Objective: To investigate Serpin B1 expression in different differentiated gastric carcinoma tissues and cells and its influence on gastric carcinoma cell invasion and to analyze its mechanisms.
Methods: Western blot method was employed for detection of Serpin B1 expression in gastric carcinoma tissue, adjacent tissues and gastric carcinoma cell lines; siRNA was synthesized specific to Serpin B1 and then transfected into gastric carcinoma cell lines BGC823; cell wound healing assay and Transwell chamber invasion assay were used to observe the influence of Serpin B1-siRNA after being transfected into gastric carcinoma cells BGC823 on invasion and migration activity; expression changes in the invasion and migration-related protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, ICAM-1 and TIMP-1 were detected before and after transfection.
Results: Serpin B1 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and cells was significantly higher than the expression in adjacent tissues, and it was significantly increased (P<0.01) with decreasing degree of differentiation. Serpin B1-siRNA after transfection into BGC823 cells significantly inhibited Serpin B1 expression, and the inhibitory effect was the most obvious in the dose concentration of 80 nmol/L and the action time of 48 hours. Serpin B1-siRNA obviously inhibited the invasion and migration activity of gastric carcinoma cell line BGC823. In 48h after Serpin B1-siRNA was transfected into the gastric carcinoma cell line BGC823, the invasion-associated protein expression of MMP-2, of MMP-9, ICAM-1 and the mRNA as well as protein expression and activity were significantly lowered, while TIMP-1 mRNA and protein expression were significantly enhanced.
Conclusions: There are different Serpin B1 expressions in different differentiated gastric carcinoma tissues and cells. Reduced invasion and migration activity of Serpin B1-siRNA after transfection into gastric carcinoma cells may be caused by regulation of balance among the ICAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-1.
