However, the exact relationship between them is still unknown. The present study aimed to examine the interaction of filamin A with 14-3-3-σ in the invasion and migration of breast cancer. RNA interference technology was employed to silence filamin A in MDA-MB-231 cells. Real-time PCR and Westem blotting were used to detect the expression of filamin A and 14-3-3-σ at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Double immunofluorescence was applied to show their colocalization morphologically. Wound healing assay and Trans-well assay were used to testify the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in filamin A-silenced cells. The results showed that silencing filamin A significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of 14-3-3σ. In addition, double immunofluorescence displayed that filamin A and 14-3-3σ were predominantly colocalized in the cytoplasm of MDA-MB-231 cells. Silencing filamin A led to the enhanced fluorescence of 14-3-3σ. Furthermore, cell functional experiments showed that silencing filamin A inhibited the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. In conclusion, silencing filamin A may inhibit the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells by upregulating 14-3-3σ.展开更多

文摘目的研究胃癌组织中细丝蛋白A (filamin A, FLNa)、血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)的表达水平和微血管密度(microvascular density, MVD)的关系,探讨FLNa、 VEGF和MVD之间的相关性及临床意义。方法采用免疫组织化学法检测51例胃癌组织及正常胃黏膜组织中FLNa、 VEGF和CD34的表达情况,结合临床参数分析三者相关性及临床意义。结果胃癌组织中的FLNa阳性表达率低于正常胃黏膜组织[47.06%(24/51) vs 90.20%(46/51),P=0.000];胃癌组织中的VEGF阳性表达率高于正常胃黏膜组织[92.16%(47/51)vs 31.37%(16/51),P=0.000];胃癌组织中的MVD值高于正常胃黏膜组织(18±3 vs 5±1,P=0.001);胃癌组织中FLNa、 VEGF的表达水平及MVD值与患者癌灶的浸润深度、是否存在淋巴结转移、肝转移有关,而与年龄、性别、癌灶部位、组织类型及Borrmann分型无关; FLNa和VEGF在胃癌组织中的表达水平呈负相关(r=-0.490,P=0.000);胃癌组织中FLNa表达阳性组的MVD值低于FLNa表达阴性组(4±1 vs 17±3,P=0.001),而VEGF表达阳性组的MVD值高于VEGF表达阴性组(16±1 vs 3±1,P=0.000)。结论 FLNa、 VEGF的表达水平和MVD值与胃癌的形成和发展相关, FLNa通过抑制VEGF的表达水平,阻遏了肿瘤新生血管的生成,最终抑制胃癌细胞的局部复发和远处转移。
