Involvement of ribosomal protein L11 expression in sensitivity of gastric cancer against 5-FU
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used in the treatment of various types of solid cancer. Our study showed that ribosomal protein L11 (RPL11) was a crucial factor affecting sensitivity of gastric cancer to 5-FU, implying that RPL11 expression is a potential biomarker for predicting 5-FU sensitivity.

Sumario: | 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used in the treatment of various types of solid cancer. Our study showed that ribosomal protein L11 (RPL11) was a crucial factor affecting sensitivity of gastric cancer to 5-FU, implying that RPL11 expression is a potential biomarker for predicting 5-FU sensitivity. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that high RPL11 expression in gastric cancer patients treated with 5-FU was significantly associated with good prognosis. It was therefore investigated whether RPL11 affected the sensitivity of gastric cancer against 5-FU using four human gastric cancer cell lines, MKN45 (wild-type TP53 gene), NUGC4 (wild-type), MKN7 (mutated), and KE39 cells (mutated). In vitro assays demonstrated that RPL11 knockdown in gastric cancer cell lines carrying the TP53 wild-type gene attenuated 5-FU-induced cell growth suppression and activation of the P53 pathway, but not in cells carrying mutated TP53, suggesting that 5-FU suppresses tumor progression via RPL11-mediated activation of the P53 pathway in gastric cancer. The present study provides a potential therapeutic strategy for improving 5-FU resistance in gastric cancer by elevating RPL11 expression. |
