Overexpression of FBXO17 Promotes the Proliferation, Migration and Invasion of Glioma Cells Through the Akt/GSK-3β/Snail Pathway.


ABSTRACT: FBXO17 is a newly studied F-box protein associated with high-grade glioma. However, its exact role in glioma remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of FBXO17 in glioma both in vitro and in vivo and explore the underlying mechanism. Our results showed that FBXO17 mRNA and protein levels were upregulated in glioma cells including U87, U251, SHG44, and U-118-MG cells as compared to the HA1800 cells. Downregulation of FBXO17 significantly suppressed the cellular behaviors of glioma cells including cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In addition, FBXO17 knockdown induced E-cadherin expression and inhibited N-cadherin and vimentin expression at mRNA and protein levels in glioma cells. In contrast, overexpression of FBXO17 promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT process. Furthermore, FBXO17 regulated the Akt/GSK-3β/snail signaling pathway in glioma cells with significant changes in the expression levels of p-Akt, p-GSK-3β and snail. Additionally, inhibition of Akt by LY294002 reversed the effects of FBXO17 overexpression on cellular behaviors of glioma cells. Finally, in vivo mouse xenograft assay proved that downregulation of FBXO17 suppresses the tumorigenesis of glioma. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that FBXO17 acted as a promotor of glioma development via modulating Akt/GSK-3β/snail signaling pathway.
