Abstract:
Objective To analyze the expression of SPAG5 in gastric cancer tissues and its regulatory roles in gastric cancer cell growth.Methods TCGA analysis,immunohistochemistry,and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze the expression patterns of SPAG5 and MKi67 in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues.In gastric cancer AGS and MGC803 cells,the effects of lentivirus-mediated SPAG5 knockdown on cell growth and apoptosis were evaluated using Celigo,MTT,clone formation assays and flow cytometry.Results Proteinatlas and TCGA database analysis suggested that SPAG5 was highly expressed in gastric cancer,and Kaplan-Meier analysis and GEPIA analysis showed high expressions of SPAG 5 in lung adenocarcinoma,breast cancer,hepatocellular carcinoma,pancreatic carcinoma,cervical cancer and bladder carcinoma.Immunohistochemistry revealed that SPAG5 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues(P<0.001),and immunofluorescence colocalization analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between SPAG5 and MKI67(R=0.393,P<0.001).RT-qPCR and Western blotting showed that SPAG5 was highly expressed in MKN74,BGC823,MGC803,SGC7901 and AGS cells.In AGS and MGC803 cells,SPAG5 knockdown significantly inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis.Conclusions The expressions of SPAG5 and MKi67 are correlated in gastric cancer tissues,and SPAG5 knockdown inhibits the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.SPAG5 is associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients and may serve as a promising biomarker for gastric cancer.
