In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Context: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in China. Accumulating evidence indicates that HIF2 may affect the aggressiveness of gastric cancer. It has also been found that HIF2 C-terminal PAS domains can form complexes with inactive benzoxadiazole antagonists. Here, the anti-tumor effect of 4-(N,Ndimethylaminosulphonyl)-7-fluoro-1,2,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) on human gastric cancer cells was examined using both in vitro and in vivo assays.', 'We found that DBD-F can induce apoptosis and inhibit the mobility of MKN28 and MKN45 gastric cancer-derived cells in vitro. We also found that DBD-F can suppress tumor growth in established gastric cancer-derived xenograft models in vivo. Finally, we found that DBD-F can inhibit HIF2 expression in gastric cancer-derived cells.\Question: Does dBD-F induce apoptosis in gastric cancer-derived cells through suppressing HIF2 expression?
From our findings we conclude that DBD-F (i) is cytotoxic to gastric cancer-derived cells and (ii) can induce apoptosis in these cells via the MEK/ERK signaling pathway. In addition, our findings strongly indicate that DBD-F can inhibit HIF2 expression by affecting the phosphorylation status of MEK/ERK in gastric cancer-derived cells.
