Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial DNA 4977-bp deletion (DeltamtDNA(4977)) was reported in many human neoplasia. However, its biological significance remains to be evaluated and the molecular mechanism needs to be investigated. In this study, we analyzed the frequency of DeltamtDNA(4977) in gastric cancer (GC) cell lines and tissues, as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) contents and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) expression levels in GC cell lines to explore its biological significance and molecular mechanism. METHODS: Semi-quantitative PCR and real-time PCR were used to detect the incidence of DeltamtDNA(4977) in 13 GC cell lines and 272 human gastric tissues (108 GC specimens and the respective adjacent normal tissues, and 56 normal gastric mucosa from non-cancer patients). We further identified intracellular ROS production by flow cytometry and MnSOD expression by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Statistical analyses were carried out using the Logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Based on our earlier study, we optimized the PCR amplification condition by reducing the cycle number. In this study, we systematically documented the high incidence of DeltamtDNA(4977) in GC cell lines (10/13, 76.9%), GC tissues (86/108, 79.6%), matched normal tissues (73/108, 67.6%), and normal gastric mucosa of non-cancer patients (29/56, 51.8%). A significantly higher incidence of mutated DeltamtDNA(4977) was observed in GC tissues with respect to the adjacent normal tissues (79.6% vs 67.6%, P = 0.045), and they were both higher than that in normal controls (P < 0.05). Most importantly, we linked the DeltamtDNA(4977) mutations with the expression level of MnSOD and ROS contents. The cell lines containing lower expression level of MnSOD was found to have generally higher frequent DeltamtDNA(4977) and more ROS. CONCLUSION: The decreased anti-oxidative ability, which leads to increased ROS contents, is correlated with the mtDNA damage during gastric carcinogenesis.

  • Cells with high levels of the common deletion produce more reactive oxygen species when stimulated with an H2O2 insult, resulting in reduced cell viability.

    “the cells with high levels of this common deletion produce more reactive oxygen species when stimulated with an H2O2 insult, resulting in reduced cell viability (Jou et al., 2005; Liu et al., 2007; Wang and Lu, 2009).”

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.
