MTOR signaling pathway and targeting c-myc
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: To investigate the tumor-promoting role of STIL in bladder cancer. Method: We established the STIL knockout cell line in which the target gene was knocked out by sgRNA. RNA was extracted from cells using trizol reagent(Invitrogen) Result: Through RNA-sequencing analysis of wild-type and STIL-deficient UMUC3 cell lines, the downstream signaling pathways that STIL may be involved in were determined. We found that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and c-myc were significantly inactivated when STIL was knocked out in bladder cancer. Our RNA-sequencing analysis results showed that the downstream molecules of c-myc (MCM4, HSPD1, EIF2S2, DDX21, DDX18, CBX3, ABCE1) were significantly down-regulated in bladder cancer cells after knockout. Conclusion: STIL enhances the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which consequently upgraded the expression of c-myc, ultimately promoting the occurrence and progression of bladder cancer C. STIL may suggest potential utility for bladder cancer therapy.
