ABSTRACT
It has been reported that the expression of Krüppel-like factor 17 (KLF17) was associated with the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis and chemotherapy resistance of various tumors. However, the detailed mechanisms by which KLF17 promotes chemotherapy resistance in gastric cancer (GC) have not been fully investigated. In the present study, we collected the GC tissues and non-tumor tissues (matched adjacent normal tissues with corresponding GC tissues) of 60 GC patients, used qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry assay to analyze the relationship between the expression of KLF17 and the clinical pathological data of the patients. The effect of KLF17 on the sensitivity of GC cell lines to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and the potential mechanism were detected by MTS assay, Flow cytometry assay, and Western blot. Compared with non-tumor tissues, the expression level of KLF17 in GC tissue was significantly down-regulated, and the expression level of KLF17 in GES-1 cell line and GC cell lines also had a similar trend. Down-regulated expression of KLF17 is related to tumor size, invasion, regional lymph node metastasis, and TNM staging. Furthermore, through upregulating the expression of KLF17, the sensitivity of BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cell lines to 5-FU was obviously increased. Mechanistically, upregulation the expression of KLF17 can inhibit the expressions of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), and B-Cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2), which have been reported to be associated with drug resistance and cell proliferation. Collectively, these data implied that KLF17 has the biological effect of inhibiting chemotherapy resistance of GC, and it could be a potential strategy for the GC chemotherapy resistance.
