Modulation of E-cadherin expression promotes migration ability of esophageal cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Losing the E-cadherin plays an important role in the metastasis of cancer. The regulation of the expression of E-cadherin is unclear. Circadian rhythm alteration is associated with the pathogenesis of a number of cancers. This study aims to investigate the role of one of the circadian proteins, period-2 (Per2) in repressing the expression of E-cadherin in esophageal cancer (esophageal cancer). We observed that the levels of circadian protein Per2 were significantly increased and E-cadherin was significantly decreased in the tissue of human esophageal cancer with metastasis as compared with non-metastatic esophageal cancer. Overexpression of Per2 in the esophageal cancer cells markedly repressed the expression of E-cadherin. The pHDAC1 was detected in human esophageal cancer with metastasis, which was much less in the esophageal cancer tissue without metastasis. Overexpression of Per2 increased the levels of pHDAC1 as well as the E-cadherin repressors at the E-cadherin promoter locus. Overexpression of Per2 markedly increased the migratory capacity of esophageal cancer cells, which was abolished by the inhibition of HDAC1. We conclude that Per-2 plays an important role in the esophageal cancer cell metastasis, which may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Expression data among esophageal cancer cell sublines with different migration ability

Project description:Cellular directed migration is critical to invasion-metastasis cascade of cancer cells. We used in vitro transwell model to screen two esophageal cancer cell lines (KYSE30/180) and obtained two pairs of subpopulations with distinct motility ability. Then we used microarrays to detail the differentially expressed genes and microRNAs between these two cell sublines (30U/D and 180U/D) to identify those responsible for ESCC motility. KYSE30/180 cells were subject to four successive selections using transwell (CORNING, USA). Subpopulations penetrated through membrane (D) or not (U) were harvested respectively for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix genome and LC Sciences microRNA microarrays simultaneously.

GPR12 inhibits migration and promotes apoptosis in esophageal cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer cells.

Project description:BackgroundG protein-coupled receptor 12 (GPR12) is an orphan receptor with no confirmed endogenous ligands. It plays important roles in both physiological and pathological conditions such as neurogenesis and neural inflammation. However, it remains unclear whether GPR12 regulates carcinogenesis and progression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), such as esophageal cancer (EC) and hypopharyngeal cancer (HC).MethodsThe Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was applied to explore the expression of GPR12. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of GPR12 in cancer tissues. Wound healing and transwell assays were carried out to verify the effect of GPR12 on cell migration. Flow cytometric analysis and caspase-Glo 3/7 assay were carried out to verify the influence of GPR12 on cell apoptosis. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of proteins related to migration and apoptosis.ResultThe qRT-PCR analyses showed that the expression of GPR12 decreased in EC and HC than that in their paired adjacent normal tissues. Wound healing assay and transwell assay demonstrated that GPR12 inhibited tumor cell migration. Flow cytometry analysis and Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay suggested that GPR12 promoted apoptosis. The mechanism of GPR12 may function via modulating caspase-7, E-cadherin, and α-catenin in EC and HC cells.ConclusionIn conclusion, GPR12 induced apoptosis by activating caspase-7 and inhibited migration through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in EC and HC. Our findings demonstrated that GPR12 as a potential tumor suppressor mediated cell migration and apoptosis in EC and HC.

N-cadherin promotes motility in human breast cancer cells regardless of their E-cadherin expression.

Project description:E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates calcium-dependent, homotypic cell-cell adhesion and plays a role in maintaining the normal phenotype of epithelial cells. Decreased expression of E-cadherin has been correlated with increased invasiveness of breast cancer. In other systems, inappropriate expression of a nonepithelial cadherin, such as N-cadherin, by an epithelial cell has been shown to downregulate E-cadherin expression and to contribute to a scattered phenotype. In this study, we explored the possibility that expression of nonepithelial cadherins may be correlated with increased motility and invasion in breast cancer cells. We show that N-cadherin promotes motility and invasion; that decreased expression of E-cadherin does not necessarily correlate with motility or invasion; that N-cadherin expression correlates both with invasion and motility, and likely plays a direct role in promoting motility; that forced expression of E-cadherin in invasive, N-cadherin-positive cells does not reduce their motility or invasive capacity; that forced expression of N-cadherin in noninvasive, E-cadherin-positive cells produces an invasive cell, even though these cells continue to express high levels of E-cadherin; that N-cadherin-dependent motility may be mediated by FGF receptor signaling; and that cadherin-11 promotes epithelial cell motility in a manner similar to N-cadherin.

FNDC3B circular RNA promotes the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells via the regulation of E-cadherin and CD44 expression.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of RNAs, and many studies have identified thousands of circRNAs in tumor cells. Fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 3B (FNDC3B) circular RNA (circFNDC3B, circBase ID: hsa_circ_0006156) circularizes with exons 5 and 6. Gibson Assembly DNA technology was used to construct a circFNDC3B expression vector without a splice site and restriction enzyme site. We showed that circFNDC3B increased migration and invasion in gastric cancer (GC). Ectopic expression of circFNDC3B reduced the level of E-cadherin protein to promote the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in GC. RNA immunoprecipitation assays and RNA pull-down assays confirmed that circFNC3B increased CD44 expression, which was associated with cell adhesion, via the formation of a ternary complex of circFNDC3B-IGF2BP3-CD44 mRNA. These results indicated that circFNDC3B was associated with the degree of malignancy to highlight the specific characteristics of cell invasion.
