Upregulation of ROCK2 in gastric cancer cell promotes tumor cell proliferation,metastasis and invasion

Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) has been known as an effector for the small GTPase Rho and plays an important role in tumor progression and metastasis. However, the effect of ROCK2 in gastric cancer (GC) has not been identified. This study showed that ROCK2 expression significantly increased in clinical GC tissues compared with adjacent non-cancer tissues. Immunohistochemistrical analysis showed that high expression of ROCK2 was correlated with tumor grade, tumor–node–metastasis stage, infiltration depth, lymph node invasion and Ki-67, and predicted poor prognosis in 135 gastric cancer specimens. In addition, we found that upregulated ROCK2 promoted proliferation, metastasis and invasion of GC cells, while ROCK2 knockdown led to the opposite results in vitro by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assays, flow cytometric analysis and trans-well assays. Our findings supported that ROCK2 was a significant protein in the progress of GC and would provide a novel promising therapeutic strategy against human GC.     

Cyclophilin B promotes cell proliferation,migration, invasion and angiogenesis via regulating the STAT3 pathway in non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer and has become the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. It has been reported that expression of Cyclophilin B was greatly elevated in the pancreatic cancer patient sera as compared with the healthy volunteer sera. This study aimed to investigate the role and regulatory mechanism of CypB in NSCLC progression. The expression levels of CypB was detected in NSCLC samples and cell lines by ELISA, western blot and immunohistochemistry assay. In addition, CCK8, colony formation, scratch and transwell assays were used to evaluate the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells with CypB silencing. The expression of angiogenesis related proteins and pathway-related factors were detected by western blot. In NSCLC samples, CypB expression was upregulated. The expression of CypB was significantly reduced in the siRNA-cyclophilin B group. In addition, CypB silencing inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The expression of angiogenesis related proteins and pathway-related factors have also changed significantly. These findings suggested that CypB silencing may suppress the proliferation, invasion, migration and angiogenesis of A549 cells via inhibiting STAT3 pathway.

CCAT1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and invasion

It has been reported that CCAT1 is involved in the development of malignancies including colon cancer and gastric cancer. However, the role of CCAT1 in HCC still remains unknown. Real-time PCR was performed to test the relative expression of CCAT1 in HCC tissues and cell lines. We performed Chi-Square Analysis to study the correlation between clinical characteristics and CCAT1 expression. Based on the correlation, cell proliferation assay, cell invasion assay, wound healing assay and cell apoptosis assay were conducted in two HCC cell lines to examine the regulatory effect of CCAT1 on the HCC cells. The results indicated that the expression of CCAT1 was significantly increased in HCC tissues and cells compared with controls. We also found that the abnormally expressed CCAT1 could promote cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that the aberrant expression of CCAT1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro.

EFEMP2 is upregulated in gliomas and promotes glioma cell proliferation and invasion

Gliomas are the most common and aggressive form of primary brain tumor. Although EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 2 (EFEMP2), an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein, is regarded as a candidate oncogene, little is known about the association of EFEMP2 and gliomas. Here, the expression of EFEMP2 was significantly increased in glioma tissues (n=60) compared to non-tumorous brain tissues (n=25). Silencing of EFEMP2 expression through RNA interference in two glioma cell lines (U87 and U373) remarkably inhibited cell proliferation and G1/S transition. More importantly, EFEMP2 silencing significantly induced cell apoptosis via increasing the ratio of Bax and Bcl-2. Additionally, knockdown of EFEMP2 significantly inhibited the invasive ability of both glioma cells, which was associated with the downregulated expression of metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9. In conclusion, expression of EFEMP2 was associated with the oncogenic potential of gliomas and silencing of its expression can suppress cancer cell growth and metastasis. Inhibition of EFEMP2 may be a therapeutic strategy for gliomas.

miRNA-221 promotes proliferation,migration and invasion by targeting TIMP2 in renal cell carcinoma

Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-221 in the development and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to measure the expression level of miR-221 in ccRCC tissues and cell lines. Then, we investigated the role of miR-221 to determine its potential roles on renal cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. A luciferase reporter assay was conducted to confirm the target gene of miR-221 and the results were validated in renal cancer cells. Results: In the present study, we found that miR-221 was significantly increased in ccRCC tissues and cell lines. Knocked-down expression of miR-221 remarkably inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion of renal cancer cells. Moreover, at the molecular level, our results suggested that TIMP2 as a direct target of miR-221 through which miR-221 promoted tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Conclusions: These findings suggested that miR-221 play an oncogenic role in the renal cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion by directly inhibiting the tumor suppressor TIMP2, indicating miR-221 act as a potential new therapeutic target for the treatment of ccRCC.
