WNT3 Promotes Chemoresistance in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma via Activating the Canonical β-catenin Pathway

ABSTRACT: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents a major malignancy in the oral and maxillofacial region. The primary therapeutic agents, 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and oxaliplatin (OXA), often encounter the challenge of chemoresistance, leading to treatment failure. The WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, closely tied with chemoresistance, offers a promising therapeutic avenue. This study delves into this potential connection. 5FU-resistant and OXA-resistant cell lines were established by gradually elevating the drug concentration in the culture medium. Differential gene expressions between parental and resistant cells were analyzed by RNA sequencing analysis, which was then substantiated via RT-qPCR and western blot. The influence of the WNT signaling on OSCC drug resistance was ascertained through WNT3 knockdown or overexpression. The WNT inhibitor, MSAB, was probed for its capacity to boost the efficacy of 5FU or OXA. Through transcriptome sequencing, successfully derived 5FU-resistant and OXA-resistant cell lines revealed a conspicuous activation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway in the drug-resistant cells. WNT3 was identified as a pivotal factor contributing to chemoresistance in OSCC. Counteracting β-catenin notably augmented the therapeutic potency of 5FU and OXA. Our study underscored the activation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway in resistant OSCC cell lines. By modulating WNT signaling activity, drug resistance in OSCC cells may be effectively circumvented.

Project description:Increasing evidence has shown that chemoresistance is related to the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and increased invasiveness by tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) cells. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in tumour metastasis and progression. However, the roles and mechanisms of lncRNAs in cisplatin resistance induced EMT and metastasis are not well understood. In this study, a Chemotherapy Induced Long non-coding RNA 1 (CILA1) was discovered by using microarrays and was functionally identified as a regulator of chemo-sensitivity in TSCC cells.Upregulation of CILA1 promotes EMT, invasiveness and chemoresistance in TSCC cells, whereas the inhibition of CILA1 expression induces MET and chemosensitivity and inhibis the invasiveness of cisplatin-resistant cells both in vitro and in vivo. We also found that CILA1 exerts its functions via the activation of the Wnt/ β-catenin signalling pathway.High CILA1 expression levels and low levesl of phosphorylated β-catenin were closely associated with cisplatin-resistance and advanced disease stage, and were predictors of poor prognosis in TSCC patients. These findings provided a new biomarker for Increasing evidence has shown that chemoresistance is related to the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and increased invasiveness by tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) cells.
