基于β-catenin/Slug信号通路表达探讨LPCAT1对子宫颈癌生物学行为的影响

Effect of LPCAT1 on biological behavior of cervical cancer based onβ-catenin/Slug signaling pathway

目的观察β-catenin/Slug信号特异性抑制剂FH535与EMT的关系,探讨LPCAT1在调节子宫颈癌细胞侵袭、转移和生长中的作用。方法采用sh-NC和sh-LPCAT1转染Hela细胞,利用载体(Vector)组和LPCAT1过表达质粒转染SiHa细胞,将SiHa细胞分为对照组(Con)、LPCAT1组、LPCAT1+FH535组和FH535组。运用CCK-8法和集落形成试验检测子宫颈癌细胞的增殖。通过伤口愈合试验和Transwell实验检测子宫颈癌细胞的转移、侵袭能力。应用Western blot分析细胞中LPCAT1、β-catenin/Slug信号通路和EMT相关蛋白的表达。结果与Vector组相比,LPCAT1组SiHa细胞的活力、集落数、迁移和侵袭细胞数均显著增加(P<0.05);与sh-NC组相比,sh-LPCAT1组Hela细胞的活力、集落数、迁移和侵袭细胞数均显著降低(P<0.05)。与LPCAT1组相比,LPCAT1+FH535组SiHa细胞中Wnt4(1.18±0.05 vs 0.80±0.06)、β-catenin(1.05±0.08 vs 0.77±0.05)、Slug(1.13±0.06 vs 0.28±0.02)、Cyclin D1(0.99±0.06 vs 0.44±0.02)、N-cadherin(0.91±0.07 vs 0.46±0.03)和vimentin(0.95±0.06 vs 0.49±0.03)表达降低(P<0.05),E-cadherin(0.44±0.03 vs 0.58±0.03)表达增加(P<0.05)。此外,与LPCAT1组相比,LPCAT1+FH535组SiHa细胞的集落数(224±15 vs 146±11)、迁移数(85±3 vs 51±4)和侵袭数(166±10 vs 90±5)均降低(P<0.05)。结论LPCAT1表达增加可能通过激活β-catenin/Slug信号通路促进子宫颈癌的转移和进展,LPCAT1的靶向治疗有望提高子宫颈癌患者的预后。

Purpose To observation the relationship between theβ-catenin/Slug signal specific inhibitor FH535 and EMT,and to explore the role of LPCAT1 in regulating the invasion,metastasis,and growth of cervical cancer cells.Methods Hela cells were transfected with sh-NC and sh-LPCAT1,and SiHa cells were transfected with Vector group and LPCAT1 overexpression plasmid.SiHa cells were divided into control group(Con),LPCAT1 group,LPCAT1+FH535 group and FH535 group.The proliferation of cervical cancer cells was detected by CCK-8 analysis and colony formation test.The metastasis and invasion ability of cervical cancer cells were detected by wound healing test and Transwell test.Western blot was used to analyze the expression of LPCAT1,β-catenin/Slug signaling pathway and EMT-related proteins in cells.Results Compared with Vector group,the cell viability,colony number,migration and invasion number of SiHa cells in LPCAT1 group increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with sh-NC group,the cell viability,colony number,migration and invasion number of Hela cells in sh-LPCAT1 group decreased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with LPCAT1 group,the levels of Wnt4(1.18±0.05 vs 0.80±0.06),β-catenin(1.05±0.08 vs 0.77±0.05),Slug(1.13±0.06 vs 0.28±0.02),Cyclin D1(0.99±0.06 vs 0.44±0.02),N-cadherin(0.91±0.07 vs 0.46±0.03)and vimentin(0.95±0.06 vs 0.49±0.03)in SiHa cells in LPCAT1+FH535 group decreased significantly(P<0.05),and the level of E-cadherin(0.44±0.03 vs 0.58±0.03)increased significantly(P<0.05).In addition,compared with LPCAT1 group,the number of colonies(224±15 vs 146±11),migration(85±3 vs 51±4)and invasive(166±10 vs 90±5)cells of SiHa cells in LPCAT1+FH535 group decreased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The increase of LPCAT1 expression may promote the metastasis and progress of CC by activatingβ-catenin/Slug signaling pathway,and LPCAT1 may be a potential marker for predicting CC metastasis.
