Background & Aims: HuR is a RNA-binding factor whose expression is commonly upregulated in some human tumor types. We explored the molecular mechanism underlying HuR elevation and its role in gastric cancer tumorigenesis. Methods: HuR expression and subcellular localization were determined by polymerase chain reaction, immunoblot, and immuno-histochemical analyses. Its effect on tumor growth was characterized using flow cytometry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling, and soft agar analyses. Luciferase reporter, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays were used to measure transcriptional activation by nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) signaling. Results: Compared with normal gastric tissues, HuR was expressed at higher levels in gastric tumors, particularly in advanced versus early tumors; this increase was associated with enhanced cytoplasmic translocation of HuR HuR overexpression increased proliferation of tumor cells, activating the G, to S transition of the cell cycle, DNA synthesis, and anchorage-independent growth. Small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of HuR expression reduced tumor cell proliferation and response to apoptotic stimuli. No genetic or epigenetic alterations of HuR were observed in gastric tumor cell lines or primary tumors; overexpression depended on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT signaling and NF-kappa B activity. AKT activation increased p65/Re1A binding to a putative NF-kappa B binding site in the HuR promoter, the stability of HuR target transcripts, and the cytoplasmic import of HuR. Conclusions: HuR is a direct transcription target of NF-kappa B; its activation in gastric cancer cell lines depends on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT signaling. HuR activation by this pathway has proliferative and antiapoptotic effects on gastric cancer cells.
