<p>Simvastatin Inhibits the Malignant Behaviors of Gastric Cancer Cells by Simultaneously Suppressing YAP and β-Catenin Signaling</p>

Abstract: Background: Statins, which are used to lower blood cholesterol levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, have shown anticancer effects in many cancer cells. However, the role of statins in gastric cancer remains unclear. This study aims to investigate whether the statins could antagonize progression of gastric cancer cells and tried to find the molecule mechanism. Methods: Effects of simvastatin on the morphology, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and invasion of gastric cancer cells were detected and compare… Show more

“…Several recent studies have explored the functional importance of RhoA and other Ras GTPases [ 15 , 23 , 29 , 35 , 36 ], with RhoA hyperactivation having been linked to proliferation and chemoresistance in gastric, bladder, and non-small cell lung cancer [ 15 , 20 , 37 , 38 ]. The importance of RhoA-mediated YAP modulation following MPPa-PDT treatment in OS, however, has not been previously studied.…”

“…Collectively, various studies reveal a positive effect of statin use in colon, breast, lung, liver, prostate, ovarian, gastric, blood, and pancreatic cancers [35 , 36 , 199 , 200 , 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206] . However, few reports suggest cancer-promoting or chemoresistant effect on statin treatment [207 , 208] , (209).…”

“…Simvastatin increased LATS1 and phosphorylated YAP (S127) protein levels and decreased CYR61 expression, but the YAP protein level hardly changed. 65 In multiple cancer cell lines (including GC), this inhibitory effect on YAP may be achieved by inhibiting the activity of Rho through the MVA pathway, [64][65][66] and Rho can inhibit the…”
