The overexpression of insulin like growth factor receptor I (IGF IR) and the activation of its signaling pathways both play critical roles in the development and progression of gastric cancer Dopamine (DA) a major enteric neurotransmitter has been reported to have a wide variety of physiological functions in the gastrointestinal tract including the stomach We have previously reported that both DA and tyrosine hydroxylase the rate limiting enzyme required for the synthesis of DA are lost in malignant gastric tissues The effect of this loss of DA on IGF IR induced growth of gastric cancer has not yet been elucidated we therefore investigated the role of DA if any on IGF IR induced proliferation of malignant gastric cells There was a significant increase in the expression of phosphorylated IGF IR and its downstream signaling molecule AICT in human malignant gastric tissues compared with normal nonmalignant tissues Furthermore to determine whether this loss of DA has any effect on the activation of IGF IR signaling pathways In malignant gastric tumors in vitro experiments were undertaken using AGS gastric cancer cells Our results demonstrated that DA acting through its D-2 receptor inhibits IGF I induced proliferation of AGS cells by up regulating KLF4 a negative regulator of the cell cycle through down regulation of IGF IR and AKT phosphorylation Our results suggest that DA is an important regulator of IGF IR function in malignant gastric cancer cells (Am J Pathol 2010 177 2701-2707 DOI 10 2353/ajpath 2010 100617)
