TSPAN1 upregulates MMP2 to promote pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion via PLCγ. Oncol Rep. 2019 Jan 30;: Authors: Zhang X, Shi G, Gao F, Liu P, Wang H, Tan X Abstract Pancreatic cancer (PC), a malignancy of the digestive system, has one of the highest rates of metastasis and mortality. It is characterized by the detachment, migration, implantation and infiltration of tumor cells to form metastases or recurrent foci. Tetraspanin 1 (TSPAN1), a novel member of the TSPAN superfamily, is highly expressed in many types of cancer, including gastric, colon, liver and esophageal cancer. It has also ...

Molecular mechanism of LKB1 in the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
Authors: Chen Y, Liu Y, Zhou Y, You H Abstract The occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with a variety of oncogenes and tumor‑suppressor genes. As a tumor‑suppressor gene, the liver kinase B1 gene (LKB1, also known as serine/threonine kinase 11, STK11) is closely related to tumor angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of LKB1 on the invasion and metastasis of CRC, and to explore its molecular mechanisms. By detecting the expression of LKB1 in CRC, we can provide a reference index for diagnosin...

Downregulation of RPN2 induces apoptosis and inhibits migration and invasion in colon carcinoma.
Authors: Bi C, Jiang B Abstract The morbidity of colorectal cancer (CRC) increases annualy, which accounts to higher mortality worldwide. Therefore, it is important to study the pathogenesis of colon cancer. Ribophorin II (RPN2), part of the N-oligosaccharyltransferase complex, is highly expressed in CRC. In the present study, we investigated whether RPN2 can regulate apoptosis, migration and invasion by RNA interference in CRC and sought to clarify the molecular mechanism involved. Based on previous research, an abnormal high expression of RPN2 was observed in CRC tissues and cell lines by real-time (RT)-PCR, im...

Oncol Rep. 2017 Nov 02;: Authors: Wang Y, Xia C, Lun Z, Lv Y, Chen W, Li T Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered to be an advancing antitumor technology. PDT using hydrophilic/lipophilic tetra‑α-(4-carboxyphenoxy) phthalocyanine zinc (TαPcZn-PDT) has exhibited antitumor activity in Bel-7402 hepatocellular cancer cells. However, the manner in which p38 MAPK and caspase-9 are involved in the regulation of mitoch...

Role of the cystathionine β-synthase/H2S system in liver cancer cells and the inhibitory effect of quinolone-indolone conjugate QIC2 on the system.
Authors: Jia H, Ye J, You J, Shi X, Kang W, Wang T Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter, plays important roles in cancer biological processes. As endogenous H2S exerts pro-cancer functions, inhibition of its production in cancer cells may provide a new cancer treatment strategy and be achieved via regulation of the function of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), one of the main metabolic enzymes synthesizing H2S. This enzyme plays important roles in the development and progression of colon and ovarian cancer, primarily regulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and accelerating cell cycle progressi...

Knockdown of PARP6 or survivin promotes cell apoptosis and inhibits cell invasion of colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.
Authors: Wang H, Li S, Luo X, Song Z, Long X, Zhu X Abstract Colorectal adenocarcinoma is the third most common cancer worldwide. PARP6, a novel member of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and survivin, a member of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins are associated with a poor prognosis in various types of cancers. However, limited evidence exists regarding the interaction between PARP6 and survivin in colorectal adenocarcinoma. In the present study, we used the paired samples of 20 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma to detect the expression of PARP6 and survivin in both tumor and adjac...

Expression of glia maturation factor γ is associated with colorectal cancer metastasis and its downregulation suppresses colorectal cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro.
Authors: Wang H, Chen Z, Chang H, Mu X, Deng W, Yuan Z, Yao F, Liu Y, Mai R, Wu B Abstract Glia maturation factor γ (GMFG) functions to reorganize the actin cytoskeleton and appears to play a causative role in cell migration and adherence. The present study assessed GMFG expression in colorectal cancer cells and tissue specimens and then explored the role of GMFG in colorectal cancer progression in vitro. GMFG protein was highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and a metastatic colon cancer cell line. Knockdown of GMFG expression using GMFG siRNA or anti-GMFG antibody decreased the capacity of colon cancer...

CXCL7 promotes proliferation and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells.
Authors: Guo Q, Jian Z, Jia B, Chang L Abstract CXCL7 is an important chemoattractant cytokine, which signals through binding to its receptor CXCR2. Recent studies have demonstrated that the CXCL7/CXCR2 signaling plays a promoting role in several common malignancies, including lung, renal, colon, and breast cancer. However, the regulatory role of CXCL7, in cholangiocarcinoma, as well as the underlying mechanism, has not been previously reported. Herein, we found more positive expression of CXCL7 in cholangiocarcinoma tissues compared to adjacent non-tumor tissues. High CXCL7 expression was significantly correlated ...

PLD4 promotes M1 macrophages to perform antitumor effects in colon cancer cells.
Authors: Gao L, Zhou Y, Zhou SX, Yu XJ, Xu JM, Zuo L, Luo YH, Li XA Abstract Phospholipase D4 (PLD4) is a newly identified protein expressed in microglia. However, the function of PLD4 in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is unknown. In the present study, we revealed that the expression of PLD4 was located in macrophages in the colon cancer mesenchymal and lymph nodes as shown by immunohistochemical analysis. furthermore, its expression was associated with clinical staging of colon cancer. Then, THP-1 as a cell model induced into TAMs. Western blot and RT-PCR analysis showed that PLD4 was mainly presented in M1 p...

Clinical significance of CD44 variant 9 expression as a prognostic indicator in bladder cancer.
We examined its role in invasion and as a biomarker for the basal muscle invasive molecular subtype showing worse prognosis, and for tumor progression in high risk (pT1/high grade) non‑muscle invasive bladder cancers (NMIBCs). CD44v9, cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6), and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 98 pathologically confirmed specimens (36 muscle and 62 high‑risk non‑muscle) and correlated to clinical outcome. In vitro analysis was performed using two human bladder cancer cell lines (HT1376 and 5637). The CD44v9 high‑expressing group exhibited significantly lower progr...

Curcumin inhibits tumor epithelial‑mesenchymal transition by downregulating the Wnt signaling pathway and upregulating NKD2 expression in colon cancer cells.
Authors: Zhang Z, Chen H, Xu C, Song L, Huang L, Lai Y, Wang Y, Chen H, Gu D, Ren L, Yao Q Abstract Tumor invasion and metastasis are closely associated with epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT refers to epithelial cells under physiological and pathological conditions that are specific to mesenchymal transition. Curcumin inhibits EMT progression via Wnt signaling. The Wnt signaling pathway is a conservative EMT‑related signaling pathway that is involved in the development of various tumors. In the present study, MTS assays were employed to analyze the proliferation of curcumin‑treated cells. Naked c...
