Abstract
Markers of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in gastric tumor tissues are associated with poor patient outcomes. We performed a screen to identify pharmacologic compounds that kill gastric cancer cells with EMT-associated gene expression patterns and investigate their mechanisms. We identified 29 gastric cancer cell lines with a gene expression signature previously associated with an EMT subtype, based on data from RNA sequence analyses, and confirmed the mesenchymal phenotypes of 7 lines (Hs746T, SNU1750, MKN1, SK4, SNU484, SNU668, and YCC11), based on invasive activity and protein markers. We screened 1,345 compounds for their ability to kill cells with the EMT signature compared with cell lines without this pattern. We tested the effects of identified compounds in BALB/c nude mice bearing GA077 tumors; mice were given intraperitoneal injections of the compound or vehicle (control) twice daily for 24 days and tumor growth was monitored. Proteins associated with the toxicity of the compounds were overexpressed in MKN1 and SNU484 cells or knocked down in MKN45 and SNU719 using small interfering RNAs. We performed immunohistochemical analyses of 942 gastric cancer tissues and investigated associations between EMT ma...Continue Reading
