ABSTRACT: Background: Magnesium transporter subtype 1 (MAGT1) is involved in animal development and cell differentiation. Thus far, researches on MAGT1 are mainly focused on Cardiomyocyte regulation and differentiation, but rare research has been reported on cell proliferation, especially concerning the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: HeLa cells were transiently knock down with different SiRNAs and processed for RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, western blot, real-time PCR as well as cell cycle assays. Results: We showed that cell proliferation was significantly restricted with S-phase arrest in MAGT1 knock down cells, which was further confirmed by the up expression of p21, CCNA1 and CCNB1, while down expression of CCND1, CCNE1 and CDK4. Knocking down MAGT1 also resulted in significant transcriptional expression changes of 1599 target genes analyzed by RNA sequencing. The bioinformatics analysis showed that MAGT1 was related to MAPK signaling pathway. Western blot analysis confirmed that the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 exhibited a remarkable reduction in MAGT1 downregulated group. Conclusion: MAGT1 is critical in HeLa cell proliferation, S-phase progress and ERK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway, indicating that MAGT1 might be a novel target of anticancer research.
