NCOA5 promotes proliferation, migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells via activation of PI3K/AKT pathway.

ABSTRACT: The nuclear receptor coactivator 5 (NCOA5) displays both coactivator and corepressor functions. Previous studies showed that alteration of NCOA5 participates in carcinogenesis and progression. However, its roles in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unknown. Herein, we demonstrated that expression of NCOA5 in human CRC tissues was notably higher than that in adjacent tissues, which significantly correlated with clinicopathological features such as length of tumor, regional lymph node staging and cancer staging. Knockdown of NCOA5 markedly suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion of SW620 high malignant CRC cells. Silencing of NCOA5 also inhibited in vivo growth of SW620 CRC subcutaneously xenografted tumors in athymic BALB/c nude mice. Meanwhile, Overexpression of NCOA5 facilitated these processes in SW480 low malignant CRC cells. Furthermore, knockdown of NCOA5 induced cell cycle G1 phase arrest in SW620 cells, whereas overexpression of NCOA5 promoted G1 to S phase transition in SW480 cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that NCOA5 upregulated phospho-protein kinase B (p-PKB/AKT), Cyclin D1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) as well as downregulated P27 in CRC cells. Notably, PI3K inhibitor LY294002 obviously attenuated the effects of NCOA5 on p-AKT, Cyclin D1, P27 and MMP9. Moreover, LY294002 and knockdown of Cyclin D1 or MMP9 remarkably blocked the tumor-promoting activity of NCOA5. Collectively, NCOA5 promoted CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion by upregulating Cyclin D1 and MMP9 while downregulating P27 to a great extent via activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings suggested that NCOA5 exhibits an oncogenic effect in human CRC and represents a novel therapeutic target for CRC.

Project description:Background: KIFC3, belongs to kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs), is well known for its role in intracellular cargo movement. KIFC3 has been identified as a docetaxel resistance gene in breast cancer cells, however, the role of KIFC3 and its potential mechanism in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains elusive. Objectives: We aims to investigate the effects of KIFC3 in proliferation, migration, and invasion in CRC as well as the potential mechanism inside. Methods: We investigated the expression of KIFC3 in the Oncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis databases. The KIFC3 protein expression and mRNA level in CRC cells were evaluated by western blot and qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8, EdU, colony formation assay and xenograft tumor in nude mice. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle. The effect of KIFC3 on the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was investigated by transwell and wound healing assay. The association of KIFC3 with EMT and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway were measured by western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Results: The expression of KIFC3 was higher in CRC tissues than normal colorectal tissue, and was negatively correlated with the overall survival of patients with CRC. KIFC3 silencing inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells. Meanwhile, it could decrease the number of cells in S phase. KIFC3 silencing inhibited the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, Cyclin A2, Cyclin E1, and CDK2 and increased the expression of p21 and p53. KIFC3 overexpression promoted the G1/S phase transition. KIFC3 silencing inhibited the EMT process, which decreased the level of N-cadherin, Vimentin, SNAIL 1, TWIST, MMP-2, MMP-9 and increased E-cadherin, while KIFC3 overexpression show the opposite results. Furthermore, the knockdown of KIFC3 suppressed the EMT process by modulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. KIFC3 silencing decreased the expression of phosphorylated PI3K, AKT, mTOR, but total PI3K, AKT, mTOR have no change. Inversely, the upregulation of KIFC3 increased the expression of phosphorylated PI3K, AKT and mTOR, total PI3K, AKT, mTOR have no change. In a xenograft mouse model, the depletion of KIFC3 suppressed tumor growth. the increased expression levels of KIFC3 could enhance the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells, and enhance the EMT process through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Conclusion: Our study substantiates that KIFC3 can participate in the regulation of CRC progression by which regulates EMT via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis.
