Core Tip Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) plays a significant role in regulating energy expenditure and metabolic homeostasis in brown and beige adipocytes. Hypermethylation of UCP1 was confirmed in gastric cancer (GC) cells and tumor tissues. Overexpression of UCP1 suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and it promoted apoptosis in vitro. Overexpression of UCP1 also suppressed GC tumor growth in vivo. The level of active Rap1 protein in GC cells was significantly decreased with UCP1 overexpression and significantly increased after UCP1 knockdown. UCP1 plays a role as a tumor suppressor in GC; it regulates Rap1 signaling and may be a potential therapeutic target in GC.
