CD164 regulates proliferation, progression, and invasion of human glioblastoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Grade IV astrocytoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is the most common and aggressive intracranial glial tumor. GBM is associated with very poor survival and effective treatments have remained elusive so far. Mounting evidence indicates that CD164 contributes to stemness and tumorigenesis in normal cells and is overexpressed in various tumor types, including glioblastoma. Using tissue microarray immunohistochemistry, we show that there is a significant correlation between CD164 expression and glioma type and grade. Depletion of CD164 expression in human glioblastoma cells with siRNA reduced proliferation, migration, and invasiveness. In parallel, immunoblotting showed that downregulation of CD164 expression decreased Akt activation and modified the expression of autophagy markers by upregulating Beclin-1 and LC3B and downregulating p62. These effects were mimicked by inhibition of Akt with MK2206, which suggests that CD164 induces autophagy via Akt/Beclin-1 signaling. We propose that CD164 may serve as a GBM molecular marker and a potential target in therapeutic strategies aimed to improve outcomes for this devastating brain tumor.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract, which is difficult to diagnose and treat due to bad early diagnosis. We aimed to explore the role of kinesin superfamily 4A (KIF4A) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).MethodsWe first used the bioinformatic website to screen the data of pancreatic cancer in TCGA, and KIF4A protein was detected among the 86 specimens of patients in our hospital combined with clinic-pathological characteristics and survival analysis. KIF4A loss-expression cell lines were established by RNA interference (RNAi). In addition, we performed in vitro cell assays to detect the changes in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The proteins involved in the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells were also detected by western blot. The above results could be proved in vivo. Further, the correlation between KIF4A and CDC5L was analyzed by TCGA and IHC data.ResultsWe first found a high expression of KIF4A in pancreatic cancer, suggesting a role of KIF4A in the development of pancreatic cancer. KIF4A was found to be differentially expressed (P < 0.05) among the 86 specimens of patients in our hospital and was significantly associated with PDAC TNM stages and tumor size. High KIF4A expression also significantly worsened overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival rate (DFS) (P < 0.05, respectively). In addition, cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were inhibited by the KIF4A-shRNA group compared with the control (P < 0.05, respectively). In the end, knockdown of KIF4A could inhibit tumor development and metastasis in vivo. Further, the positive correlation between KIF4A and CDC5L existed, and KIF4A might promote pancreatic cancer proliferation by affecting CDC5L expression.ConclusionIn conclusion, the high expression level of KIF4A in PDAC was closely related to poor clinical and pathological status, lymphatic metastasis, and vascular invasion. KIF4A might be involved in promoting the development of PDAC in vitro and in vivo, which might be a new therapeutic target of PDAC.
