Abstract
Gastric cancer is the most common digestive malignant tumor worldwild. EDD1 was reported to be frequently amplified in several tumors and played an important role in the tumorigenesis process. However, the biological role and potential mechanism of EDD1 in gastric cancer remains poorly understood. In this study, we are aim to investigate the effect of EDD1 on gastric cancer progression and to explore the underlying mechanism. The results showed the significant up-regulation of EDD1 in -gastric cancer cell tissues and lines. The expression level of EDD1 was also positively associated with advanced clinical stages and predicted poor overall patient survival and poor disease-free patient survival. Besides, EDD1 knockdown markedly inhibited cell viability, colony formation, and suppressed tumor growth. Opposite results were obtained in gastric cancer cells with EDD1 overexpression. EDD1 knockdown was also found to induce gastric cancer cells apoptosis. Further investigation indicated that the oncogenic role of EDD1 in regulating gastric cancer cells growth and apoptosis was related to its PABC domain and directly through targeting miR-22, which was significantly down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues. Totally, our study suggests that EDD1 plays an oncogenic role in gastric cancer and may be a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
