Gemini Curcumin Suppresses Gastric Cancer AGS Cell Proliferation Through Modulation of lncRNA CCAT2 and c-Myc Genes.
Objectives: Gemini surfactant nanocurcumin (Gemini-Cur) is a novel formulation of Curcumin (Cur) with dramatic suppressive effects on cancer cells. Here, we investigated the cancer effects of Gemini-Cur in a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell-line (AGS) through the evaluation of the expression of long non-coding RNAs colon cancer-associated transcript-2 (CCAT2) and its downstream c-Myc as known oncogenic modulators of tumorigenesis.
Materials and methods: The AGS cells were treated with Gemini-Cur and pure Cur in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The toxicity of Gemini-Cur was studied using 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and scratch tests. Furthermore, real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting techniques were employed to evaluate the expression of genes.
Results: Gemini-Cur significantly affected the viability of AGS cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner with inhibitory concentration 50 values of 59.32, 40.88, and 19.63 µM during 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. Our findings showed that Gemini-Cur effectively decreased the expression levels of lnc-CCAT2 and c-Myc genes. Western blotting analysis also confirmed the down-regulation of c-Myc in treated samples compared to controls.
Conclusion: Gemini-Cur attenuates the proliferation of AGS cells partly through modulation of the lncCCAT2-related pathway.
