| Abstract | The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of downregulation of the cMet gene on signal transduction and apoptosis in gastric cancer MKN45 cells; furthermore, the study aimed to determine whether altered cMet gene expression affected MKN45 sensitivity to gefitinib. Three cMetspecific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were synthesized and transfected into MKN45 cells. Messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels of cMet and its downstream signaling molecules [phosphoinositide 3kinase (PI3K) and AKT] were examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis 48 h following transfection. Cell apoptosis was evaluated using AnnexinV/propidium iodide double staining and fluorescenceactivated cell sorting analysis. An MTT assay was performed in order to measure the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of gefitinib on MKN45 cells. The results of the present study demonstrated that 48 h posttransfection with cMet siRNA, MKN45 cells showed significantly downregulated expression of cMet mRNA and protein as well as an increased rate of apoptosis (P<0.05). In addition, following cMet siRNA transfection mRNA and protein levels of PI3K and AKT were not significantly altered in MKN45 cells (P>0.05); however, a marked decrease in the expression levels of phosphorylated (p)PI3K and pAKT was observed (P<0.05). Furthermore, the IC50 of gefitinib in MKN45 cells was not significantly decreased. In conclusion, knockdown of the cMet gene promoted gastric cancer cell apoptosis and inhibited downstream pPI3K and pAKT; however, the sensitivity of MKN45 cells to gefitinib was not increased. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
