ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate how Maspin affects the EMT and angiogenesis of gastric cancer (GC) cells via ITGB1/FAK pathway. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the expressions of Maspin, ITGB1, FAK, E-cadherin, Vimentin, D2-40, and CD34 in GC and adjacent normal tissues from 160 patients. Then, the human GC cells with different degree of differentiation were transfected with Maspin CRISPR activation plasmid, ITGB1 siRNA and/or Maspin siRNA, followed by the following experiments, including qRT-PCR, western blotting, tube formation assay, Transwell assay and wound healing. GC tumor tissues manifested decreased Maspin with the activated ITGB1/FAK pathway. In tumor tissues, Maspin was negatively correlated with the expressions of ITGB1 and FAK, as well as Lauren's classification, differentiation degree, and TNM stage. Besides, Maspin was negatively related with lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and microvessel density (MVD), Vimentin and VEGF, but was positive correlated with E-cadherin. Maspin expression decreased, but ITGB1 and p-FAK expressions increased gradually in MKN-28 (well differentiated), SGC-7901 (moderate differentiated), and MKN-45 (poorly differentiated). Maspin CRISPR and ITGB1 siRNA increased E-cadherin with the decreased Vimentin, VEGF and bFGF, and the reductions of tube length. In comparison with the ITGB1 siRNA group, cells in the Maspin siRNA + ITGB1 siRNA group presented the more evident EMT and angiogenesis. Furthermore, ITGB1 siRNA reduced the malignancies of GC cells, which could be restored by Maspin siRNA. Maspin was downregulated in GC tissues, which could inhibit the EMT and angiogenesis by blocking the ITGB1/FAK pathway, thereby decreasing cell invasion and migration of GC.
