Abstract

Chemoresistance remains the major obstacle to achieve optimal prognosis in gastric cancer patients, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in gastric cancer chemoresistance remain poorly understood. We identified the high pretherapeutical serum IL-8 level in gastric cancer patients was associated with poor response to platinum-based therapy, and it increased gradually during neoadjuvant chemotherapy and it decreased after radical surgery. Immunohistochemistry assays showed that IL-8 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues in chemoresistant patients, and located in CAFs. Primary CAFs produced more IL-8 than the corresponding normal fibroblasts, and human stomach fibroblast line Hs738 secreted more IL-8 after co-cultured with conditioned media from AGS or MGC-803 cells. IL-8 increased the IC50 of cisplatin (CDDP) in AGS or MGC-803 in vitro. Simultaneously, IL-8 treatment enhanced the expression of PI3K, phosphorylated-AKT (p-AKT), phosphorylated-IKb (p-IKb), phosphorylated-p65 (p-p65) and ABCB1, and ABCB1 and p-p65 were overexpressed in tumor tissues of chemoresistant patients. Collectively, CAFs derived IL-8 promotes chemoresistance in human gastric cancer via NF-κB activation and ABCB1 up-regulation. Our study provides a novel strategy to improve the chemotherapeutical efficacy and the prognosis of gastric cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
