Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading types of cancer in terms of mortality cases worldwide. Doxorubicin (Dox), a common chemotherapy drug, is frequently used to treat GC; however, acquired resistance to Dox hinders the chemotherapeutic outcome and causes shorter survival in GC patients. Several Dox-resistant GC cell lines, including SGC7901, SNU-1 and SNU-5 were generated to investigate the mechanism of Dox resistance in GC. Various methods were used to test the response of Dox-resistant GC cells and parental cells, including flow cytometry, Cell Counting kit-8 assay, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. In the present study, various Dox-resistant cells presented reduced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in response to Dox treatment. Western blot results revealed that cyclin D1 was upregulated in Dox-resistant cells, whereas inhibition or depletion of cyclin D1 re-sensitized the resistant cells to Dox treatment, which indicated that the induction of cyclin D1 expression was a result of the Dox resistance in GC cells. Furthermore, it was observed that a transcription activated form of p73 (TAp73), is the upstream modulator of cyclin D1, manipulating the cyclin D1 transcription with the assistance of activator protein 1 (AP-1). Overall, the present study data provided a rational strategy to overcome the Dox resistance in GC treatment by inhibiting cyclin D1 expression.
