Treatment options are rather limited for gastrointestinal cancer patients whose disease has disseminated into the intra-abdominal cavity. Here, we designed pre-clinical studies to evaluate the potential application of chemopotentiation by Low Dose Fractionated Radiation Therapy (LDFRT) for disseminated gastric cancer and evaluate the role of a likely biomarker, Dual Oxidase 2 (DUOX2). Nude mice were injected orthotopically with human gastric cancer cells expressing endogenous or reduced levels of DUOX2 and randomly assigned to four treatment groups: 1; vehicle alone, 2; modified regimen of docetaxel, cisplatin and 5'-fluorouracil (mDCF) for three consecutive days, 3; Low Dose- Whole Abdomen Radiation Therapy (LD-WART) (5 fractions of 0.15 Gy in three days), 4; mDCF and LD-WART. The combined regimen increased the odds of preventing cancer dissemination (mDCF + LD-WART OR = 4.16; 80% CI = 1.0, 17.29) in the DUOX2 positive tumors, while tumors expressing lower DUOX2 levels were more responsive to mDCF alone with no added benefit from LD-WART. The molecular mechanisms underlying DUOX2 effects in response to the combined regimen include NF-κB upregulation. These data are particularly important since our study indicates that about 33% of human stomach adenocarcinoma do not express DUOX2. DUOX2 thus seems a likely biomarker for potential clinical application of chemopotentiation by LD-WART.Keywords:Dual oxidase 2; gastric cancer; low dose radiation therapy.
