S100A16 suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells in part via the JNK/p38 MAPK pathway.

ABSTRACT: S100 calcium binding protein A16 (S100A16) is the most recent member of the S100 calcium-binding protein family. The function of S100A16 has been associated with various types of cancer; however, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of S100A16 in CRC progression. The Oncomine dataset used in the current study revealed that the expression of S100A16 was decreased in CRC compared with normal colorectal tissues. Similar results were also determined via immunohistochemistry. In addition, a negative association was identified between S100A16 expression and the prognosis of patients with CRC. Further functional experiments revealed that S100A16 knockdown promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCT116 and SW480 cells, and vice versa in Lovo cells. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was promoted and the JNK/p38 MAPK pathway was activated in HCT116 cells following S100A16 knockdown, as determined via western blotting. Furthermore, S100A16 silencing promoted the migration and invasion of cells. EMT was also reversed when cells were treated with the JNK inhibitor (SP600125) or the p38 inhibitor (SB203580). In summary, the results of the present study demonstrated that S100A16 suppressed the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells partially via the JNK/p38 MAPK signalling pathway and subsequent EMT mediation.

Project description:As a member of the integrin family, integrin α3β1 (ITGA3) has been linked to intercellular communication and serves an important role in the signaling among cells and the extracellular matrix. MicroRNA (miR)‑199a‑5p has been demonstrated to be related to the pathogenesis and progression of multiple malignant diseases. However, the biological functions of miR‑199a‑5p and ITGA3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) have rarely been reported. The aim of the present study was to explore the roles of miR‑199a‑5p and ITGA3 in CRC. Immunohistochemistry staining and western blotting were applied to detect the protein expression of ITGA3 in CRC tissues and cells. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was performed to investigate the expression of miR‑199a‑5p and ITGA3 mRNA. HCT‑116 cells were transfected with miR‑199a‑5p mimics, mimics control, short hairpin RNA targeting ITGA3, or pcDNA‑ITGA3 for the functional experiments. Dual luciferase reporter assay was applied to confirm whether miR‑199a‑5p targeted the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of ITGA3. The MTT, Transwell and wound healing assays were used to evaluate the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC cells. Immunofluorescence assay was used to monitor the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker expression. The results demonstrated downregulation of miR‑199a‑5p and upregulation of ITGA3 in CRC tissues and cell lines. miR‑199a‑5p mimics and knockdown of ITGA3 suppressed the proliferation, invasion and migration of CRC cells. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR‑199a‑5p targeted the 3'UTR of the ITGA3 transcript, and overexpression of ITGA3 reversed the tumor‑suppressive effects of miR‑199a‑5p elevation. In addition, the immunofluorescence assay suggested that miR‑199a‑5p mimics suppressed the EMT of CRC cells, whereas the overexpression of ITGA3 restored this effect. In conclusion, miR‑199a‑5p may act as a tumor suppressor by targeting and negatively regulating ITGA3 in CRC.
