Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of Caveolin-1(Cav-1) protein on the malignant biological behaviors of NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells, and further to analyze the possible molecular mechanisms. Methods: NCI-N87 cell line that stably expressing Cav-1 was constructed; MTT assay, colony formation assay and wound healing assay were used to examine the effect of Cav-1 on the malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer cells; Western bloting was used to detect the effect of Cav-1 protein on Her-2 activation as well as the ERK and Akt signaling pathway under the induction with EGF ligand. Results: Over-expression of Cav-1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of NCI-N87 cells. With the stimulation of EGF ligand, Cav-1 over-expression significantly inhibited the tyrosine phosphorylation level of Her-2 and the ratio of P-ERK/ERK as well as P-AKT/AKT. Conclusion: The over-expression of Cav-1 could significantly inhibit Her-2 tyrosine phosphorylation, and may inhibit the proliferation and migration of NCI-N87 cells via the down-stream MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
