| Abstract |
OPCML belongs to the IgLON family of Ig domain-containing GPI-anchored cell adhesion molecules and was recently found to be involved in carcinogenesis, while its role in gastric cancer remains unclear. We assessed expression and biological behavior of OPCML in gastric cancer. OPCML expression was markedly reduced in tumor tissues and cancer cell lines. Decreased OPCML expression had a significant association with unfavorable tumor stage (p = 0.007) and grading (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the results revealed that OPCML was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in gastric cancer (p = 0.002). In addition, ectopic expression of OPCML in cancer cells significantly inhibited cell viability (p < 0.01) and colony formation (p < 0.001), arrest cell cycle in G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis, and suppressed tumor formation in nude mice. The alterations of phosphorylation status of AKT and its substrate GSK3β, up-regulation of pro-apoptotic regulators including caspase-3, caspase-9 and PARP, and up-regulation of cell cycle regulator p27, were implicated in the biological activity of OPCML in cancer cells. Down-regulated OPCML expression might serve as an independent predictor for unfavorable prognosis of patients, and the biological behavior supports its role as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 May 2017.
All research outputs
#14,935,459
of 22,971,207 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#3,714
of 8,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#183,836
of 308,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#49
of 136 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,971,207 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,345 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 308,967 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 136 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
