ABSTRACT: Background
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2 or TNFAIP8L2) is a newly described negative immune regulator and is closely associated with various tumors. However, the expression and roles of TIPE2 in PTC is unknown.Results
In the present study, TIPE2 upregulation in PTC tissues was found to be negatively associated with tumor size, capsule infiltration, peripheral infiltration and tumor T stage, which could be used to predict tumor invasiveness. TIPE2 overexpression significantly suppressed the viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of PTC cells. Moreover, TIPE2 suppressed tumor invasiveness by inhibiting Rac1, leading to decreased expression of uPA and MMP9.Conclusions
These results indicate that TIPE2 is a potential biomarker for predicting tumor aggressiveness and suppresses tumor invasiveness in a Rac1-dependent manner.
