Aim: To study the effects of LY294002, an inhibitor of class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), on proliferation and apoptosis of SGC7901 gastric cancer cells.
Methods: The MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxic effects of LY294002. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry and apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry analysis after staining DNA with propidium iodide. Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using the fluorescent probe JC-1. Expression of p53 and PUMA was determined using real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis.
Results: The viability of SGC7901 cells was significantly reduced by LY294002 treatment. Expression of p53 and PUMA was induced, and mitochondrial membrane potential collapsed after treatment with LY294002. LY294002 induced apoptotic cell death.
Conclusion: Activation of the p53 pathway is involved in LY294002-induced SGC7901 cell death.

: Gastric cancer (GC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. C118P, a microtubule inhibitor with anti-angiogenic and vascular-disrupting activities, was proven to be cytotoxic to various cancer cell lines. This study aimed to explore the anti-tumor effect of C118P against gastric cancer and identify its potential target.

Wogonin is a compound extracted from the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Geogi and has been found to exert antitumor activities in a variety of malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the anti-gastric cancer (GC) effects of wogonin remain poorly understood. In the present study, we found that wogonin treatment inhibited the proliferation of GC cells, induced apoptosis and G0/G1 cell arrest, and suppressed the migration and invasion of SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells in vitro.

In this work, we utilized the N-benzylaryl derivative 9 as a lead compound and employed the molecular hybridization strategy by introducing cinnamoyl fragments to successfully design and synthesize 33 novel N-benzylaryl cinnamide derivatives 15a∼15 ag. The in vitro antiproliferative activities were explored, and the preliminary analysis and summary of their structure-activity relationship were conducted. The majority of the compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory potency on MGC-803, HCT-116 and KYSE450 cells with IC values below 0.
