Down-regulation of RNF146 promotes gastric cancer cell
apoptosis and inhibits cell migration via Wnt/β-catenin
signaling pathway

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the high mortality rate cancers in the world, and seeking more effective
treatment methods has always been one of the urgent clinical problems to be solved. Therefore, a thorough
understanding of GC pathogenesis is necessary. The E3 ubiquitin ligase ring finger protein 146 (RNF146) has been
implicated as the important factor in tumor evolution. However, its role in GC has not been well investigated. In the
present study, our results first showed that RNF146 was up-regulated in both GC tissues and GC cell lines. In addition,
RNF146 knockdown induced cell apoptosis and inhibited cell migration and invasion in HGC27 cells. However, these
phenomena could be reversed by RNF146 over-expression. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that RNF146
possessed oncogenic role through down-regulating the expression of Axin1 to activate ?-catenin signaling pathway.
Collectively, these results indicated that RNF146 might be regarded as a carcinogen in human GC and representing as
a promising and valuable therapeutic target for the GC treatment.
