AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how baicalein (BAI) affects autophagy in the gastric cancer cell line MGC-803.
- Treatment with various concentrations of BAI showed a significant reduction in cell proliferation over time.
- BAI induced increased autophagy markers (like LC3 and P62) and decreased activity of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in these cancer cells.
Article Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of baicalein (BAI) on autophagy in gastric cancer cell line MGC-803. Methods MGC-803 cells were treated with 0, 5, 15, 25, 50 μmol/L BAI for 24, 48, 72 hours. The proliferation activity of MGC-803 cells was detected by MTT assay. Acridine orange (AO) staining combined with immunofluorescence cytochemical staining was performed to observe the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and P62 to determine autophagy in MGC-803 cells. The protein levels of LC3, P62, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), AKT, and p-AKT were detected by Western blot analysis. Results Compared with the control group, BAI significantly inhibited the proliferation of MGC-803 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. BAI-treated MGC-803 cells showed a significant increase in acid lysosomes and increased LC3 expression. BAI treatment significantly decreased phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT proteins, increased the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and up-regulated the expression of P62 protein. Conclusion Baicalein could inhibit PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and induce autophagy in MGC-803 cells.

In this study, a homogeneous polysaccharide, named YDOP-1 was isolated form Dendrobium officinale using hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation method. YDOP-1 was characterized to be a typical O-acetyl-glucomannan with the molecular wight was 13,456 Da. Cell viability and colony forming assay showed that YDOP-1 possess moderate anti-gastric cancer effects.

Background: Although there have been significant advancements in the treatment modalities for gastric cancer (GC) in recent years, the overall prognosis remains poor, particularly for individuals in advanced stages. The absence of a sensitive tumor marker in GC is a crucial factor contributing to this challenge.
Methods: Our study focused on investigating a newly discovered long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) known as TCONS_00251376, which has been confirmed to exhibit differential expression in GC compared to adjacent tissues.

Objective: To investigate the role of sphingosine kinase-1 (SPHK1) in regulating migration and invasion of gastric cancer (GC) cells.
Methods: TIMER2.0, GEPIA and HPA databases were used to investigate SPHK1 expression in GC, and its association with prognosis of the patients was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Plotter database.

Objective: To investigate the correlation of CEP192 expression with prognosis of gastric cancer and biological behaviors of gastric cancer cells.
Methods: Public databases and clinical tissue samples were used to examine CEP192 expression level in gastric cancer. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, ROC curves and bioinformatics analyses were used to explore the risk factors affecting the 5-year postoperative survival, the correlation of CEP192 expression level with the patients' survival, and its biological role in gastric cancer development.
