Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The status of interferon (IFN) signaling pathway has been shown to be closely associated with the response of immune checkpoint blockade therapy against advanced human cancers. IFN-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (IFIT2), also known as IFN-stimulated gene 54 (ISG54), is one of the most highly responsive ISGs, which can inhibit the proliferation and migration of cancer cells, and regulate viral replication, resulting in anti-cancer and anti-viral effects. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of IFIT2 in human gastric cancer. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry assay was used to investigate the correlation between the IFIT2 expression in cancer tissues and clinical parameters of gastric cancer patients. Knockdown of IFIT2 was performed using RNAi to assess the role of IFIT2 in the regulation of biological behaviors in human gastric cancer cell lines. RESULTS: IFIT2 expression in gastric cancer tissues was significantly associated with tumor stage and postoperative prognoses of the patients. Moreover, decreased IFIT2 expression in human gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and AGS significantly increased the cell viability, cell migration and the ratios of cells in S phase. CONCLUSION: Our present study demonstrated that the decreased IFIT2 expression could promote the gastric cancer progression and predict poor therapeutic outcomes of the patients.
