Elevated mRNA level indicates FSIP1 promotes EMT and gastric cancer progression by regulating fibroblasts in tumor microenvironment

Abstract: Fiber sheath interaction protein 1 (FSIP1) plays a crucial role in cancer development and occurrence, but its influence on gastric cancer is still unclear. In this study, differential mRNA analysis was performed by TCGA database for the Limma analysis algorithm, and the gene ontology, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were used for bioinformatics functional enrichment analysis. A gastric cancer cell model with FSIP1 mRNA knockdown was constructed by RNA interference. Cell counting kit-8 and transwell migration/invasion assay were performed to verify the cell function, and western blotting was employed to confirm the expression of target genes. The GSEA analysis revealed that FSIP1 was associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The high expression group also had a significant positive correlation with the markers of fibroblast in tumor microenvironment (TME). Western blotting showed that FSIP1 was generally upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines. FSIP1 mRNA knockdown cell lines inhibited gastric cells proliferation, migration, and metastasis in vitro, and the protein levels of EMT-related markers N-cadherin and vimentin were reduced. Our work proved that FSIP1 promoted EMT by regulating fibroblasts in the TME, thereby promoting the carcinogenic activity of cancer cells in proliferation, invasion, and migration. FSIP1 may take a role of the occurrence and could be a potential therapeutic target and offer a new insight into the underlying mechanism of gastric cancer.
