Stress-inducible Protein-1 promotes metastasis of gastric cancer via Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Stress-Inducible Protein-1 (STIP1) is a co-chaperone that associates directly with heat shock proteins, and regulates motility of various types of cancer. In the present study, we investigated the role of STIP1 on metastasis of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS:In vivo metastatic experimental model was employed to investigate the effect of STIP1 on metastasis of GC cells. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments were performed to examine the role of STIP1 on metastasis of GC cells. Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, migration and invasion assays, microarray and KEGG pathway analysis were applied to explore the underlying mechanism. RESULTS:In current study, we demonstrated that STIP1 promoted lung metastasis of GC cells in vivo. Furthermore, STIP1 significantly enhanced migration and invasion abilities of GC cells. In contrast, knock-down of STIP1 yielded the opposite effects on these phenotypes in vitro. STIP1 promoted tumor metastasis through inducing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in GC cells. Mechanistically, STIP1 promoted GC metastasis via up-regulation of targeted genes in Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway, including c-Myc and Cyclin D1, and accompanied with nuclear translocation of ?-catenin. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings indicate that elevated expression of STIP1 exhibited a metastasis-promoting effect in GC cells through activation of Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway. STIP1 may be served as a potential therapeutic target for preventing GC metastasis.

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is a rare type of tumor and mostly occurs in children and adolescents. Approximately 10‑25% of patients with OS have lung metastases, and lung damage caused by lung metastasis is the main cause of mortality. Therefore, studying the growth and metastasis of OS is key in reducing OS mortality and improving prognosis. The expression of long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) cancer susceptibility 15 (CASC15) in OS patients or OS cell lines were quantified by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR). The expression of vimentin, E‑cadherin, N‑cadherin, and cyclin D were detected by RT‑qPCR and western blotting. Mice were injected with OS cell lines via the tail vein to observe tumor formation in the lung. CCK‑8 and EdU assays were utilized to evaluate cell proliferation. Both Ttranswell assay and cell scratch test detected cell migration. The results revealed that lncRNA‑CASC15 was highly expressed in clinical samples and OS cells. In vitro verification experiments revealed that CASC15 promoted the growth of OS cells. Rescue experiments demonstrated that CASC15 affected the cell cycle by activating the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation. Furthermore, the transfection dose test indicated that lentiviruses expressing various doses of CASC15‑overexpression (oe‑CASC15) altered the proliferation and migration status of OS cells. CASC15 promoted OS cell metastasis both in vivo and in vitro. The overexpression of CASC15 revealed that the occurrence of metastasis was also related to the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway. The western blotting results revealed that CASC15 could lead to β‑catenin entering the nucleus via the Wnt pathway to promote the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) of OS cells. To sum up, CASC15 promoted the proliferation of OS cells in vitro and the growth of OS xenograft tumors in vivo. Moreover, CASC15 promoted the entry of β‑catenin into the nucleus, thus activating the Wnt pathway and subsequently promoting the EMT of OS cells.
