Hydrogen inhibits the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by modulating lncRNA MALAT1/miR-124-3p/EZH2 axis

Abstract:
Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent and deadly malignancies without efficient treatment option. This study aimed to investigate the effect of hydrogen gas on the behavior of gastric cancer cells.
Methods: Gastric cancer cell lines MGC-803 and BGC-823 were treated with or without H2 /O2 gas mixture (66.7%:33.3% v/v). Proliferation and migration were assessed by MTT and scratch wound healing assays respectively. The expression of lncRNA MALAT1, miR-124-3p, and EZH2 was analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR and/or western blot. Tumor growth was estimated using xenograft mouse model.
Results: H2 gas significantly inhibited gastric tumor growth in vivo and the proliferation, migration, and lncRNA MALAT1 and EZH2 expression of gastric cancer cells while upregulated miR-124-3p expression. LncRNA MALAT1 overexpression abolished all the aforementioned effects of H2. LncRNA MALAT1 and miR-124-3p reciprocally inhibited the expression of each other. MiR-124-3p mimics abrogated lncRNA MALAT1 promoted EZH2 expression and gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration. Conclusions: These data demonstrated that H2 might be developed as a therapeutics of gastric cancer and lncRNA MALAT1/miR-124-3p/EZH2 axis could be a target for intervention.

Chronic Administration with Electrolyzed Alkaline Water Inhibits Aspirin-induced Gastric Mucosal ...
2002 - Stomach - Gastric Mucosal Injury
Neutrophils activation and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induction play critical roles in aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury. The aim of the present study was to determine whether electrolyzed alkaline water (EAW) can ameliorate ...
The protective of hydrogen on stress-induced gastric ulceration
2012 - Stomach - Gastric Ulcer
Stress ulceration frequently occurs as a result of major stressful events and hydroxyl radical (⋅OH) is one of the major causative factors for it. Recently, it has been proved that hydrogen, a potent selectively ⋅OH scavenger, can effectively ...
Protective role of hydrogen-rich water on aspirin-induced gastric mucosal damage in rats
2014 - Stomach - Gastric Mucosal Injury
To investigate the role of the hydrogen-rich water (HRW) in the prevention of aspirin-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats. Forty male rats were allocated into four groups: normal control group, HRW group, aspirin group, and HRW plus aspirin group. ...
Hydrogen–oxygen therapy can alleviate radiotherapy-induced hearing loss in patients with ...
Three patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma developed binaural secretory otitis media 12, 2, and 0.5 years after radiotherapy, respectively. The secretions subsided after conventional drug and drainage treatments, but hearing continued to ...
Investigating the Effect of Hydrogen-Rich Water on Liver Cell Injury and Liver Cancer by Regulating ...
Background Liver cancer is an extremely heterogeneous malignant disease among tumors identified to date. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that low-concentration hydrogen or hydrogen-rich water or hydrogen-saturated physiological ...
