Abstract

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) plays a key role in anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis, and anti-proliferation in various types of cancers. However, the relationship between HO-1 expression and gastric cancer development remains largely unknown. In this study, the protein expression of HO-1 in human gastric cancer was measured by immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections of 89 paired gastric carcinoma tissues and adjacent non-cancer tissues. The correlation of HO-1 expression with 5-year overall survival rate was estimated. The effects of decreased HO-1 expression by two strands of small interfered RNAs (siRNAs) on cell apoptosis, proliferation, and invasion of gastric cancer cell lines were examined by flow cytometry, the MTT assay, and the cell migration assay, respectively. High expression of HO-1 was detected in 11.2% (10/89) of gastric carcinoma tissues, compared with 1.1% (1/89) in matched adjacent normal tissues, and correlated with a decreased survival rate in gastric cancer patients. There were no significant correlations between HO-1 expression and clinical characteristics. Downregulation of HO-1 expression using two strands of siRNAs promoted apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation and invasion of two gastric cancer cell lines, SGC7901 and MKN-28 cells. This study demonstrated that HO-1 plays a vital role in the development of gastric cancer and may serve as a therapeutic target of this type of cancer.
