Abstract:

CXC chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) is highly expressed in various type of cancers and promotes cancer progression and metastasis. However, the biological role and regulation of CXCR7 in gastric cancer remains unclear, and little is known about compounds that modulate CXCR7. Here, we investigated the role of CXCR7 in gastric tumorigenesis, and the effects of decursin, which is derived from Angelica gigas Nakai, on CXCR7. Our results showed that CXCR7 significantly promoted growth of gastric cancer cells and increased migration and invasion, which was mediated by the STAT3/c-Myc pathway. We also confirmed that decursin had an antitumor effect through down-regulating the expression of CXCR7 in gastric cancer. Furthermore, apoptotic cell death was induced through the reduction of anti-apoptotic factors such as Bcl-2 in vitro and in vivo. Our findings show that CXCR7 in gastric cancer promotes cancer progression through the STAT3/c-Myc pathway and that decursin is a natural compound that may target CXCR7 in gastric cancer treatment.
