AbstractNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancers. Recently, a similar protective effect has been demonstrated by the specific cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. However, the exact mechanism that accounts for the anti-proliferative effect of specific COX-2 inhibitors is still not fully understood, and it is still controversial whether these protective effects are predominantly mediated through the inhibition of COX-2 activity and prostaglandin synthesis. Identification of molecular targets regulated by COX-2 inhibitors could lead to a better understanding of their pro-apoptotic and anti-neoplastic activities. In the present study, we investigated the effect and the possible molecular target of a COX-2-specific inhibitor SC-236 on gastric cancer. We showed that SC-236 induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. However, this effect was not dependent on COX-2 inhibition. SC-236 down-regulated the protein expression and kinase activity of PKC-β 1, increased the expression of PKCδ and PKCη, but did not alter the expression of other PKC isoforms in AGS cells. Moreover, exogenous prostaglandins or PGE 2 receptor antagonists could not reverse the inhibition effect on PKCβ 1 by SC-236, which suggested that this effect occurred through a mechanism independent of cyclo-oxygenase activity and prostaglandin synthesis. Overexpression of PKCβ 1 attenuated the apoptotic response of AGS cells to SC-236 and was associated with overexpression of p21 waf1/cip1. Inhibition of PKCβ 1-mediated overexpression of p21 waf1/cip1 partially reduced the anti-apoptotic effect of PKCβ 1. The down-regulation of PKCβ 1 provides an explanation for COX-independent apoptotic effects of specific COX-2 inhibitor in cultured gastric cancer cells. We also suggest that PKCβ 1 act as survival mediator in gastric cancer, and its down-regulation by COX-2 inhibitor SC-236 may provide new target for future treatment of gastric cancer.
