Abstract

Abstract Objective: The peritoneal metastasis is one of the most common recurrence style of gastric cancer (GC) and an effective treatment for their patients has not been established. Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) is a negative regulator of various cytokine signaling and has been recently focused on as a therapeutic target in treatment for cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect with the enforced SOCS-1 expression by adenoviral vector (AdSOCS-1). METHODS: We evaluated the therapeutic effect of SOCS-1 in 6 GC cell lines with proliferation assay. Moreover, we examined the mechanism of antitumor effect of SOCS-1 focusing on the cell signalling and cell cycle in vitro. In vivo study, we evaluated the therapeutic effect in mice model. MKN45-Luc cell line was intraperitoneally injected into ICR nu/nu mice. And, we evaluated the peritoneal dissemination by the in vivo imaging system using Xenogen IVIS ® Imaging System. We treated these mice using the intraperitoneal injection of AdSOCS-1, twice a week for 4weeks. We evaluated the peritoneum dissemination by the photon intensity with time course repeatedly. Finally, we examined these tumor specimen pathologically and the overall survival (N=22). RESULTS: In 3 GC cell lines among 6 GC cell lines, AdSOCS-1 suppressed the proliferation. SOCS-1 showed an anti-proliferative potential in the GC cell proliferation via the inhibition of JAK/STAT and p38 MAPK signaling pathways and also induced apoptosis in vitro. Additionally, SOCS-1 is proven to influence the cell cycle in G2/M phase activating the Chk2 in a JAK/STAT independent manner. In Xenograft peritoneal dissemination model, the total count of photon after therapy in AdSOCS-1 group was significantly lower than that in control group. By TUNEL immunohistochemical analysis, tumor specimen in AdSOCS-1 group included more apoptosis area comparing with that in the control group. To assess whether overexpression of SOCS-1 also reduced proliferation of MKN-45 cells in vivo, Ki-67 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. AdSOCS-1 group showed decreased Ki-67 positive cells compared to control group. We compared the overall survival of the peritoneal dissemination mice in two groups. AdSOCS-1 group showed better outcome than control group significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that SOCS-1 inhibited the progression of gastric cancer in Xenograft peritoneal dissemination model. SOCS-1 can be a novel therapeutic application for peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer.
