Objective:To study the effects of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway on the proliferation and invasive growth of cells in mantle cell lymphoma.Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma by lymph node biopsy in Tongji Hospital? Tongji Medical College Huazhong University of Science & Technology between March 2015 and May 2017 were selected as lymphoma group of the research, and patients who were diagnosed with reactive hyperplasia by lymph node biopsy during the same period were selected as the control group. The protein expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway molecules in lymph node tissues were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, and the mRNA expression of proliferation genes and invasion genes were determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR kit.Results:β-catenin, p-GSK-3β and Tcf/Lef protein levels as well as C-myc, CyclinD1, Est-1, MMP9 and MMP26 mRNA expression in lymph node tissues of lymphoma group were significantly higher than those of control group whereas DKK1 and WIF-1 protein levels as well as Bax, Apaf1, Caspase-3, TNFAIP3, TIMP2 and TIMP4 mRNA expression were significantly lower than those of control group. C-myc, CyclinD1, Est-1, MMP9 and MMP26 mRNA expression in lymphoma tissues were positively correlated withβ-catenin, p-GSK-3β and Tcf/Lef protein levels, and negatively correlated with DKK1 and WIF-1 protein levels;Bax, Apaf1, Caspase-3, TNFAIP3, TIMP2 and TIMP4 mRNA expression were negatively correlated withβ-catenin, p-GSK-3β and Tcf/Lef protein levels, and positively correlated with DKK1 and WIF-1 protein levels.Conclusion: The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway can promote the proliferation and invasive growth of cells in mantle cell lymphoma.
