Knockdown of HIP1 expression promotes ligand ‑induced endocytosis of EGFR in HeLa cells.
In this study, the effects of HIP1 on the degradation of EGFR, which have important roles in carcinogenesis after EGF stimulation, were examined. After screening 17 cell lines, the coexpression of HIP1 and EGFR was detected in HeLa cells. Accordingly, the expression of HIP1 was knocked down in HeLa cells using various HIP1 siRNA sequences. The endocytosis of EGFR and localization of clathrin in HeLa cells were examined after stimulation by EGF at various concentrations (i.e., 1.5 and 100 ng/ml). After HIP1 expression was blocked by siRNAs, EGFR endocytosis was accelerated and this effect was dependent on the EGF concentra...

TLR5/7-mediated PI3K activation triggers epithelial-mesenchymal transition of ovarian cancer cells through WAVE3-dependent mesothelin or OCT4/SOX2 expression.
In this study, we examined the role of TLR5 and TLR7 in the metastasis of ovarian cancer through the induction of mesothelin/CA125 expression and investigated its underlying mechanism. TLR5 agonist (flagellin) and TLR7 agonist (imiquimod) upregulated mesenchymal phenotypes and produced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related cytokines in the SKOV3 cells; however, TLR7 expressing CaOV3 cells had no response to the specific ligand, imiquimod, for enhancing its EMT processes. Stimulation of the SKOV3 cells with flagellin or imiquimod activated Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein verprolin-homologous 3 (WAVE3) and mesoth...

Cx32 inhibits TNF α-induced extrinsic apoptosis with and without EGFR suppression.
Cx32 inhibits TNFα-induced extrinsic apoptosis with and without EGFR suppression. Oncol Rep. 2017 Sep 07;: Authors: Lai Y, Tao L, Zhao Y, Zhang X, Sun X, Wang Q, Xu C Abstract Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can trigger the extrinsic apoptosis pathway. Our previous study indicated that connexin32 (Cx32) inhibited streptonigrin-induced intrinsic apoptosis via the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. However, whether Cx32 can exert effects on the extrinsic apoptosis pathway through EGFR signaling remains unclear. In the present study, we inv...

α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in tumor-associated macrophages inhibits colorectal cancer metastasis through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
Authors: Fei R, Zhang Y, Wang S, Xiang T, Chen W Abstract Considerable evidence has implied that α7 nicotinic receptor subtypes play an important role in chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain signaling. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of endogenous α7nAChR signaling in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in human colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis and prognosis. α7nAChR expression in primary tumor cells and adjacent stroma cells especially in TAMs in 51 CRC patients was observed. Using a human monocyte THP-derived macrophages (TMs) with α7nAChR-siRNA knockdown (TMα7-/-) and a CRC ce...

Knockdown of c ‑Myc activates Fas-mediated apoptosis and sensitizes A549 cells to radiation.
In this study, we established radiation-resistant A549 cell model (A549/R), and investigated the roles of c‑Myc and Fas in radiation-induced cytotoxicity of A549 cells. Apoptosis detection showed that there were fewer apoptotic cells in A549/R cells treated with radiation than in A549 cells. Western blotting results demonstrated the inverse expression pattern of c‑Myc and Fas in A549 and A549/R cells. Suppression of c‑Myc expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) displayed enhancement of Fas-mediated apoptosis in A549/R cells, accompanying a significant decrease of Bid, Bcl‑2, pro‑caspase‑8, -9 and -3 and inc...

EGF-induced urokinase plasminogen activator receptor promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition in human gastric cancer cells.
Authors: Wang P, Ma M, Zhang S Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling has been shown to induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in many types of cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism of EGF-induced EMT in gastric cancer remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that human gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and BGC-823 underwent EMT phenotypic changes upon exposure to EGF. The induction of EMT was consistent with aggressive characteristics such as increased cell migration, invasion and clonogenic growth. Additionally, EGF stimulation also led to the upregulation of urokinas...
