU/L (P<0.05). Cox regression analysis identified high GPSM2 expression as an independent risk factor affecting 5-year survival of the patients (P<0.05). Gene ontology (GO) analysis suggested that GPSM2 was involved in cell cycle regulation. In MGC803 cells, GPSM2 overexpression significantly promoted cell proliferation and G1/S transition and xenograft growth in nude mice. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that GPSM2 executed its biological functions by regulating the p53 signaling pathway, which was confirmed by the results of immunoblotting experiments showing suppression of p53 signaling pathway activity in GPSM2-over expressing MGC803 cells. Conclusion GPSM2 is highly expressed in gastric cancer to affect patient prognosis by promoting tumor cell proliferation and G1/S transition possibly via inhibiting the p53 pathway.
